FAQs
What is a precision tune-up and why does my HVAC system in Estill Springs need one?
A precision tune-up is a thorough, multi-point inspection, cleaning, and calibration of your heating and cooling equipment. Unlike a quick visual check, we test critical components (compressor, blower motor, safety controls, refrigerant charge, gas pressures, etc.) with professional instruments. Estill Springs sees hot, humid summers and cool, damp winters, so your HVAC system runs almost year-round. A tune-up corrects minor wear before it becomes a breakdown, extends equipment life, maintains manufacturer warranty requirements, and ensures peak efficiency for lower utility bills.
What does your precision tune-up service include?
Our technicians follow a detailed checklist that typically covers: • Inspecting and tightening all electrical connections • Cleaning condenser and evaporator coils • Checking refrigerant level and adjusting if necessary • Measuring airflow and static pressure • Calibrating the thermostat and verifying temperature split • Lubricating moving parts (motors, bearings, dampers) • Testing safety switches, igniters, and heat exchangers for cracks or corrosion • Flushing and treating condensate drains to prevent clogs and mold growth • Replacing or washing standard air filters • Verifying system start-up, run, and shutdown performance • Providing a written report with findings, recommendations, and efficiency readings
How often should I schedule a tune-up for my heating and air system?
We recommend two tune-ups per year—one in early spring for the air conditioner and one in early fall for the furnace or heat pump. Seasonal service ensures your system is ready before peak demand and gives us time to order parts if we detect a problem. If you have a year-round heat pump, biannual visits are even more important because the unit both heats and cools your home.
Will a precision tune-up really lower my energy bills?
Yes. Dirty coils, low refrigerant, and loose electrical connections can reduce efficiency by 5–20 %. By restoring factory settings, cleaning heat-transfer surfaces, and verifying correct airflow, a tune-up allows the system to move the same amount of air with less energy. Most homeowners in Estill Springs see their utility bills drop enough to offset the cost of the tune-up within one season.
How long does the appointment take and do I need to be home?
A standard tune-up for a single system takes about 60–90 minutes. If we service both an AC unit and a furnace or heat pump, plan on two hours. We prefer that an adult be present so we can review findings and get permission for any optional repairs. If that’s not possible, we can arrange outdoor access and email the full report for your approval.
Is a precision tune-up different from regular maintenance or a repair call?
Yes. Routine maintenance (like replacing air filters) can be done by the homeowner and keeps the unit clean between professional visits. A precision tune-up is a scheduled, preventive service performed by certified technicians using specialized tools. A repair call, on the other hand, happens after a breakdown and often costs more because parts have failed. Investing in tune-ups reduces the likelihood of emergency repairs and maximizes comfort and efficiency.
