What’s An AC Tune-Up?
Just like your vehicle, your air conditioner needs regular maintenance and care to work properly.
Simply put, an AC tune-up is a routine maintenance service that helps ensure your system is running efficiently and effectively. Our tune-ups include an inspection, cleaning of key components and any necessary adjustments or small repairs.
What To Expect
An air conditioning tune-up from Action Furnace is the way to go to ensure performance and extend the lifespan of your AC. Here’s what you can expect when you hire us!
Evaluation
When you book your comprehensive AC tune-up one of our experienced cooling technicians will come to your home to begin the evaluation process.
During this time, your technician will carefully examine your air conditioner from top to bottom looking for signs of damage, electrical issues, strange smells, or leaks.
This evaluation will quickly give you the best tune-up options. You will then be presented with a quote specifically tailored to your needs.
Recommendation
Our technicians guarantee to deliver your recommendations on the spot.
All recommendations are thoroughly explained and consider your home's efficiency, power needs, ductwork and the area surrounding your AC unit that may be in need of maintenance.
Finally with Action Furnace’s No Surprise Guarantee the investment quoted is what you will pay. No additional charges during or after installation.
Tune-Up
Our air conditioner technicians are highly trained and qualified to ensure you get the best out of your AC system.
We will complete a full check of your AC, including:
- Complete multi-point inspection
- Refrigerant level checks
- Compressor fan and calibration
- Part lubrication.
Plus we measure your AC’s output to have a record to compare against for our next visit.
Tune-ups can take anywhere from 1-2 hours depending on the complexity of your system. But no matter the time frame our team is dedicated to providing you clean and respectful service and will complete your service with minimal interruption to your day to day life.
Benefits Of Regular Tune-Ups
Improved Efficiency
Regular tune-ups ensure that your air conditioning system runs at peak efficiency. Overtime debris and wear can cause it to work harder than it should to cool down your home.
When your AC runs efficiently, it uses less energy, resulting in lower utility bills, and savings for you!
Extended Lifespan
AC tune-ups also help prevent premature wear and tear. During your tune-up minor issues are identified and addressed before they become big problems that cause system breakdowns.
This proactive approach helps extend the lifespan of your equipment, delaying the need for costly replacements, and ensuring you get the most out of your investment.
Improved Air Quality
Your air conditioner also plays an important role in maintaining your air quality. Without regular tune-ups dirt, dust and debris will build up in your system overtime and circulate throughout your home.
A key component of our Action Furnace AC tune-ups is the replacement of air filters, checking for mold growth and checking that your system is circulating air properly.
Tune-ups go a long way towards a healthier living environment, especially for those with allergies or respiratory issues.
Reduced Repair Costs
Catching small issues early on greatly reduces repair costs down the road. And regular maintenance also helps prevent emergency repairs, which are more costly and of course, inconvenient.
More Consistent Comfort
A well-maintained air conditioner provides consistent and reliable comfort not just this summer, but for many summers to come!
Regular tune-ups make sure that your system is distributing air evenly, maintaining the desired temperature, and responds quickly to thermostat changes.
This consistency enhances your overall comfort, particularly during the summer months when your AC is working its hardest.
