What’s Included in an AC Tune-Up
When our technicians arrive for your AC tune-up, they perform a thorough, multi-point inspection designed to catch small issues before they become big ones. A typical tune-up includes:
- Full system inspection. We check electrical connections, controls, and safety switches to make sure everything is operating as it should.
- Cleaning coils. Dirty evaporator and condenser coils make your system work harder and less efficiently; we clean them to help restore proper heat transfer.
- Checking refrigerant levels. Low refrigerant can mean reduced cooling and added strain on your compressor; we check levels and look for signs of leaks.
- Testing system performance. We test your system’s overall operation, including airflow, temperature differential, and thermostat function, to confirm it’s performing the way it should.
How Often Should You Schedule Maintenance?
For most Northern Colorado homes, we recommend scheduling AC maintenance once a year, ideally in the spring, before the summer heat arrives. This timing gives our technicians a chance to catch and address any issues before your system is working its hardest.
If your system gets heavy use, is older, or you also have a heat pump that runs cooling and heating year-round, a twice-a-year schedule (spring and fall) can offer added peace of mind and help your system perform at its best in every season.
