Why March Is the Perfect Time for an A/C Tune-Up in Sarasota

As temperatures start to rise in Sarasota, many homeowners are turning off the heat and switching on the air conditioning. March marks the beginning of Florida’s warm-up period, and it’s the perfect time to schedule an A/C tune-up before the real heat sets in.

Getting ahead of the season with preventative maintenance now can save you from breakdowns later—and ensure your home stays cool and comfortable through the long Sarasota summer.

Avoid the Spring Service Rush

Once April and May roll around, every homeowner will be looking to get their system serviced before the first heatwave. Booking your tune-up in March puts you at the front of the line. You’ll have more scheduling flexibility, faster service, and peace of mind knowing your system is ready to handle the workload.

Preventative Maintenance = Fewer Repairs

Even if your A/C seems to be working fine, unseen issues like low refrigerant, worn belts, or clogged coils can sneak up on you. Our experienced techs at McDonald Home Services perform a full inspection to catch small problems before they become big, expensive repairs.

What’s Included in a McDonald A/C Tune-Up?
• Clean condenser and evaporator coils
• Inspect blower components and airflow
• Check refrigerant charge
• Test thermostat calibration
• Inspect ductwork for leaks
• Tighten all electrical connections
• Replace or clean filters
• Lubricate moving parts

These steps not only improve system performance but also extend the lifespan of your equipment.

Lower Your Energy Bills

A clean, well-maintained A/C doesn’t have to work as hard to keep your home cool. That means you’ll use less energy—and spend less on utilities—over the coming months. In Sarasota, where the A/C runs almost year-round, that adds up fast.
