Air Conditioning System Tune-Up

Regular maintenance nearly guarantees you see a return on investment with your air conditioning system. A professional tune up takes things a step further. It covers everything related to AC function, efficiency, and comfort. When performed at least once a year, an inspection can contribute to improved safety, fewer repairs, and lower operating expenses.

An air conditioning tune up includes:

• Thoroughly cleaning the condenser coils to reduce wear and tear and improve efficiency.

• Evaluating coolant level to ensure the air conditioner operates as it is designed to.

• Lubricating moving parts to eliminate friction and reduce wear.

• Inspecting ductwork to identify sources of contamination and leaks that can waste energy.

• Checking the blower motor for performance issues and the blower belt for wear.

• Calibrating the thermostat and ensuring it is operating properly.

• Inspecting and, if necessary, tightening electrical components and ensuring they’re operating safely.

An AC technician will also inspect the condenser coil, wiring, compressor, suction line, isolation pads, fittings, refrigerant pressure, and bearings for any hidden problems. Safety devices are checked, while electrical issues such as exposed wiring, damaged contactors, and motor amperage and voltage will be evaluated.
