FAQs
Why does my air conditioner in Wartburg need a precision tune-up every year?
Morgan County’s long, humid summers force local cooling systems to run for months at a time. A yearly tune-up removes the dust, pollen, and grit that collect on coils and motors, restores factory-level airflow, and lets our technician spot worn parts before they fail in 95° heat. Most manufacturers also require documented annual maintenance to keep the equipment warranty in force.
What exactly is included in your Wartburg precision A/C tune-up?
Our 20-plus-point checklist covers: measuring refrigerant charge; cleaning indoor and outdoor coils; flushing the condensate drain; tightening electrical connections; lubricating moving parts; testing capacitors, contactors, and safety controls; calibrating the thermostat; checking temperature split and static pressure; and verifying overall system efficiency. You receive a written report and any recommendations when we’re done.
How long will the tune-up take, and will my system be off the whole time?
Most visits last 60–90 minutes. We do have to shut the unit off while we clean coils and test electrical components, but downtime is usually less than 30 minutes. When finished, we restart the system, confirm proper operation, and leave your home as cool as when we arrived.
Can a tune-up really lower my utility bills and extend equipment life?
Yes. Dirty coils can cut efficiency by 20 % or more, forcing the compressor to run longer and draw extra amps. A tune-up restores heat-transfer surfaces, corrects low refrigerant that raises energy use, and keeps fan motors within design specs. The result is lower monthly electric costs and reduced wear, which can add 3–5 years to the life of your air conditioner.
How is a precision tune-up different from a repair call or a maintenance plan?
A repair call fixes something that has already broken. A precision tune-up is preventive—it brings the system back to peak settings before a failure occurs. A maintenance plan bundles one or two tune-ups per year with priority scheduling and discounts on future repairs; it’s the most economical option if you want ongoing protection.
What does the tune-up cost and are there specials for Wartburg residents?
Our standard tune-up is $119 for a single residential system. Through August we’re offering Wartburg homeowners a $89 introductory price, which includes the full checklist and a free 1-inch pleated filter. Additional systems at the same address are discounted to $69 each. Prices are flat-rate, so you never pay extra if the job takes longer than expected.
