What Does an Air Conditioning Service Tune-up Actually Involve?

EnergyStar.gov says that a typical maintenance check-up for your air conditioning unit should include the following (and we do too):

  • Check thermostat operation to ensure comfortable cooling.
  • Tighten all electrical connections and measure voltage and current on motors. Faulty connections can cause unsafe operation and reduce the life of major components.
  • Lubricate all moving parts, which can cause friction and increase use of electricity.
  • Check and inspect the condensate drain. A plugged drain can cause water damage and affect indoor humidity levels and cause an AC breakdown.
  • Check controls of the system to ensure proper and safe operation. Check the starting cycle of the equipment to assure the system starts, operates and shuts off properly.
  • Clean evaporator and condenser air conditioning coils. Dirty coils reduce the system’s ability to cool your home and cause the system to run longer, increasing energy costs and reducing the life of the equipment.
  • Check your cooling refrigerant level and adjust if necessary.
  • Clean and adjust blower components to provide proper system airflow for greater comfort levels. Airflow problems can reduce your system’s efficiency by up to 15 percent.

Lastly, if your ac-furnace is dirty what are your air ducts like? Open an air vent. Use a wet, white paper towel and wipe ductwork to see exactly how dirty. PDM can clean your air ducts too.
