FAQs
What is a precision air-conditioning tune-up, and why is it important for homes in Georgetown?
A precision tune-up is a comprehensive, step-by-step service visit designed to restore your air-conditioning system to peak operating condition. In Georgetown’s hot, humid summers, your AC works long hours; dirt buildup, vibration, and normal wear can cause it to lose efficiency, drive up utility bills, and shorten equipment life. A yearly precision tune-up cleans, adjusts, and tests every critical component so the system cools faster, runs quieter, and is far less likely to break down during triple-digit heat.
What specific tasks do your technicians perform during a precision tune-up?
Our NATE-certified technicians follow a 20-plus-point checklist that includes: • Deep cleaning the outdoor condenser coil and indoor evaporator coil • Checking refrigerant charge and superheat/sub-cool readings • Inspecting and tightening all electrical connections • Testing capacitors, contactors, and relays for proper amperage draw • Measuring temperature split and total static pressure to verify airflow • Lubricating non-sealed motors and bearings • Flushing the condensate drain line and treating the pan for algae • Calibrating the thermostat and verifying communication with the air handler • Inspecting the blower wheel, belt, and motor mounts • Confirming safety controls and disconnects function correctly • Providing a written report with any recommendations.
How often should I schedule an AC precision tune-up in Georgetown?
Because Central Texas sees cooling demands from late spring through early fall, we recommend one precision tune-up every year, ideally in March or April before heavy use begins. If you run the system year-round or have pets, high traffic, or allergies, a mid-season check in late July can further improve performance and indoor air quality.
Can a tune-up really lower my energy bills?
Yes. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, a properly serviced air-conditioner can operate up to 15 % more efficiently than a neglected unit. Cleaning coils alone can cut energy use by 5-10 %. During the tune-up we also ensure the refrigerant charge is correct; an under- or over-charged system can waste another 20-25 % in electricity. Homeowners typically see the tune-up cost returned through lower monthly bills within one cooling season.
How long does a typical precision tune-up take, and do I need to be home?
Most residential Georgetown tune-ups take 60–90 minutes per system. We book two-hour arrival windows and send you a text when the technician is en route. You do not have to remain onsite the entire time, but we do need access to the thermostat, air handler, and outdoor condenser. At the end of the visit the technician reviews findings, shows before-and-after photos, and emails the inspection report and payment receipt.
Is a tune-up different from a repair, and what happens if you find a problem?
A precision tune-up is preventive maintenance, not a repair. We inspect and adjust components that are still within manufacturer specifications. If we discover a failing capacitor, a refrigerant leak, or another issue outside the scope of routine service, the technician will explain the problem, provide up-front pricing options, and—with your approval—complete the repair during the same visit whenever parts are stocked on the truck. Catching problems early often prevents costly emergency service later in the summer.
