FAQs
What exactly is an energy-saving air-conditioning tune-up?
A tune-up is a preventive maintenance visit during which our certified technicians clean, test, and calibrate every major component of your cooling system. We remove dirt from indoor and outdoor coils, check refrigerant charge, tighten electrical connections, lubricate moving parts, verify thermostat operation, flush the condensate line, and measure system airflow and temperature split. These steps restore the unit to peak operating efficiency, reduce wear, and help the system use less electricity to keep your Coalmont home comfortable.
How often should I schedule a tune-up for my AC system in Coalmont?
For most homes we recommend a professional tune-up once a year, ideally in early spring before the Tennessee heat arrives. If you run your unit almost year-round, have pets that shed heavily, or live near dirt roads or construction, a mid-season check in late summer can add extra protection. Furnaces and heat pumps should receive their own tune-up in the fall, but the air-conditioning portion normally needs just one comprehensive visit per cooling season.
How much can an energy-saving tune-up actually lower my electric bills?
According to ENERGY STAR, a clean, properly charged system can use 5–15 % less energy than one that is dirty or out of adjustment. In practical terms, many Coalmont homeowners report summertime savings of $10–$30 per month—sometimes more on larger homes or older equipment. Over the life of the system, the tune-up typically pays for itself several times over through lower power usage, fewer emergency repairs, and a longer equipment lifespan.
What is included in your Coalmont AC tune-up service?
Our 20-plus-point checklist covers everything needed to restore efficiency and ensure safe operation: • Deep cleaning of indoor evaporator and outdoor condenser coils • Refrigerant level check and top-off (if required) • Inspection and tightening of all electrical connections and contacts • Amp-draw and capacitor testing for the compressor and fan motors • Thermostat calibration and cycle test • Airflow measurement and basic duct-leak inspection • Lubrication of applicable bearings • Condensate drain flush and algae treatment • Replacement of the standard 1-inch filter (or cleaning of reusable filter) • Written efficiency report with any repair recommendations
Will a professional tune-up keep my manufacturer’s or home-warranty coverage in force?
Yes. Most equipment manufacturers—and virtually all extended home warranties—require documented annual maintenance by a licensed HVAC contractor. Our technicians log model and serial numbers, record refrigerant pressures, and note all readings on a signed service report you can keep for your records. If you ever need to file a warranty claim, this paperwork shows that the system has been maintained according to the manufacturer’s specifications.
Are there any local rebates or specials available for Coalmont residents?
Often there are. The Tennessee Valley Authority’s EnergyRight program periodically offers rebates for high-efficiency HVAC upgrades and for tune-ups performed by Quality Contractor Network members like us. In addition, we run seasonal promotions—such as reduced-price spring tune-ups or discounted service-agreement plans—that bundle the heating and cooling visits together. Ask our office when you schedule; we’ll apply any current TVA or manufacturer incentives and let you know about tax credits or financing that may further reduce your cost.
