Warmer Weather Is Right Around the Corner!
Winter got you down? We get it! Even though our cold-weather season is fairly short here in Southern California, we still experience those chilly days and nights. So, we have some great news for you! March is upon us, and we’re excited to watch those temps soar into the 80s for our average highs. Are you ready to bask in the warmth? And, more importantly, is your air conditioner ready to keep you cool when you need it? In this part of SoCal, your AC’s busy season starts in March and won’t end until late October. That’s a big responsibility for one little ol’ air conditioning unit! Timo’s specializes in AC repair in Thousand Palms, CA. But instead of waiting for something to go wrong with your system, you can schedule a preseason AC tune-up to ensure your system is ready to hit the ground running as the temps rise this season.
Sing a Happy Tune(-Up) This Spring
Spring cleaning may be all the rage, but what about spring tune-ups? Here are just some of the reasons why scheduling an AC tune-up today is a smart choice:
- You’ll increase your AC’s efficiency. Clogged filters. A leaky condensate line. Mold growth. Excess dust and dirt. Yuck! At Timo’s, our technicians are trained to look for these problems and others during our thorough preseason air conditioning inspections and tune-ups. We’ll make any necessary adjustments so your system operates smoothly and reliably throughout the summer season.
- You’ll lower the risk of a breakdown. You don’t want your AC system to break down in the middle of the summer season. Contractors are busier during the warmer months. Parts are harder to find. And it can take longer for a new system to arrive after it’s ordered. A tune-up now will help prevent these types of problems down the road.
- You could experience improved indoor air quality. Adding a new filter, removing pollen, dust and mildew as well as making certain adjustments could result in cleaner, less-humid indoor air.
- You’ll prevent costly repairs down the line. During our preseason tune-ups, we often identify (and fix) small problems before they spiral out of control into larger, more expensive issues. (We’ll always get your approval first before making any repairs.)
- You’ll help your system last longer. When you take good care of your vehicle, it lasts longer. The same is true for your AC (or heating) system. Plus, regular maintenance helps keep your warranty valid.
- You’ll make scheduling easier. The busiest seasons for HVAC contractors are summer and winter. If you schedule your tune-up during the spring for your AC and the fall for your heater, your contractor should have more open slots so you can choose a day and time that works with your schedule.
- You’ll make your home safer. A well-maintained cooling or heating system is a safer system. We’ll remove or make you aware of items that can make your system less safe, such as dirt, dust, pests or other materials that can cause electrical outages. We’ll also look for plants, weeds or shrubbery that can grow too close to your outside unit and adversely affect its efficiency.
Some customers ask us if regular tune-ups are worth it or just a way for us to make money. Let us assure you these tune-ups are invaluable. Don’t believe us? Just ask the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and its ENERGY STAR program! The EPA highly recommends regular tune-ups to help homeowners save money, be more energy efficient and improve their indoor air quality.
