So, you know you want to schedule an AC tune up, but now you need to know, what is covered during air conditioner maintenance? All professional heating and cooling companies typically check the same components and operations of your air conditioning unit. It is always a good idea to ask your AC company of choice what is covered during maintenance to ensure you’re getting a complete service.
Keeping your air conditioner in top shape ensures it runs efficiently, keeps your home comfortable, upholds any warranties, and helps prevent costly breakdowns. At Quality Comfort Home Services, our professional AC tune-ups include a comprehensive checklist to ensure your system is performing at its best. Here’s what we check during every AC maintenance visit:
1. Inspect the Filter
A dirty or clogged air filter can restrict airflow, making your system work harder and reducing efficiency. We check the filter and recommend replacement if necessary.
2. Check Thermostat Operations
Your thermostat is the control center of your AC system. We ensure it’s functioning correctly and accurately reading the temperature to maintain comfort and efficiency.
3. Check Electrical Connections
Loose or faulty electrical connections can lead to system malfunctions and even safety hazards. Our technicians inspect and tighten connections as needed.
4. Check the Blower Capacitor
A faulty blower capacitor can affect the performance of your system. We check its condition to ensure proper function.
5. Inspect Contactors
Contactors control the electrical flow to your AC components. We inspect them for any signs of wear or damage that could impact system performance.
6. Check Temperature Drop
We measure the temperature drop across the evaporator coil to ensure your system is cooling effectively.
7. Inspect Refrigerant Lines and Insulation
Refrigerant lines should be well-insulated and free from leaks to maintain efficiency. We inspect the lines and insulation for any issues.
8. Ensure the Outdoor Unit is Level and Draining Properly
If your outdoor unit isn’t level, it can cause unnecessary strain on the system. We also check for proper drainage to prevent water buildup.
9. Inspect the Outdoor Unit Coil
Damage or debris on the outdoor unit coil can restrict airflow and reduce efficiency. We check for any obstructions and make necessary adjustments.
10. Examine the Indoor Blower Motor and Blower Wheel
A properly functioning blower motor and wheel are essential for adequate airflow. We inspect them for dirt buildup and wear.
11. Examine the Outdoor Unit Blower
The outdoor blower helps release heat from your system. We ensure it’s operating correctly to keep your AC running smoothly.
12. Examine the Evaporator Coil
The evaporator coil plays a key role in cooling your home. We check for dirt, dust, or damage that could impact performance.
13. Inspect the Condenser Coil and Provide Standard Cleaning
A clean condenser coil improves efficiency and system longevity. We inspect and perform a standard cleaning to remove any buildup. If the coil buildup is found to be excessive then we will recommend a chemical cleaning in place of standard cleaning.
