An HVAC tune-up can save you money in the long run because it helps us identify problems before they’re serious. This means that they’re less likely to have damaged your system, and they may be easier and cheaper to repair. In addition, your AC may last longer, so you could go a few more years before you need a replacement. An air conditioner that performs more efficiently also saves you money on bills.
When we do AC maintenance, there are a few things you can expect. We’ll do a visual inspection of your unit, and we’ll also run diagnostics to test that everything is working correctly. Among the things that we’ll check are your thermostat, compressor and blower assembly. We’ll make sure that your safety controls are operating as they should, and we’ll clean your condenser coils. We’ll check your refrigerant levels, which can also help alert us to the possibility of a leak. In all, once we’ve done a thorough maintenance check, you can feel confident that your AC is in good shape.
Even for a fresh AC installation, annual maintenance should start in the first year. Otherwise, the warranty generally will become invalid, leaving you on the hook even for repairs that were caused by a manufacturing defect.
