What Does an AC Tune-Up Include?

As temperatures rise, your air conditioner becomes essential to home comfort. But just like a car, your AC system needs regular maintenance to run efficiently, and that’s where an AC tune-up comes in. A tune-up is traditionally scheduled in the Spring or early Summer to make sure that Air Conditioning appliances are operating efficiently. It can save you a real headache when you schedule routine tune-ups and/or maintenance on your HVAC appliances. Its much better to find out you need repairs before the hottest days of the year than during, especially since HVAC contractors are often quite busy during the middle of the summer.

What is an AC Tune-up?

An AC tune-up is a professional maintenance service performed by HVAC technicians to ensure your air conditioning system is operating at peak performance. It involves a comprehensive inspection, cleaning, and adjustment of the system’s key components to improve energy efficiency, prevent breakdowns, and extend the lifespan of the unit.

What is the Importance of an AC Tune-Up?

Regular tune-ups offer several benefits, like:

  • Improved energy efficiency: Lower energy bills and reduced carbon footprint
  • Prevention of unexpected breakdowns: Catch issues early before they escalate.
  • Extended lifespan of your unit: Well-maintained systems last longer.
  • Better indoor air quality: Clean filters and coils improve airflow and filtration.
Scheduling a tune-up before the peak summer season ensures your AC is ready when you need it most.

What Should I Expect from an AC Tune-Up?

Here’s what a standard AC tune-up typically includes:

1. HVAC System Inspection

  • Thermostat settings.
  • Electrical connections.
  • Refrigerant levels.
  • Air Flow through vents.
  • Blower components and belts.

2. Cleaning the Essential Parts

  • Condenser coils and evaporator coils.
  • Drain lines and drain pan.
    Air filters (cleaned or replaced).
  • Exterior and interior units.

3. Testing & Lubrication

  • Test system controls and safety features.
  • Lubricate moving parts to avoid wear and tear.
  • Verify startup cycle functions properly and smoothly.
  • Measure temperature difference and airflow to be sure it’s accurate.

4. Report and Recommendations

  • Overview of any concerns or wear and tear.
  • Recommendations for repairs or upgrades to efficiency and savings.
  • Price estimate for any parts that need replacing.

A trustworthy company should leave you with good documentation and a personalized plan for having the system run cleanly and efficiently during every season.
