Thorough AC Tune-Up Services
The usual expected lifespan of an AC unit is 10-15 years, although it is possible for them to work for far longer than that. To get the best value out of your AC system, you’ll need to take good care of it. This means following a regular maintenance schedule.
Manufacturers recommend annual air conditioner maintenance to ensure:
- Good indoor air quality
- Safe electrical systems
- Proper thermostat calibration
- Energy-efficient operations
Our AC tune-up service covers the most common air conditioning issues. Our technicians will inspect the system, clean it thoroughly, and replace perishable components. They’ll also test the electrics and moving parts and, if necessary, can perform minor repairs as part of the visit. If they spot any more serious issues, they’ll explain them to you and lay out the options for repair or replacement based on what they’ve seen.
After the service visit, if the technician gives your AC system a clean bill of health, you can feel comfortable that it’s in good shape for the summer. Think of air conditioner maintenance as an investment in the health of the unit, just like a car’s service visit helps keep your vehicle safe and reliable on the roads.
