FAQs
What is an energy-saving HVAC tune-up and why is it important?
An energy-saving tune-up is a comprehensive inspection, cleaning, and adjustment of your heating and cooling system aimed at restoring peak efficiency. By tightening electrical connections, calibrating thermostats, cleaning coils, checking refrigerant levels, and lubricating moving parts, we reduce the amount of energy the equipment needs to deliver the same comfort. In Jellico’s mixed climate, this means lower monthly utility bills, fewer surprise breakdowns, and improved indoor air quality.
How often should I schedule a heating and air conditioning tune-up in Jellico?
For most homes 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 addresses wear that occurred during the last heating or cooling cycle and prepares the system for the upcoming temperature extremes typical of Jellico. If your equipment is newer and still under warranty, semi-annual maintenance is usually required by the manufacturer to keep that warranty valid.
What specific tasks are performed during your energy-saving tune-up service?
Our certified technicians follow a 20-plus-point checklist that includes: • Cleaning and straightening condenser and evaporator coils • Replacing or washing air filters • Checking thermostat accuracy and recalibrating if needed • Measuring refrigerant charge and adjusting to factory specs • Inspecting ductwork for leaks and making minor sealing repairs • Tightening electrical connections and testing safety controls • Lubricating motors, bearings, and other moving parts • Measuring airflow and static pressure • Flushing and treating condensate drains to prevent clogs • Verifying gas pressure, burner combustion, and heat exchanger integrity for heating units.
Can a tune-up really reduce my utility bills, and if so, by how much?
Yes. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that a well-maintained HVAC system can operate up to 15–20 % more efficiently than a neglected one. In practical terms, homeowners in Jellico typically see savings of $10–$30 per month during peak heating or cooling seasons, depending on system age, size of the home, and local energy rates. Over a year, that can add up to $150–$300—not counting the avoided costs of emergency repairs.
Will a tune-up help my system last longer and keep my warranty valid?
Absolutely. Dirt buildup, low refrigerant, and loose components force equipment to work harder, accelerating wear and shortening life expectancy. Routine tune-ups correct these issues, allowing furnaces and air conditioners to reach or exceed their 12–15-year design life. In addition, most manufacturers require documented annual or semi-annual professional maintenance to honor parts warranties, so our service records protect you from out-of-pocket expenses if a covered component fails.
When is the best time of year to book a tune-up, and how do I schedule with your Jellico team?
Book your cooling tune-up in March or April, before summer demand spikes, and your heating tune-up in September or early October. Scheduling early guarantees more flexible appointment times and plenty of buffer for any needed repairs. To set up service, call our Jellico office at the number listed on this page, use the online booking form 24/7, or send us a quick text. We offer same-day appointments, convenient two-hour arrival windows, and maintenance plan discounts for customers who pre-schedule both annual visits.
