FAQs
Why should I schedule a preseason AC tune-up in Bean Station?
Summers in Bean Station can be hot and humid, so your air conditioner works hard for several months straight. A preseason tune-up ensures that refrigerant levels, electrical components, airflow, and safety controls are all in peak condition before the first heat wave hits. This not only helps your system cool more effectively, it can lower energy bills by up to 15 %, prevent 80 % of unexpected breakdowns, and extend the equipment’s life by several years.
What does your preseason tune-up service include?
Our certified technicians follow a 20-plus-point checklist that covers: • Checking refrigerant charge and inspecting for leaks • Cleaning the outdoor condenser coil and indoor evaporator coil (when accessible) • Inspecting and tightening electrical connections • Measuring voltage, amperage, and capacitor health • Testing thermostat calibration and cycling system • Lubricating moving parts and inspecting the blower assembly • Flushing the condensate drain and adding algae tablets • Replacing or cleaning the air filter • Verifying correct airflow and temperature split • Providing a written report with any recommendations.
How much does an AC tune-up typically cost in Bean Station?
For most residential systems, our preseason tune-up is a flat $89 per unit. This price includes all labor, standard cleaning, and a disposable 1-inch filter. If we detect issues that need repairs (e.g., a failed capacitor or low refrigerant), we’ll give you upfront pricing before any additional work is done. We also offer maintenance plans that bundle two tune-ups a year, priority service, and discounts on repairs.
How long will the tune-up take, and do I need to be home?
A thorough inspection and cleaning generally takes 60–90 minutes per outdoor unit. Someone 18 or older does need to be home to give the technician access to the thermostat, indoor coil, and electrical panel. If you can’t be present for the whole visit, we can call or text 30 minutes before we finish so you can review the technician’s findings in person or virtually.
Isn’t a tune-up the same as a repair call?
No. A preseason tune-up is a preventive service designed to keep your AC running smoothly and efficiently. Repairs are reactive—they address a component that has already failed or is about to fail. By investing in a tune-up, you reduce the likelihood of emergency repairs during the hottest days, when parts are harder to find and service calls cost more.
When should I book my AC tune-up, and how do I schedule?
We recommend scheduling between March and early May, before daily highs in Bean Station regularly exceed 80 °F. This timing guarantees appointment flexibility and gives you a cushion to address any issues we uncover. Booking is easy: call our office, use our online scheduler, or send a text to our service line. Most appointments are available within three business days, and same-day service is often possible for maintenance plan members.
