It can be a cause for concern when your AC unit starts to make strange sounds. Before you go replacing it, you may want to consider having it tuned up first. Sometimes all that the unit needs is some care before it is up and running again. Ask your technician to do a thorough inspection and figure out what the problem is.
Air conditioning units typically last about 10 years before they need to be replaced, and they should be serviced once a year to keep them running for as long as possible. Of course, if your unit has not reached the 10-year mark, have a professional take a look at it before you spend the money to replace it.
From optimizing cooling efficiency to extending the lifespan of your system, our comprehensive tune-up will leave you feeling the difference.

We have never dealt with a better heating and cooling company.Kammy McClenaghan2022-11-22Called and received same day service, that was a surprise, I figured I would have to wait considering its “that time of year.” I was excited to at the prompt service and was given a narrow time if day so I didn’t have to wait at home all day. Dale serviced the system and was a professional. He explained in general terms (so I could understand) what was wrong and what he did to repair. He explained the cost and talked about a maintenance program. Overall a good experience.

An AC tune-up is a maintenance service provided by HVAC professionals to ensure your air conditioning system runs efficiently and effectively. It includes inspection, cleaning, and the adjustment of all the parts and components in your air conditioning system. The tune-up should be conducted once per year to avoid costly repairs and breakdowns during hot summer months.
During an AC tune-up, an HVAC professional will inspect the various components of your air conditioning system, including the thermostat, electrical connections, evaporator coils, and blower motor. They will clean and lubricate the parts and replace the air filter if necessary, and will also check the refrigerant level and adjust it if required. The AC tune-up will ensure that your air conditioning system runs efficiently and effectively, saving you money on energy bills.
Regularly changing air filters, keeping the system clean, ensuring proper ventilation, using air purifiers, and controlling humidity levels can help maintain good indoor air quality.
The best time to get an AC tune-up is before the summer months arrive. Spring is the perfect season to schedule a tune-up, as it ensures that your air conditioning system runs correctly and is prepared for the summer heat. Additionally, scheduling maintenance and tune-ups during the off season can help save money, as HVAC companies tend to have more availability during this period.
Absolutely, the cost of a tune-up is significantly lower than the potential costs of repairs, energy waste, and premature system replacement.
