What is Involved in an AC Tune-Up?

An air conditionerAn air conditioning unit is a multi-faceted piece of machinery that requires all parts to be working together cohesively. Regular maintenance is the key to increasing the longevity of your unit, including attention to all of the following components: 

  • Checking the thermostat to ensure proper calibration and functionality
  • Cleaning or replacing the air filter (a clogged air filter can cause air conditioner malfunction)
  • Inspection of the central motor
  • Inspection of the condensate drain and coils 
  • Lubrication of all components
  • Checking refrigerant to ensure proper pressure
  • Determining the functionality of fan blade, valves & ductwork
  • Examine compressors 
  • Measure temperatures of supply and return 

These points and many more are involved in a full and thorough AC tune-up, and malfunction in any one of these areas can cause catastrophic problems during the heat of Summer. 

Why a Tune-Up is Necessary

Replacement of an AC unit can run several thousand dollars for the average Orange County homeowner, and regular tune-ups can help avoid a full HVAC overhaul.

During our 32-point tune-up inspection, we look at not only the physical components of your AC unit but for the functionality as well.

Our technicians search for energy leaks and areas of energy loss – which ultimately cost money for the household. Further, we inspect units individually to uncover any major safety issues, including compromised wiring or air ducts. 

Overall, a regular AC tune-up can offer peace of mind in the searing heat of the summer – a time when temperatures easily reach into the triple-digits and can be extremely dangerous for anyone susceptible to extreme heat.
