FAQs
Why does my Townsend home’s air conditioner need a precision tune-up each year?
Townsend’s warm, often humid summers force your air conditioner to run for long stretches. Dust, pollen, and moisture can quickly coat coils, clog drains, and loosen electrical connections. A yearly precision tune-up removes those contaminants, tests critical components, and recalibrates the system so it can handle the next cooling season without wasting energy or risking an unexpected breakdown.
What specific tasks are included in your precision air-conditioning tune-up?
Our technicians follow a 20+ point checklist that includes: • Deep cleaning of condenser and evaporator coils • Testing refrigerant charge and adjusting to factory specs • Tightening electrical connections and measuring voltage/amperage draw • Flushing the condensate drain and adding algaecide tablets • Lubricating motors and bearings where applicable • Inspecting blower wheel, belts, and pulleys • Checking thermostat accuracy and recalibrating if needed • Verifying airflow and static pressure • Inspecting safety controls and contactors • Providing a written performance report with recommendations
How often should I schedule a tune-up, and when is the best time in Townsend?
For most residential systems, one precision tune-up per year is ideal. We recommend booking in early spring—March or April—before the first heat wave arrives. That allows ample time to address any issues and ensures you receive priority scheduling before our peak summer service demand.
Will a tune-up really lower my energy bills or extend the life of my AC?
Yes. According to ENERGY STAR, a well-maintained system can operate up to 15% more efficiently than a neglected one. Clean coils transfer heat faster, correct refrigerant levels prevent compressor strain, and tightened electrical connections reduce amperage draw. Over time, that translates into noticeable utility savings and fewer major repairs, allowing your unit to reach—or even exceed—its expected 12–15-year lifespan.
How long does the appointment take, and do I need to be home?
Most tune-ups take 60–90 minutes per outdoor/indoor system. We ask that an adult be present to grant access to the thermostat, indoor air handler, and outdoor condenser. Afterward, our technician will review findings, answer questions, and leave a detailed inspection report for your records.
