FAQs
What is included in a precision air-conditioning tune-up in Loudon?
A precision tune-up is a comprehensive service visit that goes far beyond a quick inspection. Our certified technicians will: • Check and tighten all electrical connections • Measure voltage and amperage on motors • Inspect, clean, and straighten condenser and evaporator coils • Test refrigerant pressures and adjust the charge as needed • Lubricate moving parts • Clean or replace standard air filters • Inspect the condensate drain and clear blockages • Test safety controls, thermostat calibration, and overall system performance • Document findings and recommend any corrective actions. The goal is to restore your system to peak efficiency and catch small issues before they become expensive repairs.
How often should I schedule an air-conditioning tune-up for my Loudon home?
Industry standards and most equipment warranties recommend a professional tune-up once per cooling season. In Loudon, where summer temperatures and humidity can be high from May through September, an annual spring service visit is ideal. If your system is older than 10 years, runs nearly nonstop, or cools a home with pets and high dust, consider twice-yearly visits (spring and late summer) to maintain reliability.
What are the main benefits of a precision tune-up compared with a basic service call?
A basic service call typically addresses only a specific problem or symptom, often after something has already failed. A precision tune-up is preventive and performance-oriented. Benefits include: • Up to 20% improved energy efficiency through proper cleaning and calibration • Lower utility bills all summer long • Longer equipment life by reducing wear and tear • Fewer unexpected breakdowns during Loudon’s hottest days • Verification that the system meets manufacturer specs, which helps keep warranties valid • Improved indoor air quality and comfort due to clean coils and correct airflow.
Will a tune-up really lower my energy bills?
Yes. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, a dirty or poorly maintained air conditioner can use 15–25% more electricity than a properly tuned system. During a precision tune-up we remove dirt that limits heat transfer, ensure the refrigerant charge is correct, and calibrate airflow. All of these steps help the unit cool more with less runtime, directly reducing your monthly TVA/Loudon Utilities charges.
How long does a tune-up take, and do I need to be home?
A standard residential precision tune-up usually takes 60–90 minutes per outdoor unit, plus an additional 20–30 minutes if we service the indoor coil and blower. We do ask that an adult be present so we can review findings, obtain approval for any minor repairs, and verify thermostat settings. If you can’t be home, we can arrange secure outdoor access and provide a digital report, but we’ll need permission to enter the indoor air-handler area if required.
Do you offer any guarantees or maintenance plans after the tune-up?
Absolutely. Every precision tune-up is backed by our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee—if your system fails within 90 days due to something we should have addressed, we’ll return at no charge. We also offer affordable Comfort Club plans for Loudon customers: you receive two tune-ups per year (heating and cooling), priority scheduling, 15% off repairs, and no after-hours fees. Many homeowners find the plan pays for itself through energy savings and discounted repairs.
