WHY AN AIR CONDITIONING 

TUNE-UP IS A GOOD IDEA?

If you’ve ever wondered whether an AC Tune Up  is 
really necessary, ask yourself these questions:

•   Would you like to save money on energy costs? 
•    Are you looking for a way to help your expensive air conditioning equipment last longer? 
•    Are you interested in improving your ac system’s performance and efficiency? 
•    Have you ever wished that you could help prevent costly and inconvenient air conditioning breakdowns?
•    Do you want to protect your family with better air conditioning safety?
•    Is comfort important in your home?

If you are like most homeowners, the answer to all these questions is a resounding yes.  Fortunately, regular hvac tune-ups can bring you all these benefits, and more.  According to www.energystar.gov, a yearly tune-up of your heating and cooling system can improve efficiency and comfort and pre-season check-ups can prevent future problems and unwanted costs.  

While there are certainly some steps that you can and should take to maintain your air conditioning system, such as regularly changing or cleaning the filters, it’s best to leave the tune-up process to a qualified hvac professional.  A trained air conditioning specialist can troubleshoot for potential problems while performing the necessary checks and maintenance activities.  A professional contractor will also be familiar with your particular brand and model, and may be able to offer specific suggestions for optimum operational efficiency.  

During a complete air conditioning Tuen Up you should expect the specialist to: 

•    Inspect coolant levels and pressure
•    Calibrate thermostat(s) and check proper cycle and temperature
•    Inspect and tighten wiring, contacts, capacitors and relay
•    Ensure the evaporator coil is clean
•    Ensure the condensate drain is clear
•    Inspect and clean the condenser

Why hire a licensed contractor?

• The Contractors State License Board (CSLB) protects consumers by licensing and regulating California’s construction industry. Think about it, if you hire a non-licensed contractor you have no protection as a consumer. The person you hire may not be insured, bonded and may not know what he is doing.
• Anyone in California that is performing construction work, which totals $500 or more in labor and materials must be licensed by the Contractors State License Board.
• Must demonstrate at least 4 years of experience/education in the trade
• Must be bonded
• Unlicensed contractors do not pay taxes, insurance, or follow safety laws

The most important take-away is your piece of mind. We encourage you to work with licensed contractor to protect yourself and help those contractors who are honest and licensed.
