FAQs
How often should I schedule maintenance for my air conditioner in Whitwell?
We recommend a professional tune-up at least once a year, ideally in early spring before the summer heat arrives. Whitwell’s warm, humid climate means your AC works hard for long stretches, and annual maintenance helps prevent mid-season breakdowns, keeps the warranty valid, and maximizes efficiency. If you have pets, allergies, or an older system, a 6-month checkup may be beneficial to keep coils clean and airflow unobstructed.
What does your air conditioning maintenance service include?
Our comprehensive maintenance visit covers a 20-point inspection and tune-up: cleaning condenser and evaporator coils, checking refrigerant charge, tightening electrical connections, testing capacitors and contactors, lubricating motors, clearing the condensate drain, replacing or washing the air filter, measuring airflow and static pressure, verifying thermostat calibration, and assessing overall system performance. We provide a written report with any findings so you can make informed decisions before small issues become costly repairs.
Can routine maintenance really lower my energy bills?
Yes. Studies by the U.S. Department of Energy show that a well-maintained AC can operate up to 20% more efficiently than a neglected system. Cleaning coils improves heat transfer, correct refrigerant levels reduce compressor run time, and fresh filters ease airflow resistance. In Whitwell, where air conditioners often run 10–12 hours a day during peak summer, those efficiency gains translate into noticeable monthly savings and a smaller carbon footprint.
Do you service all brands and models of AC units?
Absolutely. Our technicians are factory-trained and EPA-certified to work on every major brand, including Trane, Carrier, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, and Mitsubishi mini-splits, as well as older or less common models. We stock universal parts on our trucks and have quick access to manufacturer-specific components through local suppliers, ensuring same-day fixes for most issues discovered during maintenance.
Is there a benefit to signing up for a maintenance plan?
Joining our Priority Comfort Plan locks in two precision tune-ups per year, 15% off any repairs, priority scheduling—even during heat-wave emergencies—and no overtime fees. Members also receive transferable agreement coverage if you sell your home in Whitwell, boosting property value. The plan typically pays for itself through energy savings, extended equipment life, and avoided breakdowns.
How much does a standard AC tune-up cost, and are there any hidden fees?
A single, stand-alone tune-up is $99 for most residential systems in Whitwell, with no trip or diagnostic charges added. The price includes labor, basic cleaning supplies, and a standard 1-inch pleated filter. If the inspection reveals a part that needs replacement, we give you a flat, up-front quote before any additional work is done—no surprises, no hidden fees.
