FAQs
What is a precision air-conditioning tune-up and why is it important?
A precision tune-up is a comprehensive inspection, cleaning, calibration, and performance test of every critical part of your cooling system. By restoring factory-fresh settings, removing dirt that restricts airflow, and identifying worn or failing parts before they break, the tune-up improves comfort, reduces energy use, prevents mid-season breakdowns, and often extends the life of the equipment.
What does your precision tune-up service include?
Our technician will: • Inspect and tighten all electrical connections • Test capacitors, contactors, and relays • Measure refrigerant pressures and superheat/sub-cool to verify correct charge • Clean the outdoor condenser coil and indoor evaporator coil surface (where accessible) • Clear and treat the condensate drain line • Lubricate moving parts as required • Check thermostat operation and calibrate if necessary • Verify airflow and inspect the blower wheel • Record voltage/amp draw on compressor and fan motors • Provide a written report with recommendations.
How often should I schedule a precision tune-up for my AC unit in Apison?
For most residential systems we recommend a tune-up once a year, ideally in early spring before sustained warm weather arrives. Apison’s pollen, humidity, and temperature swings can quickly degrade system efficiency, so annual service keeps you prepared. High-use households or homes with pets, smokers, or recent renovations may benefit from bi-annual visits.
Will a tune-up really lower my energy bills?
Yes. Dirty coils, low refrigerant, or a misaligned blower can make your system run 15–25 % longer to reach the same temperature. After a precision tune-up, customers typically see a 5–15 % drop in summer cooling costs. Improving airflow and restoring proper refrigerant charge lets the unit reach set-points faster and cycle off sooner, saving electricity every day.
How long does the appointment take and do I need to be home?
A single-stage residential system generally takes 60–90 minutes to service; larger or multi-stage units may require up to two hours. We ask that an adult be present to grant access to the thermostat, air handler, and outdoor condenser, and to review the technician’s findings. If you cannot be home, arrangements can be made in advance for keyless entry or smart-lock access.
Does a precision tune-up keep my manufacturer’s warranty valid?
Most major HVAC manufacturers, including Trane, Carrier, and Lennox, require proof of annual professional maintenance to honor parts warranties. Our precision tune-up satisfies that requirement. After each visit we supply a digital service record you can present if a warranty claim ever arises, protecting you from out-of-pocket repair costs.
