FAQs
How often should I schedule routine air-conditioning maintenance in Rogersville?
For the climate in Rogersville, we recommend scheduling professional AC maintenance once a year, ideally in early spring before the cooling season starts. Annual service allows us to clean the system, check refrigerant levels, inspect electrical components, and make minor adjustments so your unit can handle the region’s hot, humid summers. If you have pets, allergies, or run the system year-round, a mid-season filter change and visual checkup are also advisable.
What does your routine AC maintenance service include?
Our comprehensive tune-up covers: 1) cleaning or replacing the air filter; 2) washing the evaporator and condenser coils for better heat transfer; 3) clearing the condensate drain to prevent water damage and mold; 4) checking refrigerant charge and inspecting for leaks; 5) tightening electrical connections, measuring voltage/amperage, and testing capacitors and contactors; 6) lubricating moving parts; 7) verifying thermostat operation and recalibrating if needed; and 8) running a complete system performance test to ensure proper airflow, temperature split, and safe operation.
Will routine maintenance really lower my energy bills?
Yes. A clean, well-tuned system can operate up to 15–20% more efficiently than a neglected one. Dirty coils, clogged filters, and low refrigerant force the compressor and blower to work harder, consuming extra electricity. Routine maintenance restores optimal airflow and heat exchange, reduces run times, and can save Rogersville homeowners an average of $100–$200 per cooling season, depending on usage and local utility rates.
How long does a maintenance visit take, and do I need to be home?
A standard residential maintenance visit lasts 60–90 minutes. If we discover an issue that requires repair, we’ll explain the findings and provide options before proceeding, which may add time. We prefer the homeowner (or an adult authorized decision-maker) to be present so we can review our checklist, discuss any concerns, and answer questions. However, if you have a keyed entry or smart lock, we can service the system in your absence with prior arrangement.
My AC seems to be running fine. Is maintenance still necessary?
Absolutely. Many AC problems—including low refrigerant, weak capacitors, or a partially clogged drain—develop quietly and don’t show symptoms until a major failure occurs on a 95°F day. Routine maintenance detects and corrects these issues early, preventing unexpected breakdowns, costly emergency repairs, and shortened equipment life. Manufacturers also require documented annual maintenance to keep most warranties valid.
Do you service all brands and types of air conditioners in Rogersville?
Yes. Our certified technicians are trained to maintain and repair all major brands—Trane, Carrier, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, York, and more—as well as ductless mini-splits, heat pumps, and packaged rooftop units. We keep a wide range of OEM and universal parts on our service trucks, enabling us to complete most maintenance and minor repairs on the same visit, regardless of equipment make or model.
