When Should I Get My AC Tuned Up in Massachusetts?

To prepare your cooling system for Massachusetts’ hot, humid summers, we recommend scheduling a professional inspection and tune-up each spring. This ensures your system will be ready to go for the first hot day of the season.

Whether you have central AC or a ductless mini-split, routine maintenance will keep your cooling system running reliably all summer long.

Benefits of Routine Air Conditioning Tune-Ups

When you keep your cooling system maintained with routine tune-ups, you can expect the following benefits:

• Maximized system life span
• Fewer breakdowns over the life of the unit
• Improved energy efficiency
• Lower monthly energy bills
• System warranty compliance

How Often Should I Service My Air Conditioner?

It’s best practice to schedule an inspection and tune-up at least once each year.

Preventative maintenance helps you address small issues before they lead to major breakdowns. It also allows a technician to clean your unit to ensure its running as efficiently and effectively as possible.

Scheduling your annual air conditioning maintenance in the spring is ideal to ensure your system will be up and running when temperatures rise, but you can also schedule your appointment for the summer.

What To Expect During AC Maintenance

Inspection, cleaning, and repair are the three primary task types seen in preventative maintenance appointments. When you schedule your annual air conditioning maintenance, you can expect your HVAC technician to:

• Clean the unit’s condenser coils
• Check the refrigerant pressure
• Inspect your air filters
• Check the humidity levels
• Inspect all electrical connections
• Recalibrate your thermostat
• Check vents
• And more!

DIY AC Tune-Up Tasks

In addition to scheduling annual maintenance, there are other tasks you should complete regularly to keep your cooling system in great shape:

• Clean or replace your air filters at least every three months
• Remove debris like leaves, dirt, and dust from your outdoor unit
• Trim trees and shrubs growing too close to outdoor unit
