In the summertime, your cooling costs make up a large portion of your home’s energy costs. Making sure your air conditioner is efficient as possible can drastically lower these costs. If your Mid-Hudson Valley air conditioning unit is malfunctioning or isn’t performing as efficiently as you need it to, you may need to have it a professional service it. Sometimes the air your AC unit is producing won’t be as cold as you need it, and sometimes you’ll notice higher energy costs when you’re using your air conditioner just as frequently.

Spending the money to have a  professional tune-up  of your AC unit can end up saving you a lot in the long-run, not just on your energy costs, but also on more expensive repairs in the future. During a tune-up, our Mid-Hudson Valley air conditioning repair specialists will check for leakage, refrigerant shortages, and check your belts and engines. These basic tune-ups will ensure that your AC is able to produce the coolest air possible while using the least amount of energy.

There are also parts of your ducts that you could most likely clean on your own, and build-up of dirt and grime in your ducts can significantly raise your cooling costs.

During a Mid-Hudson Valley air conditioning tune-up, a professional will be able make sure your entire duct system is thoroughly cleaned, and that it doesn’t have any leakage points. Plus, there may be problems you wouldn’t have noticed without a professional. And those problems will rapidly get worse if they’re not taken care of quickly.

Our Mid-Hudson Valley  air conditioning repair specialists  recommend homeowners have their AC units inspected and tuned up once every year.
