FAQs
Why is an annual air-conditioning tune-up important in Jellico’s climate?
Jellico experiences hot, humid summers and significant temperature swings in spring and fall. An annual AC tune-up cleans coils, checks refrigerant charge, and tests electrical components so your system can handle peak heat loads without over-working. This improves energy efficiency by 15-20 %, reduces the chance of midsummer breakdowns, extends equipment life, and keeps your utility bills lower during the long cooling season.
What does a routine heating & air tune-up service include?
A typical tune-up from our certified technicians covers: • Full system inspection (indoor & outdoor units) • Cleaning evaporator & condenser coils • Flushing the condensate drain line • Checking refrigerant pressure & looking for leaks • Tightening electrical connections • Testing capacitors, relays, blower motor & safety controls • Calibrating thermostat & verifying temperature split • Lubricating moving parts • Replacing or washing the air filter • Verifying correct airflow and duct static pressure. A written report with any repair recommendations is provided at the end.
How long does a standard AC tune-up appointment usually take?
Most residential tune-ups take 60–90 minutes. Larger homes with multiple systems or units that require extra coil cleaning can take up to two hours. We schedule convenient two-hour arrival windows, and you do not need to be without cooling for the entire visit—only while we’re testing or cleaning specific components.
Will a tune-up void my manufacturer’s warranty?
No. In fact, most manufacturers require documented annual maintenance to KEEP the warranty valid. Our technicians follow OEM guidelines, use approved gauges and cleaners, and log all findings on a service record you can show if a warranty claim ever arises.
Can a tune-up really lower my energy bills enough to pay for itself?
Yes. Dirty coils and low refrigerant can cause efficiency losses of 10–30 %. After cleaning and calibration, many Jellico homeowners see their summer electric bills drop by $15–$30 per month. With tune-ups priced around that same amount, the service typically pays for itself in just one cooling season while also preventing costlier repairs.
When is the best time to schedule AC maintenance in Jellico?
Early spring—March through mid-April—is ideal. You’ll beat the summer rush, enjoy flexible appointment times, and ensure the system is ready before temperatures climb. If you’ve missed spring, schedule as soon as possible; a tune-up will still add efficiency and reliability even mid-season.
