FAQs
What is included in a precision air-conditioning tune-up from your McMinnville team?
Our precision tune-up is an in-depth 20-plus-point service. A licensed technician will clean indoor and outdoor coils, tighten electrical connections, lubricate moving parts, calibrate the thermostat, inspect the blower motor and wheel, measure refrigerant charge and temperatures, test safety controls, check condensate drains, and verify overall system performance. You receive a written report explaining the condition of each component and any corrective recommendations.
How often should I schedule an AC tune-up in McMinnville?
For most residential systems we recommend one precision tune-up every spring before the cooling season begins. McMinnville’s mild but variable Willamette Valley climate means your air conditioner may sit idle for months and then run hard during summer heat waves, so an annual visit keeps components clean, lubricated, and properly charged. Commercial or heavily used systems may benefit from semi-annual service.
What benefits can I expect from a precision tune-up?
Customers typically see lower summer energy bills, faster and more even cooling, reduced risk of mid-season breakdowns, longer equipment life, and improved indoor air quality. A tune-up can restore up to 20 % of lost efficiency caused by dust, debris, and vibration and often preserves the manufacturer’s warranty by documenting professional maintenance.
Will a tune-up really save me money on energy bills?
Yes. Dirty coils, loose belts, and low refrigerant levels force an air conditioner to run longer to reach the same temperature. After a precision tune-up, the system operates at or near factory efficiency, which the U.S. Department of Energy calculates can cut cooling costs by 5–15 %. In McMinnville homes with heat pumps that run year-round, the savings can be even greater.
How long does a precision tune-up take, and do I need to be home?
Most residential tune-ups take 60–90 minutes. You do not have to stay home the entire time, but we ask that someone be present at the start to give the technician indoor and thermostat access and again at the end so we can review findings and secure your signature on the service report.
My air conditioner is working fine—do I still need a tune-up?
Absolutely. Many developing issues—low refrigerant, small electrical shorts, or motor bearing wear—are invisible until they cause a costly failure on a 95 °F day. A precision tune-up allows us to catch those problems early, protect your warranty, and keep your home comfortable without unexpected repair bills.
