What an HVAC Tune-Up Actually Includes

Regular maintenance is the single best way to extend equipment life, hold onto efficiency, and prevent the breakdowns that always seem to happen on the hottest or coldest day. A thorough tune-up should include:

• Inspecting and cleaning the coils and condensate drain
• Checking refrigerant charge and airflow
• Testing electrical connections, capacitors, and safety controls
• Inspecting the heat exchanger and combustion (heating season)
• Calibrating the thermostat and replacing or checking the filter

Why it pays off

Manufacturers often require documented annual maintenance to keep warranties valid, and a tuned system uses less energy and lasts years longer. Most homeowners schedule a tune-up in spring (before cooling season) and fall (before heating season).
