FAQs
Why is a seasonal air-conditioning tune-up important in Lake City’s climate?
Lake City experiences hot, humid summers and mild, damp winters. Those conditions can strain your air-conditioning components, encourage biological growth inside the cabinet, and cause corrosion on coils. A seasonal tune-up catches small issues before they become breakdowns, restores lost efficiency, and ensures your system can handle long stretches of 90 °F+ weather without wasting electricity or failing when you need it most.
What specific tasks are included in your AC tune-up service?
Our NATE-certified technicians complete a 20-plus-point checklist that includes: inspecting and cleaning the evaporator and condenser coils, testing refrigerant levels and pressures, tightening electrical connections, lubricating motors and bearings, checking the thermostat’s calibration, flushing and treating the condensate drain, replacing or cleaning the air filter, measuring airflow and temperature split, and verifying overall system safety and performance.
How often should I schedule a heating and air-conditioning tune-up?
For equipment operating in North Florida, we recommend two maintenance visits per year—one in spring for cooling and one in fall for heating. At minimum, schedule an AC tune-up every spring so the unit is clean, charged, and ready for peak summer demand. Skipping tune-ups can void manufacturer warranties and shorten equipment life by several years.
Can a tune-up really lower my energy bills?
Yes. Dirty coils, loose belts, and low refrigerant can reduce efficiency by 5–15 %. After a tune-up, your system doesn’t have to work as hard to reach set temperatures, which lowers run time and electricity consumption. Many Lake City homeowners see their summer bills drop enough to offset the cost of maintenance, especially when combined with regular filter changes.
How long does the appointment take, and do I need to be home?
Most residential tune-ups take 60–90 minutes. We ask that an adult be present to grant access to the indoor air handler, outdoor condenser, and thermostat. If you can’t be home, let us know in advance—many customers provide temporary access codes or arrange for a neighbor to meet our technician.
Is the tune-up covered by my warranty or a maintenance plan?
Manufacturer parts warranties do not pay for routine maintenance, but they often require proof that you’ve had annual service to keep coverage valid. Our company offers affordable maintenance plans that include the seasonal tune-ups, priority scheduling, and discounts on repairs. Ask us for plan details when you book your appointment.
