A well-maintained system ensures your system runs efficiently, reducing energy consumption and keeping repair costs at bay.

5 Benefits of an AC and Furnace Tune-up

What’s Included in an HVAC tune-up?

Whether you need an AC tune-up to prep for the scorching summer months or a furnace tune-up to stay cozy through frosty winter nights, both will ensure your system is ready for whatever the calendar throws at you. Here’s what it includes:

1. Cleaning or replacing air filters: Spring breezes and fall leaves bring allergens and dust into your home. Clean filters ensure optimal airflow and improved air quality.
2. Checking thermostat settings: Whether fine-tuning for perfect summer cool or winter warmth, your tech will calibrate your thermostat to keep temperatures just right.
3. Inspecting electrical connections:  Technicians check and secure connections to prevent malfunctions and keep your system safe.
4. Lubricate moving parts: Key moving parts like motors and fans are lubricated to minimize friction, reduce wear, and improve efficiency.
5. Checking for leaks: A tech inspects refrigerant lines and ducts for leaks that could compromise performance or increase energy costs.
6. Examining drain lines: Drain lines are inspected and cleared to prevent clogs, which could lead to water damage or system inefficiency.
7. Testing airflow: Technicians go room-to-room to ensure airflow is balanced and consistent throughout your home.
8. Cleaning components: Seasonal changes can bring debris and grime. Cleaning components like electrical connections and burners keep your system running like clockwork.
