FAQs
Why does my air conditioner in Pelham need a seasonal tune-up?
Pelham’s hot, humid summers put heavy demand on your cooling system. A seasonal tune-up cleans, tests, and calibrates critical components so the unit can handle the workload without strain. Regular service helps prevent mid-season breakdowns, maintains manufacturer warranty requirements, extends equipment life, and can improve efficiency by 10–15%, saving you money on power bills.
What tasks are performed during a Pelham AC tune-up?
Our certified technicians follow a 20-plus-point checklist that includes: checking refrigerant pressures and temperatures, cleaning condenser and evaporator coils, tightening electrical connections, testing capacitors and contactors, inspecting the blower motor and belt, flushing the condensate drain, replacing the standard air filter, lubricating moving parts, verifying thermostat operation, and measuring system airflow and temperature differentials. We finish with a written health report and any repair recommendations.
When is the best time to schedule my seasonal tune-up?
For air conditioning, we recommend booking in early spring—March or April—before consistent 80- and 90-degree days arrive in Pelham. Scheduling early ensures convenient appointment times and gives you a performance head start for the season. If you missed spring, it’s still beneficial to service the system any time it has gone six months or more without professional attention.
How long does a typical tune-up visit take and will it interrupt my day?
Most residential tune-ups take 60–90 minutes. We provide a narrow arrival window, call or text when we’re on the way, and work neatly around your home. Because the procedure is non-invasive—no walls opened or major parts removed—you can continue working from home or running errands while we service the equipment.
Will a seasonal tune-up really lower my energy bills?
Yes. Dirty coils, low refrigerant, or a misaligned blower wheel force the compressor to run longer to achieve the same comfort level. After cleaning and adjustments, the system can cool more efficiently, often reducing energy consumption by 5–15%. Customers typically see the difference within the first full billing cycle after service, especially during peak summer usage in Pelham.
What is the cost of a tune-up and do you offer maintenance plans?
A single seasonal tune-up starts at $99 for most standard residential systems. We also offer Comfort Club plans that include two precision tune-ups per year (spring AC and fall heating), priority scheduling, a 15% repair discount, and no overtime charges—all for as low as $17 per month.
