FAQs
How often should I schedule a routine air-conditioning check-up in Bean Station?
For most homes and light-commercial spaces in Bean Station, we recommend a professional inspection and tune-up once a year—preferably in the spring before the cooling season begins. Annual maintenance keeps your unit efficient, reduces the chance of midsummer breakdowns, and protects manufacturer warranties that require documented service.
What does your routine A/C check-up include?
Our technicians perform a 20-plus-point inspection that covers: cleaning or replacing filters, checking refrigerant charge and pressures, tightening electrical connections, testing capacitors and contactors, clearing the condensate drain, lubricating moving parts, measuring temperature split, inspecting ductwork where accessible, and verifying thermostat calibration. We finish with a written report and any recommendations.
Why is preventive maintenance important if my air conditioner seems to be running fine?
Even a system that cools well can hide developing problems such as low refrigerant, dirty coils, or a failing capacitor. These issues cause higher energy bills and can shorten equipment life. A routine check-up catches small faults early, costs much less than an emergency repair, and helps you avoid discomfort during Bean Station’s hottest days.
Will a routine check-up lower my energy bills?
Yes. Cleaning coils, ensuring proper refrigerant levels, and tightening electrical components restore your unit to peak efficiency—often cutting cooling costs by 10–15 %. The service also identifies airflow restrictions or thermostat issues that may be wasting energy without your knowledge.
How long does the appointment take, and do I need to be home?
Most residential check-ups take 45–60 minutes. We ask that an adult be present to grant access to the indoor air handler, outdoor condenser, and thermostat. If you have a smart lock or other arrangements, let our office know when scheduling; we strive to be flexible.
What if the technician finds a problem during the check-up?
You’ll receive a clear explanation, photos when helpful, and upfront pricing before any repair work begins. Minor fixes (like adding refrigerant or replacing a capacitor) can usually be completed the same visit. For larger repairs, we’ll provide options, estimated timelines, and help you decide whether repair or system replacement offers the best long-term value.
