Most of the emergency calls we get during the first heat wave of the year are for problems a spring tune-up would have caught: a capacitor reading half its rating, a drain line full of algae, a coil caked with cottonwood fluff. Twenty minutes of prevention beats a Saturday night without air.
Spring cooling tune-up
- Clean the outdoor condenser coil and check the fan
- Test capacitors, contactor and electrical connections
- Measure refrigerant pressures, superheat and subcooling
- Flush the condensate drain and check the safety switch
- Check airflow, filter and temperature split
Fall heating tune-up
- Inspect burners, igniter and flame sensor
- Check the heat exchanger and venting
- Carbon monoxide test at supply registers
- Test safety limits and the pressure switch
- Heat pump defrost and auxiliary heat check
One visit or the Comfort Club
You can book a single tune-up any time. If you want both seasons covered, priority when something breaks and a discount on repairs, the Comfort Club maintenance plan bundles it. Members who do need an AC repair skip the line in a heat wave.
