How We Approach AC Tune-Ups

Air Professionals Heating & Air Conditioning will give your AC unit a full comprehensive inspection, looking out for any signs of trouble. Our Technicians will test the voltage, inspect belts, ducts, vents and check and test refrigerant levels. We will examine the drainage lines and also lubricate any parts that may need grease.

Our experts will test the thermostat and inspect the blower motor to ensure proper efficiency. We will also clean various parts like the compressor, condenser, evaporator coils, air handler, and drainage line.

Our Comprehensive Air Conditioner Maintenance Checklist:

• Change the Filter. A dirty or clogged filter makes your air conditioner work much harder than a clean filter does. By regularly changing your filter, you minimize the burden on your system and lower your utility bill.
• Clean the Condenser Coil. Our Techs will make sure your coils and fins are kept clean. Over time debris can accumulate around your unit and cause your unit to overwork itself. We will lightly brush the fins and give the coils a light wash.
• Adjust Your Thermostat. We will help pre-program your programmable thermostat to match your schedule to ensure a lower utility bill each month. Optimizing your system’s usage will maximize its life in the long term.
• Inspect Ductwork. Our technicians will perform a visual inspection of your ductwork to be sure it is sealed correctly. The ductwork that is not sealed properly will have cool air escape before being distributed through your home. This causes the set temperature not to reach and can overwork your system.
• Check Refrigerant Pressures and Charges. Low levels indicate a leak that needs to be found and repaired immediately. Low refrigerant levels can burn out your compressor, resulting in the most costly repair.
• Check Electric Connections. We will check and test all electrical components and controls to make sure everything is properly working.
• Ensure the Condensate Drain is Clear. Over time, algae and mold can build up and potentially plug the drain. A plugged drain can cause damage by flooding, or if the system has a drain float, this will shut the system down to avoid flooding.
• Blower Motor Inspection. Performing an amp-draw test on the blower motor. A motor that is drawing too many amps may be about ready to fail completely.
• Lubricate Motors and Bearings. Grease is the lifeblood of motors and bearings that prevents the harsh metal to metal contact between the different parts. This will ensure longer motor and compressor life span.
• Exterior AC Unit. Our Technicians will remove foliage and debris that could reduce ideal airflow that will make your air condition system work harder and cost you money.

HVAC problems never happen at convenient times. Regular maintenance helps you avoid them while prolonging the system’s life.
