FAQs
Why does my air conditioner in Flintville need a seasonal tune-up?
Flintville’s hot, humid summers force your AC to run long cycles, which accelerates wear on motors, belts, and refrigerant lines. A seasonal tune-up cleans and lubricates these components, checks refrigerant charge, and verifies electrical safety. This not only restores lost efficiency—often 10–15%—but also helps the system cope with high outdoor temperatures and pollen levels common in our region.
What is included in your AC seasonal tune-up service?
Our certified technician will: 1) clean and straighten outdoor condenser coils, 2) flush the condensate drain, 3) test and top off refrigerant to factory specs, 4) tighten electrical connections and inspect the contactor, 5) measure motor amperage, 6) replace or wash the air filter, 7) calibrate the thermostat, and 8) run a full system performance test. You receive a printed report with recommendations when we’re done.
How often should I schedule an AC tune-up in Flintville’s climate?
Once a year is the industry standard, but in Flintville we recommend scheduling every spring—March or April—before average highs climb into the 80s. If you have pets, live on a gravel road, or suffer from allergies, consider a mid-season filter change and quick check in July as well.
Will a tune-up really lower my summer energy bills?
Yes. Dirty coils and low refrigerant make your compressor work harder, which can raise energy use by 5–30%. After cleaning and calibration, most customers see their SEER rating return to near-factory levels and notice immediate utility-bill savings—often enough to pay for the tune-up within one cooling season.
How long does a typical AC tune-up appointment take, and do I need to be home?
The visit usually takes 60–90 minutes. We do prefer someone 18 or older to be present so we can review findings and get approval for any minor repairs. If that’s impossible, we can access the unit with a lockbox code and email you photos and a digital report.
Can a tune-up help me avoid unexpected breakdowns during the Flintville heat?
Absolutely. More than half of the emergency calls we get in July and August are traced back to issues—loose wires, clogged drains, weak capacitors—that would have been caught during a spring tune-up. By identifying and fixing these small problems early, you drastically cut the odds of a costly mid-summer outage when parts are in high demand.
