Air Conditioner Tune-Up

AC Maintenance Keeps Bigger Repairs at Bay

An AC tune-up can prevent issues with your HVAC system by ensuring that every component is clean and works as intended.

One key benefit of regular air conditioner maintenance is that we can catch issues early. Our experienced technicians can spot signs of wear and tear and replace a part before it fails, preventing more extensive repairs that might require an emergency service call.

Air conditioner tune-ups also extend the lifespan of your HVAC components. When ducts or filters get clogged with dust and debris, your HVAC system has to work harder to push the air through, resulting in unnecessary wear and tear on the moving parts.

Plus, tune-ups can help reduce your energy bills by ensuring your system runs smoothly and doesn’t have to use more power to push air through clogged ducts.

Ideally, you should have a Schwantes technician inspect your HVAC system once a year, but you might want to consider more frequent AC maintenance if you have an older unit.

What Is an Air Conditioner Tune-Up?

A tune-up is a comprehensive inspection of your HVAC system. Your HVAC technician can perform a visual inspection, test components, and use specialized equipment to measure performance or check for clogs.

Typically, an AC tune-up will include the following elements:

  • Checking coolant levels.
  • Cleaning the condenser coils on your HVAC unit.
  • Replacing filters if needed (customer must provide the filter). 
  • Check and clean drain lines. 
  • Testing electrical connections.
  • Checking the blower motor, fan blades, and other components for signs of wear and tear.
  • Administer overall system performance test.

After inspecting your HVAC system, your technician will share their findings with you. They might ask a few questions to assess your energy needs, recommend repairs to prevent further issues and share advice for AC maintenance.

If you have an older HVAC unit, your technician will also discuss the possibility of replacing it and help you weigh the pros and cons.

Performing a thorough inspection of your air conditioner ensures your technician can issue personalized recommendations and answer any questions you might have.
