If you haven’t already, now is the time to have your central air conditioning unit “tuned” up. We normally recommend a tune up in the spring before the summer heat, but now is better than never! Just like how you service a vehicle to keep it maintained and in tip-top shape, the same is recommended for your AC unit to keep it performing well. Now that the heat has hit, so have the many calls requesting for repairs. Did you know having your AC unit tuned up will actually save you money? It’s true. Not only will your AC unit run more efficiently, but it will prevent potential maintenance issues in the future. With our Comfort Agreement Plan, you will also receive the benefit of a 10% discount in the event your AC unit does need a repair. We frequently are asked what a tune-up for an air conditioning unit entails. Our cooling tune-up includes: 1. Check compressor amps/volts, capicitors 2. Monitor refrigerant pressures 3. Inspect refrigerant piping for vibration/rubbing 4. Inspect condenser foil for cleanliness 5. Inspect condition of outer cabinet and disconnect 6.
