FAQs
What is included in a precision air-conditioning tune-up?
Our precision tune-up is a 20-plus point inspection and service that covers every critical component of your cooling system. We clean the indoor and outdoor coils, check and adjust refrigerant charge, tighten electrical connections, test capacitors and contactors, lubricate moving parts, flush the condensate drain, verify thermostat calibration, measure temperature differentials and airflow, and inspect safety controls. When we leave, your system is operating at the manufacturer’s specifications and ready for the season.
How often should I schedule a precision tune-up for my AC system in Signal Mountain?
Because of the region’s warm, humid summers and occasional spring pollen, we recommend one comprehensive tune-up each year—ideally in early spring, before you rely on the system every day. Annual service keeps your warranty intact, catches wear issues early, and ensures peak efficiency during the hottest Signal Mountain afternoons.
Will a precision tune-up really lower my energy bills?
Yes. A clean, properly charged, and well-calibrated system does not have to run as long or as hard to reach your set temperature. Industry studies show that neglected units can lose up to 15% of their seasonal efficiency, while a tuned system can save 5–20% on cooling costs. You’ll also reduce the chance of an emergency breakdown, which can be far more expensive than preventive maintenance.
How long does the service visit usually take, and do I need to do anything beforehand?
Most residential tune-ups take 60–90 minutes. Larger homes with multiple systems may take longer. All we ask is that you clear the area around the indoor air handler and the outdoor condenser so our technician has safe access. If you have pets, please secure them for everyone’s comfort and safety. We bring drop cloths and shoe covers to protect your home and will review our findings before we leave.
Is a tune-up still necessary if my air conditioner is under warranty?
Absolutely. Manufacturers require documented annual maintenance by a licensed HVAC professional to keep parts warranties valid. Skipping service could void your coverage. Our detailed tune-up report provides the proof you need if a warranty claim ever arises and ensures that small issues are corrected before they lead to major repairs.
