FAQs
What is a precision tune-up and why does my HVAC system need one?
A precision tune-up is a detailed, multi-point inspection and adjustment of your heating and cooling equipment performed by a licensed technician. During the visit, the tech checks safety controls, cleans critical components, calibrates thermostats, verifies refrigerant levels, tightens electrical connections, and measures airflow. In Hixson’s hot, humid summers and occasionally chilly winters, this service keeps your system running efficiently, prevents unexpected breakdowns, and extends equipment life.
How often should I schedule a precision tune-up for my heating and air conditioning system in Hixson?
Industry standards and most equipment manufacturers recommend two tune-ups per year—one in spring for the air conditioner and one in fall for the furnace or heat pump. Hixson’s climate places heavy seasonal demands on both heating and cooling sides of your system, so biannual maintenance ensures optimal performance before peak-use periods.
What specific tasks are performed during a precision tune-up?
Our technicians follow a 20-plus-point checklist that typically includes: cleaning or replacing air filters, inspecting the blower assembly, checking refrigerant charge and superheat, cleaning condenser and evaporator coils, testing capacitors and contactors, tightening electrical connections, lubricating moving parts, verifying thermostat accuracy, inspecting flue and combustion for gas furnaces, checking safety and limit switches, and documenting system performance before and after service.
Will a precision tune-up lower my energy bills?
Yes. Dirty coils, low refrigerant, loose belts, and improper airflow all force your HVAC system to work harder than necessary. A well-calibrated, clean system can operate up to 15–20% more efficiently. Over the long Hixson cooling season, that can translate into noticeable monthly savings and reduced wear on expensive components.
Can a precision tune-up help maintain my manufacturer’s warranty?
Absolutely. Most HVAC manufacturers require proof of regular professional maintenance to keep warranty coverage valid. Our precision tune-up includes a written service report you can present if you ever need to file a warranty claim, protecting your investment in the equipment.
How long does a precision tune-up visit take and do I need to be home?
A standard tune-up usually takes 60–90 minutes per system. While we prefer someone be home to grant access and discuss findings, many customers in Hixson arrange entry and receive a digital report afterward. We respect your schedule, arrive within a tight appointment window, and clearly explain any recommendations before performing additional work.
