FAQs
What exactly is included in your Precision Tune-Up for air conditioners in Sequatchie?
Our Precision Tune-Up is a 20-plus-point inspection and service that covers the entire cooling system. A certified technician will clean the outdoor coil and condensate drain, check refrigerant charge and pressures, tighten electrical connections, lubricate moving parts, test capacitors and contactors, measure temperature split, verify thermostat calibration, inspect ductwork for leaks, and run a complete safety and performance cycle. When the visit is finished you receive a written report showing everything we did and any issues that may need attention later.
Why is an annual tune-up important for homes in Sequatchie’s hot, humid climate?
Sequatchie summers typically push AC systems to run for long stretches in high humidity. Dust, pollen, and moisture build up on coils and electrical components, forcing the unit to work harder and shortening its life. A yearly tune-up removes that buildup, restores peak efficiency, and catches small refrigerant or electrical problems before they cause a midsummer breakdown. Regular maintenance is the number-one way to avoid emergency repairs during the hottest weeks of the year and to extend the lifespan of your equipment by several seasons.
How long does a professional AC tune-up visit take?
Most residential systems can be fully inspected, cleaned, and adjusted in about 60 to 90 minutes. Larger homes with multiple systems or units that have been neglected may take up to two hours. We schedule convenient appointment windows and arrive with all tools and common replacement parts so the job is completed in one visit without disrupting your day.
Will a tune-up really lower my monthly energy bills?
Yes. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that a dirty condenser coil or a low refrigerant charge can increase cooling costs by 20%–30%. By restoring factory airflow and refrigerant levels, tightening electrical connections, and calibrating the thermostat, a precision tune-up allows the compressor and fan motors to run at their designed efficiency, often trimming $10–$25 from an average Sequatchie electric bill during peak summer months. Over an entire cooling season, the savings usually pay for the cost of the service.
Does skipping tune-ups affect my manufacturer’s warranty?
Most major HVAC manufacturers—including Trane, Carrier, Lennox, and Goodman—state in their warranty terms that the homeowner must provide "annual maintenance by a qualified technician." Failure to document yearly service can give the manufacturer grounds to deny a warranty claim if a covered part fails. Our tune-ups satisfy those requirements and we keep all records on file, giving you written proof of maintenance should you ever need to submit a warranty claim.
What signs tell me my AC is overdue for a tune-up or service call?
If you notice warm spots in the home, reduced airflow, water around the indoor unit, higher-than-normal energy bills, strange noises at start-up, or the outdoor fan cycling on and off more than usual, your system is telling you maintenance is overdue. A precision tune-up can often correct these issues before they escalate into costly repairs or total system failure during a Sequatchie heat wave.
