Annual Air Conditioner Tune-Ups

A dirty AC unit that’s in need of repair can reduce efficiency and raise your energy bills. An unserviced air conditioner is also more likely to fail when temperatures rise. An annual AC tune-up could help you save money on cooling costs and reduce the risk of a summertime breakdown.

Tune-Up Benefits

Prevent Breakdowns
A pre-season checkup can catch problems like refrigerant leaks or a faulty motor early, reducing the chances of big problems down the road. One issue can sometimes lead to another, because it puts stress on the entire cooling system.

Save Money
Aside from the savings you’ll get by avoiding emergency repairs, you can save on energy expenses. When you consider the fact that more than half of your home’s energy costs are for heating and cooling, improving your air conditioner’s efficiency is a worthwhile investment.

Extend the AC Unit’s Lifespan
Just as regular oil changes help to keep your car running smoothly, annual air conditioner maintenance will improve your unit’s lifespan. Keeping the unit free of dust and dirt, and ensuring all parts are lubricated and working properly will help you avoid the expense of replacing your cooling system.

Air Conditioner Tune-Up Include:

• Lubricating all motors and bearings
• Cleaning the evaporator and condenser coils
• Replacing the air filter
• Checking the refrigerant level
• Cleaning and adjusting the blower
• Checking and testing all electrical connections and controls
• Checking and cleaning the condensate drain
• Checking and calibrating the thermostat settings
• Checking voltage & amp draw of blower motor, compressor and condenser fan
• Testing the cooling system and capacitors
