FAQs
Why are preventive air-conditioning tune-ups important in Briceville’s climate?
Briceville experiences hot, humid summers and significant pollen and dust from nearby mining and rural areas. These conditions push your air-conditioning system to run for long hours and clog filters and coils faster than in milder climates. A preventive tune-up cleans, calibrates, and tests every critical component so your AC can handle the local heat load efficiently, avoid mid-season breakdowns, and maintain healthy indoor air quality.
What is included in your Briceville AC preventive maintenance visit?
Our certified technician will: 1) Inspect and tighten electrical connections, 2) Clean evaporator and condenser coils, 3) Check refrigerant level and look for leaks, 4) Flush and treat the condensate drain, 5) Replace or clean the air filter, 6) Lubricate moving parts, 7) Test thermostat operation and recalibrate if necessary, 8) Measure airflow and static pressure, 9) Verify system safety controls, and 10) Provide a full written report with recommendations. All work follows ACCA (Air Conditioning Contractors of America) maintenance standards.
How often should I schedule an air-conditioning tune-up for my Briceville home?
For most central AC and heat-pump systems, we recommend one comprehensive tune-up each spring before sustained 80-plus-degree weather arrives. If you have pets, live on an unpaved road, or suffer from allergies, consider adding a mid-season filter change or a second quick check in late summer. Commercial or rental properties with higher usage may need quarterly visits.
Will a tune-up really lower my energy bills?
Yes. Dirty coils, low refrigerant, or a miscalibrated thermostat can reduce efficiency by 5–15%. After a tune-up, the system doesn’t have to work as hard to reach the set temperature, which translates into fewer kilowatt-hours consumed. Many Briceville customers see their July–August electric bills drop $15–$30 per month following service—often enough to pay for the tune-up within a single cooling season.
How long does a standard preventive tune-up take?
Most residential systems in Briceville require 60–90 minutes. Older equipment, rooftop units, or systems needing coil cleaning or refrigerant adjustments may take up to two hours. We schedule convenient two-hour arrival windows and call or text 30 minutes before we arrive, so you can plan your day with minimal disruption.
Is your preventive maintenance service covered by a warranty or satisfaction guarantee?
Absolutely. All tune-ups are backed by our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee: if you’re not happy with our workmanship within 30 days, we’ll return and address the issue at no charge. Parts we supply are covered by a one-year warranty, and any repairs recommended during the tune-up and approved by you receive a standard parts-and-labor warranty as well. Our technicians are licensed, insured, and EPA-certified for refrigerant handling.
