HVAC Tune-ups
An HVAC tune-up is a preventive maintenance service for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. During this process, a trained technician inspects, cleans, and adjusts various components of the HVAC system to ensure it operates efficiently and effectively.
The tune-up typically includes tasks such as checking and replacing air filters, cleaning coils and condensate drains, lubricating moving parts, tightening electrical connections, and calibrating thermostats. This routine maintenance helps improve energy efficiency, extend the lifespan of the equipment, prevent unexpected breakdowns, and maintain optimal indoor air quality.
What Is the Difference Between Tune-Ups and Maintenance?
Furnace or AC maintenance is usually performed on a monthly or regular basis as a preventative measure. A seasonal tune-up is performed twice per year in spring and fall. Preventative maintenance generally includes the following:
- Checking for oil leaks
- Shaft bearings and motor lubrication if required
- Checking for any unusual vibrations or noise
- Inspecting the thermostat
- Inspecting the compressor and checking operation pressures
- Servicing of the electric heat strips
- Inspecting all the wiring and electrical components and connections
- Cleaning the condenser coil
- Checking and evaluating all fan motors and compressors
- Testing and inspection of safety controls
What happens during a Furnace or AC Tune-up?
During a furnace or AC tune-up, we prepare your system for the change in weather from colder to warmer weather and warmer to colder by performing the following steps:
- Inspection of contacts, relays, wiring, and capacitors
- Making sure that the condensate drain is clear and free-flowing
- Checking if the evaporator coil is clean
- Cleaning the condenser if necessary
- Lubricating condenser fan motors and making sure blades are in good condition
- Checking the compressor amp on startup
- The Importance of Preventative Maintenance
Regular maintenance for your heating and cooling system is essential for optimal performance and cost savings. Skipping preventive maintenance may seem like a money-saver, but it’s actually counterproductive. Much like maintaining your car to avoid costly repairs down the road, your heating and cooling system benefits from these preventative measures to operate efficiently and cost-effectively.
Seasonal HVAC Tune-ups can Save you Money!
Regular seasonal HVAC tune-ups are crucial for preserving your system’s efficiency and extending its lifespan. We excel at recognizing and rectifying the wear and tear that naturally accumulates over time. This proactive approach plays a vital role in avoiding unforeseen breakdowns, sparing you from expensive repairs.
Furthermore, these regular tune-ups fine-tune your system’s performance, thereby reducing energy consumption. When your HVAC system functions optimally, it operates without unnecessary strain, translating to lower energy costs while ensuring a cozy home ambiance.
