How Often Do You Need an AC Tune-Up?

Published

Everyone needs their air conditioner to work during the hotter months to stay safe and comfortable at home. When it comes to cooling your home, schedule annual maintenance for your HVAC system to extend its life and performance. Here are some tips on AC tune-ups you’ll want to know.

When Should You Schedule an AC Tune-Up?

You should schedule AC tune-ups once a year to keep it running smoothly. Once a year is enough for system maintenance. Typically, AC maintenance is best suited for the spring. That way, HVAC technicians can check the cooling system before the summer season to ensure everything works properly.

HVAC Tune-Up Checklist

When you hire an HVAC company to check the air conditioner, they’ll perform a wide range of services, like

  • Inspect the outdoor AC unit and the area around it. Check for refrigerant leaks in the condenser coils, evaporator coils, and refrigerant lines.
  • Replace the air filter to improve air quality.
  • Lubricate the blower motor and check the fan belt.
  • Clean the condenser lines.
  • Check all electrical connections.

HVAC technicians have the tools, onsite experience, and skills to perform these tune-ups fast and efficiently. You’ll have peace of mind knowing your HVAC system works with lower utility bills to match!

What Our Customers
Say About Us

We moved into a new house recently and Allied was recommended to us by my best friend.

We had them install a new humidifier and zone the system. On moving day (Friday) at 3 pm when we showed up we found the AC wouldn't shut off. I texted my tech with hopes of getting on the schedule for the following week since it was late Friday. He said someone would be there in 30 min. They stayed for 2 hours and fixed a faulty wire and it was all covered under warranty. Can't argue with customer service like that. Highly recommend if you want dependable folks that are very responsive.

We were extremely pleased by the service that Allied provided us.

Our A/C went out over the 4th of July we knew we needed a new system installed asap (we knew it was on its last leg). We contacted them and two other companies for comparison quotes. Allied was out here first thing July 5th to assess and provide a quote. In the end we decided to go with them. They were professional, thorough and very detailed in options and quotes.

Moved into the neighborhood and Allied HVAC had been recommended from my brother to replace both our furnace and ac unit.

Very professional from the start with a quote from Chris B. in sales which lead to an install date of my choice. On the day of the installation Jeff and Jackson arrived right on time as requested. The installation was prompt and done in a timely matter, and it they explained exactly what needed to be done from start to finish.
