FAQs
What is a seasonal HVAC tune-up and why is it important in Sevierville?
A seasonal tune-up is a professional inspection, cleaning, and performance check of your heating and cooling equipment before peak-use periods. In Sevierville, where summers are hot and humid and winters can drop below freezing, your system works hard year-round. A tune-up restores efficiency, catches small issues before they become costly breakdowns, helps maintain manufacturer warranties, improves indoor air quality, and can extend the life of your furnace, heat pump, or air conditioner.
How often should I schedule a heating and air conditioning tune-up?
Most manufacturers and energy experts recommend two visits per yearâone in early spring for the air conditioner and one in early fall for the heating side of the system. This timing ensures the equipment is clean, lubricated, and adjusted right before it faces the stresses of Seviervilleâs summer heat or winter chill. If you have a heat pump that runs year-round, semi-annual service is even more critical.
What does your seasonal tune-up service include?
Our comprehensive checklist covers more than 20 points, including: ⢠Cleaning indoor and outdoor coils ⢠Checking refrigerant levels and pressures ⢠Inspecting and tightening electrical connections ⢠Testing safety controls and limit switches ⢠Lubricating motors and bearings ⢠Verifying thermostat calibration ⢠Inspecting the heat exchanger for cracks ⢠Measuring gas pressure or amp draw ⢠Flushing the condensate drain ⢠Replacing or cleaning the air filter (yours or ours) ⢠Checking ductwork for leaks and measuring airflow. When weâre done, you receive a written report with any recommendations.
Can a tune-up really lower my energy bills?
Yes. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, a well-maintained HVAC system can operate up to 15â30 % more efficiently than a neglected one. Cleaning coils improves heat transfer, proper refrigerant charge prevents compressor overwork, and calibrated burners or heat strips consume less energy. Over the course of Seviervilleâs long cooling season and chilly winter nights, these savings can add up to hundreds of dollars annually.
How long does a tune-up take, and do I need to be home?
Most appointments take 60 to 90 minutes per system. We ask that someone be present for the initial walk-through and final review so we can go over findings, but we can perform the bulk of the work while you handle other tasks. Many homeowners schedule morning visits before work or during lunch breaks, and weâll call or text when the technician is en route.
My system is new and under warrantyâdo I still need a tune-up?
Absolutely. Nearly all manufacturers require documented annual or semi-annual maintenance to keep the warranty valid. Even new equipment can lose efficiency quickly in Seviervilleâs pollen-heavy spring and dusty mountain air. A tune-up establishes a performance baseline, helps us spot factory defects early, and ensures your investment stays protected for the full warranty period.
