There is never a good time to have your AC
unit break down, but you really don't Want
it to happen in the middle of summer! The
best way to ensure its optimal performance
is an AC tune-up.
With ERMU's AC Tune -Up Program, our
electric customers can receive up to a $75
bill credit for having their central AC unit
tuned up by a professional HVAC contractor.
Benefits of an AC tune-up
Efficiency - A tune-up can increase your air conditioner's efficiency by 15%.
Durability - If your AC unit is Working harder than it should be it can cause excessive Wear
and tear. Performing any necessary maintenance Will help to ensure your system lasts longer.
• Cost - Using an AC that is not operating properly will cost you more on your energy
bills. Additionally, if you have to purchase a new system prematurely it will also cost you.
