The final step of the tune up service is simply running the system to ensure smooth operation. After that, it will be ready to go for the season!

When Should I Schedule AC System Maintenance?

The tune up process only needs to happen once a year. Ideally, you will want to schedule this HVAC service before the summer heat arrives. If possible, schedule the maintenance inspection in early spring before you need to regularly run the AC.

If time creeps up on you and summer hits before inspection, do not skip it for the year. It is still beneficial to have the system inspected if you have already turned it on for the season. The tune up will only take an hour or so but will help the system in the future. After all, you want to avoid emergency service issues in the future!

If you are a business owner, it’s even more essential to schedule a tune up. If your Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, AC unit breaks down, you risk making your customers and staff work in extreme conditions.
