As temperatures begin climbing each spring, scheduling a professional AC tune-up helps ensure your system is ready to handle the demands of another Texas summer. Old Glory Air Conditioning and Heating walks through what typically happens during this important seasonal service visit.
Your technician will inspect the outdoor unit for any winter debris buildup, check that the area around the unit is clear for proper airflow, and examine the condition of the coil and fan components.
Over the fall and winter months, the outdoor condenser coil can accumulate dust, pollen, and debris. Cleaning this coil helps restore proper heat transfer efficiency before the cooling season places heavy demand on the system.
A spring tune-up includes verifying that refrigerant levels are within the manufacturer's specified range, since proper charge is essential for efficient cooling performance throughout the upcoming season.
Your technician will test capacitors, contactors, and other electrical components to confirm they're functioning properly and don't show early signs of wear that could lead to a breakdown during peak summer demand.
The indoor evaporator coil will be checked for cleanliness and proper function, since a dirty or damaged coil can significantly reduce cooling efficiency even if other components are working correctly.
Confirming your thermostat is accurately reading temperatures and properly communicating with your cooling system helps ensure your system responds correctly once you begin relying on it more heavily.
Your technician will inspect the blower motor and confirm proper airflow throughout your system, since restricted airflow can lead to reduced efficiency and potential ice buildup once the system is running consistently.
If your air filter needs replacement, your technician will typically handle this as part of the visit, ensuring your system starts the season with proper airflow and filtration.
Toward the end of the visit, your technician will run the system through a full cooling cycle to confirm everything is working together properly before you begin relying on it for the season ahead.
