FAQs
Why are seasonal HVAC tune-ups important in Ocoee’s climate?
Central Florida’s hot, humid summers and mild, occasionally chilly winters place unique demands on heating and cooling equipment. A spring tune-up prepares your air conditioner for months of heavy use, while a fall tune-up ensures the heat strip or heat pump is ready for cool snaps. Regular service keeps coils clean, refrigerant levels correct, motors lubricated, airflow balanced, and safety controls calibrated, reducing the risk of mid-season breakdowns and extending system life in Ocoee’s challenging climate.
What is included in your seasonal heating and air-conditioning tune-up service?
Our 21-point tune-up covers the entire system, inside and out. We: • Inspect and clean condenser & evaporator coils • Check refrigerant charge and adjust if needed • Test thermostat calibration and programming • Tighten electrical connections & measure voltage/amp draw • Lubricate moving parts (motors, bearings, fan) • Clean/replace standard air filter • Flush and treat the condensate drain line • Test safety and limit controls • Measure temperature split & static pressure • Inspect ductwork for leaks or biological growth • Verify heat strip/heat pump defrost cycle (fall service) • Provide a written report with recommendations so you know exactly how your system is performing.
How often should I schedule a tune-up for my HVAC system?
Manufacturers and energy experts recommend two professional tune-ups per year—one in the spring before cooling season and one in the fall before heating season. Twice-yearly visits catch issues early, keep efficiency high, and meet most warranty requirements. If you have a heat pump that runs year-round, biannual service is especially important.
Will a tune-up really lower my energy bills?
Yes. A well-maintained system can operate 10–20% more efficiently than a neglected one. Cleaning coils improves heat transfer, proper refrigerant charge prevents the compressor from over-working, and a clear air filter and balanced airflow reduce fan energy. Lower energy use means lower monthly bills, and the savings often offset the cost of the tune-up.
How long does a typical tune-up visit take and do I need to be home?
Most residential tune-ups take 60–90 minutes per system. We schedule convenient two-hour arrival windows and call when we’re on the way. An adult does need to be home to provide access to the thermostat, air handler, and breaker panel. If you can’t be there the whole time, you may return once our technician has finished and is ready to review the inspection report.
Can a tune-up help preserve my manufacturer’s warranty?
Nearly all HVAC manufacturers require proof of regular professional maintenance to keep parts warranties in force. Our seasonal tune-ups meet those requirements, and we document each visit with a detailed checklist and invoice. If a covered component ever fails, you’ll have the records needed for a hassle-free warranty claim.
