Let’s break it down for you!
What is an Air Conditioner Tune-Up?
An air conditioner tune-up is when a professional HVAC technician thoroughly inspects and maintains your cooling system. This includes checking all components to ensure they function properly and making necessary adjustments or repairs.
What Happens During the Tune-Up?
During an air conditioner tune-up, you can expect the following tasks to be performed:
- Cleaning: The technician will clean any dirt and debris from the indoor and outdoor units of your AC.
- Inspecting electrical connections: The technician will check all electrical connections to ensure they’re secure and in good condition.
- Lubricating moving parts: The technician will lubricate any moving parts (like motors and fans) to reduce friction and prevent wear and tear.
- Checking refrigerant levels: The technician will inspect the refrigerant levels in your AC and add more if needed. Low refrigerant levels make your AC work harder and less effectively.
- Inspecting and cleaning condensate drain: The technician will check the drain for any clogs or buildup—this can result in water leaks and mold growth.
- Testing thermostat: The technician will test your thermostat to ensure it’s accurately reading and responding to temperature changes.
- Examining overall performance: The technician will check the overall performance of your AC, including airflow and cooling capabilities, to identify any potential issues or inefficiencies.
- Making necessary repairs: If the technician discovers any problems during the tune-up, they will recommend repairs and estimate the cost.
