Why it’s more than just a quick inspection—and how it saves you money.
Regular HVAC maintenance is one of the smartest investments you can make for your home. Homeowners often search for “fix central AC,” “24-hour heating and cooling,” or “HVAC emergency repair” when problems strike—but you can avoid many of those issues with a simple seasonal HVAC tune-up.
At Jack Frost Heating and Air Conditioning, we recommend a tune-up every spring and fall to keep your system running smoothly. But what exactly happens during that visit? Let’s break it down.
🔧 1. Full System Inspection
Our technician examines your entire heating or cooling system, including:
-
Air handler and blower motor
-
Condenser and evaporator coils
-
Electrical connections and wiring
-
Ductwork and airflow
We check for wear, damage, corrosion, or anything that could cause a breakdown later.
🧪 2. Test and Measure Key Components
We use professional tools to:
-
Measure capacitor performance
-
Check refrigerant levels (especially in modern systems using R-32 or R-454 refrigerants)
-
Test thermostat accuracy
-
Inspect amp draw on motors to catch failing components early
🧼 3. Clean and Clear
Dust, pollen, pet hair, and debris can reduce system efficiency and airflow. Your tune-up includes:
-
Cleaning outdoor coils
-
Flushing the condensate drain line
-
Removing debris from around your outdoor condenser to allow it to “breathe” properly
-
Checking air filters and replacing if needed
💨 4. Airflow and Duct Check
Restricted airflow leads to poor performance and higher energy bills. We ensure:
-
All vents are open and unblocked
-
Ducts are intact and sealed
-
No obstructions around the AC condenser (which can cause overheating)
🧯 5. Safety Inspection
We also make sure your HVAC system is safe:
-
Check for gas leaks
-
Test for carbon monoxide (especially with gas furnaces)
-
Inspect electrical panels for overheating
💰 Why It Matters
Skipping maintenance can lead to:
-
Shortened system lifespan
-
Emergency AC or furnace repair
-
Higher utility bills
-
Voided manufacturer warranties
But a well-maintained system means:
-
Lower energy costs
-
Better performance
-
Fewer surprises on hot or cold days
