FAQs
What is included in a Precision AC Tune-Up?
Our tune-up is a multi-point service that covers every critical component of your air-conditioning and heat-pump system. A certified technician will clean the condenser and evaporator coils, inspect refrigerant levels and pressures, tighten electrical connections, calibrate the thermostat, test safety controls, lubricate moving parts, clear the condensate drain, check ductwork for leaks, measure airflow and temperature differential, and provide a full written report of findings. Any minor adjustments needed to restore factory performance are made on the spot.
How often should I schedule a tune-up for my heating and cooling system in Cosby?
For most residential systems we recommend a precision tune-up once a year. Because Cosby experiences hot, humid summers and chilly winters, your equipment operates nearly year-round, which accelerates wear. Annual maintenance keeps the manufacturer warranty valid, catches small issues before they become costly breakdowns, and ensures peak efficiency no matter the season.
Why is a tune-up important even if my air conditioner seems to be working fine?
Many performance losses are invisible to the homeowner. A 10 % drop in refrigerant charge or a partially clogged coil will not stop the unit from cooling, but it will force the compressor to run longer and harder, shortening its life and raising your energy bills. A precision tune-up restores correct operating conditions, prevents surprise failures during extreme weather, and extends the average system life by several years.
Will a tune-up lower my energy bills?
Yes. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that a well-maintained HVAC system can save 5–15 % on monthly utility costs compared with a neglected unit. Cleaning coils, adjusting refrigerant charge, and verifying proper airflow all reduce the amount of electricity your system needs to reach the set temperature. Many Cosby homeowners recover the cost of the tune-up in utility savings within one cooling season.
How long does the service visit take and do I need to be home?
A typical precision tune-up takes 60–90 minutes per outdoor/indoor unit pair. We ask that an adult (18+) be present to grant access to the thermostat, indoor air handler, and outdoor condenser. If you cannot be home, you may authorize another adult or arrange for keyless entry, and we will text detailed photos and a digital report when finished.
Is there a best time of year to book a precision AC tune-up in Cosby?
We recommend scheduling your tune-up in early spring before the first heat wave or in early fall after heavy summer use. You’ll avoid peak-season emergency calls, secure a more convenient appointment, and head into the hottest or coldest months with confidence that your system is ready. However, if it has been over a year since your last service, book as soon as possible—your equipment benefits from maintenance at any time.
