What to Expect from an AC Tune-up
Your HVAC technician will perform a number of diagnostic tests and some general maintenance on your air conditioner, often called an AC tune-up. A GAC Services professional air conditioner tune-up will include:
- Lubrication of bearings and other moving parts as required
- Tightening loose fittings, connections, and components
- Cleaning or replacing your air filter as needed
- Inspecting and testing equipment, including the blower, evaporator coil, condenser coil compressor, and thermostat
- Inspect for leaking refrigerant
- Examine for indoor fluid leaks
At the end of the inspection and tune-up, the technician will provide a list of what was inspected, and the condition noted of every item on the list. They will also discuss any problems and issues with you to develop a correction plan.
Consider a Maintenance Agreement
Nothing replaces regular maintenance as the best preventive measure a homeowner can take to protect their air conditioning system. The peace of mind and cost savings on repair bills that a maintenance agreement provides is well worth the expense.
For example, the GAC Services Prime Maintenance Membership offers these benefits:
- Seasonal tune-ups
- Priority service
- Peak Performance Agreement customers diagnostic fees are reduced
- 20% off repairs
- 10% off electrical services
