Summer may already be here, but it’s not too late for an A/C tune-up. Don’t trust your tune-up and maintenance to anyone else. Just like your car, your home cooling system needs regular maintenance to perform at its best. That’s why we offer air conditioner tune-up and cooling system maintenance that can improve the energy use of your unit by up to 10 percent, with options to suit every budget.
With our 14-point annual tune-up, we’ll monitor your system, cleaning and replacing parts as they age. And we’ll do it right the first time, so you won’t have to see us for a repeat visit.
When we arrive—on time, as scheduled—we’ll work quickly and quietly to get your system back on line and operating at its best.
A tune up includes the following:

Lubricate all moving parts
Check operating pressures and temperatures
Clean or replace air filters (provided by customer)
Measure refrigerant superheat to fine-tune its charge
Flush condensate drain to protect against overflow
Clean outdoor condenser coil
Clean and check blower motor and belt
Test temperature drop at return and supply air; adjust blower speed.
Safety test all controls for proper operation.
Check voltage and amperage in all motors; test for worn bearings.
Check condition of compressor contacts.
Inspect start and run capacitors and relays for bulges, rust and leaks.
Check and safety test all wires and connections.
Inform cutover of equipment condition; recommend necessary repairs or comfort improvements.
