Just like your vehicle, your AC unit requires regular maintenance in order to work effectively. Without a regular tune-up, you could see your energy bill go up, the efficiency of your system go down, or fluctuating and inconsistent temperatures.
People don’t usually notice an issue with their AC system until they turn on their device for the first time in the season, because air conditioners are mostly used only for a few months out of the year. Due to this fact, it’s a good idea to have it inspected before you need it–typically sometime in the spring. Not having a functioning air conditioner on an extremely hot day is not only uncomfortable but potentially dangerous. Regular AC maintenance helps ensure your cooling system is always ready to go.
Here are some of the steps we take during our AC tune-up services:
Low refrigerant can cause weak airflow, warm air from vents, or even frozen coils. During a tune-up, our AC technicians measure and adjust refrigerant levels so your unit can cool properly without overworking.
Dust and debris buildup on coils makes your system work harder and reduces efficiency. Our AC maintenance technician will clean and straighten coil fins to restore proper airflow and heat transfer.
A clogged air filter is one of the most common causes of poor performance and higher bills. We replace or clean the filter to improve indoor air quality and help the system run more smoothly.
If your thermostat isn’t reading temperatures correctly, your home may feel warmer or cooler than it should. Calibrating or repairing the thermostat ensures accurate control over your HVAC system.
From electrical connections to drainage lines, our technician checks for leaks, hazards, and wear-and-tear issues that can turn into costly breakdowns if left unaddressed.
Outdoor AC units often get blocked by leaves, dirt, or even landscaping. We will clear away debris to help promote better airflow and prevent overheating.
Neglecting routine maintenance may not seem like a big deal, but over time, it leads to higher energy bills, more frequent repairs, and premature replacement. A simple tune-up can keep your energy bills under control, extend your unit’s lifespan, and save you from the expense of replacing your AC earlier than necessary.
We recommend scheduling AC tune-up services once a year, ideally in the spring before summer use.
Yes, in many cases, an AC tune-up can resolve weak airflow and uneven cooling because problems with filters, ducts, or coils are often corrected during maintenance.
Most tune-ups take about an hour, though more time may be needed if issues are found.
If your system is older, a tune-up can still be beneficial, but your technician may recommend starting to plan for replacement to avoid unexpected breakdowns.
