FAQs
Why are preventive HVAC tune-ups important in Bluff City’s climate?
Bluff City experiences humid summers and chilly, occasionally freezing, winters. Those extremes force your heating and cooling equipment to work hard nearly year-round. A preventive tune-up cleans, lubricates, and recalibrates critical components so the system can handle the workload efficiently, reducing the chance of mid-season breakdowns, lowering energy use, and extending equipment life.
How often should I schedule a heating and air conditioning tune-up?
We recommend two visits per year—one in early spring for the air conditioner and another in early fall for the furnace or heat pump. Scheduling before peak seasons lets us spot wear, replace filters, and make adjustments while parts are readily available and appointments are flexible.
What services are included in your Bluff City preventive maintenance visit?
Our 25-point checklist covers all major makes and models. Key tasks include: • Checking refrigerant charge and testing for leaks • Cleaning condenser and evaporator coils • Inspecting blower motor, belts, and bearings • Flushing and treating the condensate drain • Tightening electrical connections and measuring voltage/amp draw • Verifying thermostat calibration • Testing safety controls, ignition, and combustion on gas units • Replacing standard air filter and applying lubricant where needed • Documenting findings and providing a written health report of your system.
Can a tune-up really lower my monthly utility bills?
Yes. Dirt buildup, low refrigerant, or a loose electrical connection can cut system efficiency by 5–15%. After a tune-up your equipment moves air or refrigerant with less effort, which translates into fewer kilowatt-hours and less natural gas burned. Many Bluff City homeowners see enough savings over the season to offset most—if not all—of the maintenance cost.
Will preventive maintenance keep my manufacturer warranty valid?
Most HVAC manufacturers require proof of annual professional maintenance to honor parts warranties. Our certified tune-ups satisfy those terms. After each visit we provide dated documentation you can present if you ever need to file a warranty claim.
Do I need to be home during the service, and how long does it take?
We do prefer an adult be present to grant access and discuss any concerns. A standard tune-up takes 60–90 minutes per system. If we discover an issue that needs immediate repair, we’ll explain the problem, quote pricing, and—with your approval—complete the fix on the same visit whenever possible.
