The rising cost of living doesn’t show signs of stopping, and many Alberta homeowners are looking for ways to stay cool without breaking the bank. We’ve previously written a blog about how neglecting furnace maintenance will not result in cost savings, and the same rings true for your home’s cooling systems.
Routine AC tune-ups offer long-term financial benefits by lowering your energy costs during the peak summer months.
In today’s blog our experienced tune-up team will go over how regular maintenance boosts efficiency and helps save you money. Plus we’ll go in depth on our industry-leading maintenance process, so you’ll know exactly what to expect when you call us in.
Action Furnace has been Calgary, Red Deer and Edmonton’s trusted leader in air conditioning tune-up services since 1975. AC maintenance appointments start at just $199, book online today!
Why AC Efficiency Matters
Summer in Alberta is truly unique. Fluctuating temperatures, surprise storms and long stretches of 30 degrees can result in increased AC usage, and even wreak havoc on your air conditioner’s components.
Even the smallest of inefficiencies can lead to a high energy bill at the end of the month. So it’s important to not just leave it and hope for the best.
How an Action Furnace Tune-Up Improves Air Conditioner Performance
At Action Furnace, our team sets the standard for air conditioning maintenance in Alberta. Our attention to detail ensures your AC is set up for success, saving you up to 12% on your monthly energy bills.
The cooling maintenance team is highly trained to ensure you get the best out of your equipment. The Action Furnace exclusive service includes:
- Thermostat and filter inspection
- Evaporator coil cleaning
- Fan speed check and calibration
- Inspection of all drain lines
- Capacitor check and motor amp draw
- Ensure proper subcool and superheat settings
- Refrigerant level checks
Each step works together to achieve component harmony and superior cooling performance.
Once your air conditioner tune-up is complete, we’ll make recommendations to further increase efficiency and indoor air quality, which could include adding a humidifier, or even upgrading your air conditioner to a newer, more efficient model.
Other Cost Savings
In addition to energy savings, a regular tune-up is a great way to prevent surprise, and often costly, repairs and full system replacements.
Professional maintenance is also often a requirement in keeping your AC warranty valid. Without your warranty you’re on the hook for the bill if something goes wrong.

When & How Often Should You Book Your Tune-Up For Maximum Savings?
A spring AC tune-up is recommended to maximize savings when the temperatures rise. Being proactive with your maintenance ensures little issues are addressed before the heavy workload begins. We also recommend scheduling a tune-up at least once a year to ensure effectiveness. Even if your home cooling system didn’t cause any problems this summer, it doesn’t mean it will continue running optimally.

Frequently Asked Questions About Air Conditioning Maintenance
Should I replace my air filters?
In order to maintain air flow and overall cooling performance, you must replace your furnace filters at least every 3 months. If your AC isn’t working as well as it should, a dirty filter could be the culprit. When you sign up for an Action Furnace Cooling Comfort Club membership, you’ll get a yearly supply of air filters to make replacements quick and easy.
When is the best time for an air conditioning tune-up?
The best time for an air conditioning tune-up is before the heavy workload of summer starts. Give Action Furnace a call during the Spring, and we’ll make sure your AC is set up for max performance and efficiency once the temperatures start to climb.
How do I know if my air conditioner’s refrigerant is low?
Look for these common signs of low refrigerant:
- Hissing or bubbling sounds coming from the unit
- Ice buildup on the refrigerant lines
- Lack of cooling or struggling to reach temperature in the home
During your AC tune-up, your technician will always take the time to check your refrigerant levels.
Can I do air conditioning maintenance myself?
While simple tasks such as replacing your air filters can be done on your own, we don’t recommend going any farther than that. Your air conditioner’s components are delicate and can be easily damaged if you don’t know what you’re doing. In addition to damage, DIY maintenance can actually void your warranty, meaning you’re on the hook for emergency repairs or system replacements.
