What To Expect During an AC Tune-Up
To keep your air conditioner running correctly all summer, it’s important to have it tuned up at least once a year by a professional. During these routine services, you can expect a technician to:
- Make sure that your system has the correct amount of refrigerant, as well as check for any leaks.
- Inspect your air ducts for excessive debris and potential leaks. If we discover any problems, air duct service may be recommended.
- Make sure that the proper amount of air is flowing through your evaporator coil. We will also examine the coil to determine if there are any other issues.
- Verify the correct electric control sequence and ensure that cooling and heating sequences are not operating at the same time.
- Inspect the electric terminals and apply a non-conductive coating if needed.
- Oil the motors, as needed.
- Examine the belts and inspect all other working components.
- Inspect your thermostat to determine if it is properly controlling your indoor climate.
