12 Things You Should Expect in an AC Tune-Up
Spring has sprung and with it warmer temperatures. As it gets closer to summer, many will soon be relying on their air conditioners to keep them cool. So why should you schedule an appointment to have your unit serviced? It seems to be working fine. The answer is one simple word: maintenance. Proper maintenance is essential for any large piece of equipment with many moving parts. Think of your car. Experts always tout proper maintenance to keep your car running longer and more efficiently. Often repairs are much more expensive if maintenance is ignored. Gas mileage can slip, and resale value falls. Maintenance on your car or your AC system can stop problems before they arise saving you time, hassle and money.
What to Expect with a Spring AC Tune-Up
When you book a service call with Bill’s Heating & Air Conditioning, your AC will get the gold standard treatment. But what exactly does a spring tune-up include? The average consumer doesn’t know how their equipment works but knowing what should be checked is important. Routine maintenance should include all of the following:
Outside unit service
- Clean & inspect coils
- Inspect & adjust electrical fittings
- Check rotation & balance of fan blades
- Check & adjust refrigerant levels
- Check for code violations & remove debris
Inside unit service
- Inspect & clean drain lines
- Replace air filter
- Inspect & adjust electrical fittings
- Test all motors, controls & safety switches
- Check & adjust settings on fan motor
- Measure electrical consumption on all motors & compressors

Your HVAC Electrician Just Got Way Cooler
Keeping you cool all season long is Bill’s Heating & Air Conditioning’s goal. With unpredictable weather around every corner, making sure your HVAC systems are all working in tip-top shape is important. The best part is savings on your energy bills. Just like your car and gas mileage, when your HVAC system is properly maintained, it works more efficiently. Systems that are not cared for have to work harder year after year to achieve the cooling temperatures you prefer. The harder your AC unit works, the quicker it will run through its life cycle. Not only will you be paying more monthly on energy costs but with a shorter life span, a new unit will be needed sooner. Replacement is much more expensive than maintenance.
When you call on Bill’s to tune-up your AC this spring, years of knowledge and experience come with your technician. They service all makes and models, new and old. Respecting your home and time in a professional manner with an honest diagnosis is guaranteed. If your AC has multiple issues, your technician can help you work through what needs immediate attention and what can wait.
