Regular AC tune-ups are one of the most effective ways to keep your cooling system running efficiently throughout Virginia’s hot and humid summers. If you’ve scheduled a service but aren’t sure what the visit will include, here’s a breakdown of what to expect, assuming you hire a qualified AC maintenance service.
Initial System Inspection
We always start with a full system inspection. This includes checking both the indoor and outdoor components of your AC unit. We’ll look for signs of wear, corrosion, or anything that could cause issues down the line. Our team evaluates overall system performance and takes note of anything out of the ordinary.
Cleaning Essential Components
Dirt and debris can build up inside your system and reduce efficiency. During the tune-up, we’ll clean the condenser coils, evaporator coils, and blower components. Clean coils make it easier for your system to cool your home while using less energy.
Testing System Functions
We test the thermostat calibration, check refrigerant levels, and verify proper airflow. We’ll also inspect and tighten electrical connections, test capacitors and relays, and check for potential electrical hazards. Each of these steps helps maintain safe and reliable operation.
Checking the Air Filter and Ductwork
While replacing the air filter might seem like a small detail, it has a big impact on system performance. We check the filter and replace it if needed. We’ll also take a look at accessible ductwork for any visible signs of leaks or damage that could impact airflow.
Providing Recommendations
Once everything has been inspected and tested, we’ll share our findings with you. If we identify parts that are worn or close to failing, we’ll let you know and offer straightforward guidance on what to do next. The goal is to help you stay ahead of breakdowns and keep your AC running smoothly.
