Availability, Cost, and Your Preferred Schedule

May is an extremely busy period as the first hot days cause an influx of calls for HVAC maintenance and repairs. March and April are ideal because the temperatures are high enough for testing, and technician availability is higher. As we move towards the end of March, you have a few weeks left to avoid the summer rush.

Costs increase as demand rises. If you leave it until summer to book AC maintenance, you will wait longer for a technician, and the rates are typically higher.

The Benefits of an early Pre-Season AC Tune-Up on Long Island

Beyond convenience, there are actually technical benefits when you book an AC tune-up in April.

• Humidity Control: May’s temperatures aren’t extreme. They average around 68°F. However, the humidity is excessive. It will feel hotter inside your home because of this. An early tune-up will ensure that your system is ready to be used to dehumidify your home. Pro Tip: Run your AC around 77°F in May to control humidity.
• Efficiency: If you start using your air conditioner before your maintenance visit, it will be less efficient. A pre-season tune-up includes lubrication, a new filter, coil cleaning, and several mechanical and safety inspections. A technician will optimize your thermostat and ensure that your system runs at its full potential. This can decrease electricity costs by 15% to 20% compared to a neglected unit.
• Static Pressure Check: If you use a central system, an early inspection and tune-up will allow plenty of time for a static pressure check and any necessary duct repairs. Ducted systems can lose around 30% of their efficiency if there are undetected leaks.
