Keep Your Cool This Summer,Why You Should Schedule A/C Maintenance Now

When Minnesota finally heats up, you want your air conditioner working, not breaking down. The worst time to discover an issue with your cooling system is during a 90-degree heatwave when every HVAC company is booked out for weeks.

That’s why spring is the perfect time to get ahead. A simple tune-up now can keep your home cool, efficient, and problem-free all summer long.

Why A/C Maintenance Matters Before Summer Hits

Your air conditioner has likely been sitting idle for months, collecting dust and possibly developing issues you won’t notice until it’s too late. Annual maintenance ensures everything is clean, connected, and ready to handle the workload of the warmer months.

Here’s what a spring A/C tune-up can do for you:

  • Prevent surprise breakdowns on the hottest days of the year
  • Improve energy efficiency, helping lower your monthly utility bills
  • Extend the lifespan of your system, saving you money long term
  • Catch small issues early before they become expensive repairs
  • Improve indoor air quality by cleaning dust and buildup from coils and filters

What’s Included in a Professional A/C Tune-Up?

When you schedule air conditioner maintenance with Finken, here’s what our expert technicians inspect and clean:

  • Outdoor condenser coils
  • Refrigerant levels and pressure
  • Electrical connections and wiring
  • Air filters and vents
  • Blower motor and fan operation
  • Thermostat accuracy and controls
  • Drain lines and moisture buildup

Every system we service gets a thorough check to ensure it’s operating at peak performance before temperatures rise.

Signs Your A/C Needs Service

Not sure if your unit is due for maintenance? Watch for these early signs that something may be wrong:

  • Your system takes longer than usual to cool your home
  • Weak airflow coming from vents
  • Strange smells or loud noises when running
  • Rising energy bills without increased usage
  • Excessive humidity indoors

If you’re experiencing any of these, don’t wait. These are often early warnings that your system is working harder than it should and heading for a breakdown.

Book Early, Stay Cool All Season

The best time to schedule air conditioner maintenance is before the first heat wave hits, when availability is wide open and your system hasn’t yet been pushed to its limits. Waiting until midsummer can leave you sweating while waiting for an appointment.
