5 Steps to an Annual AC Tune-Up

Keeping your air conditioner well-maintained is the key to a comfortable home. One way to optimize your system is to schedule an AC tune-up. An HVAC professional can inspect your system and make any adjustments to ensure you are prepared for the upcoming summer months. Here is an overview of what’s included in an AC tune-up.

1. Detailed Inspection

The first step in an AC tune-up is a thorough inspection of your entire system. A certified technician will examine all components, including the thermostat, condenser, evaporator, blower motor, and ductwork. They will check for any signs of wear and tear, identify leaks, or find damage that could affect the system’s performance.

2. Cleaning Services

A clean air conditioning system is much more efficient than a dirty one. During the tune-up, the technician will clean the condenser coils, evaporator coils, and blower fan to remove dust, dirt, and debris that can reduce airflow and efficiency. A technician will also clean or replace the air filters to ensure optimal air quality in your home.

3. Refrigerant Check

The technician will check the refrigerant level in your system and ensure it is within the correct range. Low refrigerant levels can reduce efficiency and increase wear on the compressor, while too much refrigerant can damage the system. The technician will recharge the refrigerant according to the manufacturer’s specifications.

4. Thermostat Calibration

Proper thermostat calibration is essential for temperature control and energy efficiency. The technician will check the thermostat to ensure accurate readings and make necessary adjustments.

5. System Performance Test

Finally, the technician will perform a comprehensive system performance test to evaluate the effectiveness of your air conditioning system. They will check the airflow, temperature output, and pressure levels while making necessary adjustments to optimize performance.
