What an AC tune-up checks

A tune-up looks for small problems before they cause a breakdown. The contractor you are connected with walks through the system and checks the following:

  • Thermostat settings and controls.
  • Airflow, the filter, and blower operation.
  • Electrical parts such as the capacitor and contactor.
  • The condensate drain line.
  • The outdoor coil and clearance around the unit.
  • Temperature readings across the system.

Why schedule a tune-up

What a tune-up can help you avoid

Surprise breakdowns

Worn electrical parts and clogged drains are often found before they stop the system.

Weak airflow

A dirty filter or coil can reduce cooling long before the system fails.

Water problems

A clogged drain line can cause water around the indoor unit. A check can catch it early.

A clear picture

You get the contractor's findings in plain language, so you can decide what to do next.

When to schedule a tune-up

The best time is spring, before the first long stretch of hot days. Contractors are usually less busy, and small problems get fixed before the system has to run all afternoon.

If your system hasn't been checked in more than a year, or it's already struggling in early summer, it's worth booking a visit now rather than waiting for a breakdown.

What you can do between visits

  • Check the filter every month during the summer and replace it when it looks gray or clogged.
  • Keep about two feet of clear space around the outdoor unit. Trim plants and clear out leaves and grass clippings.
  • With the power off, rinse dirt off the outdoor coil with a garden hose. Don't use a pressure washer.
  • Keep supply vents and return grilles open and unblocked.
  • While the system runs, check that the condensate line outside is dripping steadily.

Signs a tune-up is overdue

  • The system runs longer than it used to before it reaches the set temperature.
  • Some rooms stay noticeably warmer than others.
  • Your electric bill has climbed with no change in how you use the AC.
  • You hear new noises when the unit starts or stops.
  • You see water or ice where there wasn't any before.

Getting more years out of an older system

Maintenance won't make an old system new, but it keeps small problems from turning into big ones. On older equipment, a tune-up is a good time to ask the contractor about the condition of the coils, the electrical readings on the compressor and fan motor, and any signs of a refrigerant leak.

That gives you time to plan for a replacement on your schedule, instead of being forced into one on the hottest week of the year.

Homeowner questions

AC Tune Up Burleson: Questions Homeowners Ask

How often should I have an AC tune-up?

Ask the contractor how often they recommend service for your system, based on its age, how hard it runs, and what they find.

Is a tune-up the same as a repair?

No. A tune-up checks and maintains a system that is working. A repair fixes a specific problem that has already appeared.

What should I do before the contractor arrives?

Note the thermostat setting, check whether the filter is clean if you can do so safely, and write down any noises or water you have seen.

Will a tune-up fix my AC if it isn't cooling?

A tune-up can find the cause of weak cooling. If a part needs replacing, the contractor will explain the repair before any work begins.
