FAQs
What is included in a precision air-conditioning tune-up from your Caryville team?
Our certified technicians follow a 20-plus–point checklist that covers every critical component of your cooling system. We clean the indoor and outdoor coils, clear the condensate drain, tighten electrical connections, test capacitors and contactors, measure refrigerant charge, inspect the blower wheel, lubricate moving parts, calibrate the thermostat, verify airflow, and run a full performance test. You receive a written report that details current operating conditions and any recommendations, so you know exactly how your system is performing before the summer heat sets in.
How often should I schedule an AC tune-up in Caryville’s climate?
Because Caryville experiences hot, humid summers, we recommend one precision tune-up every spring—ideally between March and early May. This timing lets us correct efficiency-robbing issues before you need daily cooling. If you have a heat pump that also heats your home in winter, a second check-up in the fall is wise. Regular annual service keeps your manufacturer’s warranty intact and ensures peak performance during the longest, hottest days.
Will a tune-up really lower my energy bills and extend the life of my air conditioner?
Yes. Department of Energy studies show that a properly maintained system can operate up to 15 % more efficiently than a neglected one. Cleaning coils and verifying refrigerant charge alone can cut runtime and reduce energy consumption. Tune-ups also uncover small problems—such as weak capacitors or a partially clogged drain—before they escalate into major breakdowns or compressor failure. Over time, fewer repairs and reduced strain on components can add three to five years to the life of your equipment.
How long does the appointment take, and do I need to be home?
A standard precision tune-up typically takes 60–90 minutes per outdoor unit, slightly longer if we discover issues that need attention. We do ask that an adult be home to provide access to the thermostat, air handler, and breaker panel, and to review our findings once the service is complete. If you cannot be present, let our office know in advance so we can arrange secure access and send the full inspection report electronically.
My AC seems to be working fine—do I still need a tune-up?
Absolutely. Many efficiency losses and wear-and-tear problems are invisible until they cause a sudden failure on a 95 °F afternoon. Dust-coated coils, low refrigerant, or a weak capacitor may not stop your system today, but they force the compressor to work harder, raise utility costs, and shorten equipment life. A preventive tune-up costs far less than an emergency repair or premature system replacement, and it keeps your indoor comfort consistent all season long.
How much does a precision AC tune-up cost, and are there specials for Caryville residents?
Our standard Caryville pricing is $99 for a single-system tune-up and $79 for each additional system serviced during the same visit. We frequently run preseason specials that discount the first unit to as low as $79. Seniors, military families, and Comfort Club members receive additional savings. Club membership (just $14.95 per month) includes two precision tune-ups per year, priority scheduling, and 15 % off any repair parts—an excellent value for households with both heating and cooling equipment.
