Air Conditioner (AC) Tune-Up Services

We recommend getting an air conditioner tune-up once a year to ensure all parts of your AC are working properly. This regularly scheduled maintenance service is commonly called a “clean and check” and should be performed by a professional HVAC technician in the spring before hot temperatures arrive.

However, if you live in a warmer climate or frequently run your AC, we recommend scheduling two annual AC tune-ups: one in the spring and one in the fall. This helps ensure peak performance whenever you’re using your AC.

Here are some signs that it’s time for air conditioning maintenance:

• AC constantly runs or frequently switches on and off
• Cooling vents produce less airflow than normal
• Indoor humidity levels are higher than normal
• Energy costs have increased
• Indoor temperatures are higher and your unit can’t keep up

During your AC tune-up, our technicians will perform a comprehensive inspection to assess the condition of your unit and determine if any repairs are necessary.

What Is Included in an AC Tune-Up?

1. Comprehensive Inspection: First, we inspect both the air handler and condenser units to identify any problems.
2. Optimizing Airflow: If your condenser unit is located outside, we will ensure the surrounding area is clear to prevent airflow obstruction and allow the unit to operate efficiently.
3. Detailed Cleaning: We clean coils, fan blades, and all other components to remove dirt and debris.
4. Filter Replacement: We replace your air filter to maintain healthy indoor air quality and help the system run efficiently. A clean air filter is key to unobstructed airflow through your system.
5. Refrigerant Refill: We refill refrigerant gas to the appropriate levels to keep your system cooling properly. 
6. Check Electrical Connections & Parts: We fasten any loose electrical connections and replace any faulty or worn parts. 
7. Repairs & Maintenance: If we uncover any issues during our inspection, we’ll perform the necessary repairs and maintenance tasks to resolve them.
8. Lubricating Moving Parts: We lubricate all moving parts to keep your system running smoothly for as long as possible.

Scheduling regular AC maintenance is an investment in the longevity of your system and the comfort of your home. Don’t wait until your AC goes out in the middle of summer—let us identify any issues before they require serious repairs.

Here are some benefits of getting AC maintenance:

• Better cooling performance
• Healthier indoor air quality
• Improved efficiency
• Longer-lasting system
• Lower energy bills

How Often Should My AC Be Tuned Up?

Generally, you should have your AC tuned up once a year. However, if you have an older unit or live in a hot climate, you should get maintenance services twice a year.

How Long Does an AC Tune-Up Take?

The average AC tune-up takes about an hour. This time includes flushing and replacing the antifreeze, which is important because antifreeze helps protect your AC unit from corrosion. 

Do You Really Need an AC Tune-Up?

Yes! AC tune-ups help keep your system running efficiently, which can save you money on your monthly energy bills, prolong the lifespan of your system, and prevent the need for costly repairs.

Additionally, a professional AC technician is trained to perform more intensive maintenance, like topping off refrigerant, replacing fan motors, and inspecting electrical components.

We’ll repair any issues we find during your AC tune-up, but if you have an older unit that seems to be nearing the end of its lifespan, it may be a good investment to install a new, energy-efficient system.
