HVAC Tune-Up: Everything Your HVAC Technician Should Do

HVAC Tune-Up: Everything Your HVAC Technician Should Do
Regular maintenance on your heating and air conditioning unit is especially important. Just like your car, your heating and cooling system is an intricate piece of equipment that gets a lot of “mileage”.

Over time, it encounters wear and tear with its many moving parts. Also, like your vehicle, your HVAC unit will not run at its best when it’s overlooked and worn down.

Our Aire Serv HVAC techs share all the details on system tune-ups so you are prepared when a licensed technician comes to your home.

Here are some of the most frequently asked tune-up questions from homeowners.

What Does HVAC Tune-up Include?

Generally speaking, our HVAC tune-ups include: inspections, cleanings, and repair services.

We're sure you're wondering: "does my HVAC need repairs"?

Great question - that is what we'll determine during your HVAC tune up. If we come across any issues, we'll review our recommendations with you.

Most common AC system tune-ups should include:

Evaluation of the coolant levels and ensuring there are no refrigerant leaks
Lubrication of all moving parts and tightening of all the electrical connections
A thorough cleaning of the system, including the condenser coils
Inspect contractor, capacitor, and condenser fan motor
Evaluate condition of blower belt and performance of blower motor
Flush condensate drain so it’s free of clogs

Increase the overall lifespan of the unit,
Increase your comfort level, and
Help your unit operate more efficiently.
