FAQs
Why is an annual AC tune-up important in Blountville’s climate?
Sullivan County summers bring high humidity and frequent temperature swings that force your air conditioner to run harder and longer. Dust from nearby fields and pollen carried by the Holston River valley can quickly accumulate on coils and filters, reducing efficiency. A professional tune-up cleans, calibrates, and tests critical components so your system can handle local weather extremes, last longer, and keep utility bills in check.
What does your AC tune-up service include?
Our 21-point inspection covers every major part of your cooling system: thermostat calibration, refrigerant level check, electrical connection tightening, capacitor and contactor testing, condenser and evaporator coil cleaning, blower motor lubrication, air-flow measurement, drain-line flush, air-filter replacement (customer-supplied or add-on), and a full safety performance test. We document all findings and review any recommended repairs with you before work begins.
How often should I schedule maintenance for both my air conditioner and heating system?
We recommend two visits per year—one in early spring for the air conditioner and one in fall for the furnace or heat pump. Regular service keeps manufacturer warranties valid, maximizes seasonal efficiency ratios (SEER), and helps us catch small problems before they become emergency breakdowns during the August heat or January cold snaps.
How long does a typical tune-up appointment take?
Most residential systems in the Blountville area can be fully inspected, cleaned, and tested in 60–90 minutes. If we discover issues such as low refrigerant or a failing capacitor, additional time may be needed for repairs, but we’ll always provide an upfront estimate and get your approval first.
Will a tune-up really lower my energy bills?
Yes. Dirty coils and misaligned components can reduce an AC unit’s efficiency by 15–20%, leading to higher kWh usage. After a tune-up, systems often regain their original SEER rating, which translates to lower monthly electric bills and reduced strain on components—particularly important during TVA peak-rate periods in midsummer.
Do you offer warranties or maintenance plans after the tune-up?
All tune-up work is backed by a 1-year labor warranty on adjustments we perform. For ongoing peace of mind, consider our Comfort Club Plan: two precision tune-ups per year, priority scheduling, 15% off repairs, and zero after-hours fees for emergencies. Many Blountville homeowners find the plan pays for itself through energy savings and discounted repair costs.
