FAQs
What is included in a precision A/C tune-up for homes in Fountain City?
Our precision tune-up is a 20-plus-point service designed to restore your cooling system to factory-fresh performance. A certified technician will clean the outdoor condenser coils, wash or replace the air filter, check refrigerant charge and adjust if needed, tighten electrical connections, test capacitors and contactors, lubricate moving parts, inspect the evaporator coil and drain pan, clear the condensate line, calibrate the thermostat, verify airflow and static pressure, and run a full safety and performance cycle. You receive a written report showing every reading we took and any corrective recommendations.
How often should I schedule an A/C tune-up in Fountain City’s climate?
We recommend one precision tune-up every spring before the summer heat arrives. Fountain City experiences hot, humid weather from late May through September, so having your system serviced in March or April ensures maximum efficiency and reliability when temperatures climb. If you have a heat pump that provides both heating and cooling, plan on two visits per year—one in spring and one in fall—to keep both modes operating at peak performance.
What benefits will I see after a professional tune-up?
A properly tuned system can lower your summer electric bills by 10–15 %, deliver colder supply air, and maintain more consistent indoor humidity. Preventive maintenance also extends equipment life by reducing compressor stress, catching failing parts early, and eliminating dirt that causes premature wear. Most manufacturers state that routine maintenance can reduce the likelihood of a major breakdown by up to 80 %, saving you the cost and hassle of emergency repairs during Fountain City’s hottest days.
Will a tune-up help keep my manufacturer or extended warranty valid?
Yes. Nearly all major HVAC manufacturers require proof of annual professional maintenance to honor parts warranties. Our technicians document every measurement, cleaning, and adjustment performed and provide you with a digital and hard-copy maintenance certificate. If you ever need a warranty claim, this record shows the system has been properly cared for and prevents denial of coverage due to neglect.
Can a tune-up really improve indoor air quality?
Absolutely. Cleaning the evaporator and condenser coils removes mold, pollen, and dust that circulate through your ductwork. We also inspect and replace clogged filters, clear the condensate drain (a common source of biological growth), and verify proper airflow and duct integrity. These steps reduce airborne irritants, control humidity, and help allergy and asthma sufferers breathe easier inside their Fountain City homes.
How long does the service take, and do I need to be home?
A standard precision tune-up takes 60-90 minutes for most residential systems, but larger homes and heat pumps may take up to two hours. We ask that an adult be present at the start to grant access to the thermostat, indoor air handler, and outdoor unit, and at the end so the technician can review findings and answer questions.
