ac tune upBefore Fairfield County gets hot and humid, it’s smart to schedule a professional AC tune-up. Whether you’re calling the pros or doing a few DIY steps, this checklist will help make sure your system runs smoothly all summer long.

Why You Should Schedule an AC Tune-Up

Preventative maintenance helps avoid breakdowns, reduces energy bills, and extends your system’s lifespan — plus, it often keeps your warranty valid.

Your AC Tune-Up Checklist

✅ Change or clean air filters
Improves airflow and reduces strain on your system.

✅ Check thermostat settings
Make sure it’s set to “cool” and programmed correctly for the season.

✅ Inspect and clean evaporator coils
Dirty coils can block airflow and lower efficiency.

✅ Check refrigerant levels
Low refrigerant could indicate a leak and affect your system’s cooling ability.

✅ Clear debris from the outdoor unit
Leaves, grass, and dirt can block heat release.

✅ Test safety controls and electrical connections
Prevent hazards and ensure safe operation.

✅ Check and clean the condensate drain
A clogged drain can lead to leaks or moisture damage.

✅ Listen for unusual noises
Squealing, rattling, or banging may signal internal problems.

✅ Measure airflow and system performance
Ensure your unit is operating at full capacity.
