FAQs
What is a precision tune-up and why is it important for my HVAC system in Knoxville?
A precision tune-up is a comprehensive, step-by-step service that calibrates, cleans, tests, and optimizes every critical part of your heating and cooling equipment. Knoxville’s humid summers and occasionally freezing winters put added strain on HVAC components. A tune-up catches minor issues before they become costly breakdowns, restores energy efficiency, extends equipment life, and helps maintain manufacturer warranties.
How often should I schedule a precision tune-up?
For most Knoxville homes, we recommend two tune-ups per year—one in early spring for your air conditioner and one in early fall for your furnace or heat pump. Biannual service ensures your equipment is prepared for the region’s extreme temperature swings and keeps your warranty valid. If you use a heat pump year-round, sticking to the twice-yearly schedule is even more critical.
What services are included in your precision tune-up package?
Our 30-plus-point checklist typically includes: • Thorough cleaning of condenser and evaporator coils • Inspection and tightening of electrical connections • Calibration of thermostat and safety controls • Lubrication of moving parts • Refrigerant level check and adjustment • Airflow measurement and static pressure test • Inspection of heat exchanger for cracks • Drain line cleaning and treatment • Filter replacement (standard sizes) • System performance report with recommendations. We tailor the visit to your equipment type and age.
Will a precision tune-up really lower my energy bills?
Yes. Dirty coils, loose belts, and low refrigerant can reduce efficiency by 15–30 %. Our tune-up restores the equipment to factory specifications, helping it cool or heat your home with less run-time. Customers in Knoxville typically see utility savings that offset the cost of the tune-up within a single season, especially during peak summer humidity and winter cold snaps.
How long does a precision tune-up take and do I need to be home?
Most visits last 60–90 minutes per unit. You don’t have to stay home the entire time, but we do need access to the thermostat, indoor unit, and outdoor condenser. Many homeowners choose to be present at the end of the visit so our technician can review the performance report, answer questions, and discuss any recommended repairs or upgrades.
Is a precision tune-up different from a basic maintenance check or inspection?
Absolutely. A basic inspection is largely visual and may only spot obvious problems. A precision tune-up is proactive and performance-based: we measure refrigerant charge, test airflow, verify temperature split, and calibrate controls. Think of it as the difference between a quick oil-change look-over and a full automotive tune-up that improves mileage and reliability.
