AC Tune-Ups in Greater Houston

Houston summers put long hours of demand on residential cooling systems. A seasonal AC tune-up gives Houston Admiral an opportunity to inspect the system, identify developing problems and make sure the equipment is ready for heavier summer use. 

Why Schedule an AC Tune-Up?

An air conditioner can still be running while small problems are beginning to develop.

Routine maintenance gives a technician an opportunity to inspect the system before those issues become larger repairs or contribute to a cooling failure during the hottest part of the year.

An AC tune-up can also help identify airflow, electrical, mechanical or refrigerant-related concerns that may be affecting how the system operates.

What Happens During an AC Tune-Up?

Houston Admiral’s current maintenance process includes a comprehensive inspection of the cooling system.

The inspection may include checking areas such as:

Electrical Connections

Inspect and tighten connections and check component operation.

Mechanical operation

Check moving parts, motors, and system operation.

Refrigerant system

Check operating pressures and look for signs of leaks.

Thermostat

Verify settings and proper communication with the system.

Airflow

Inspect indoor and outdoor airflow and check for restrictions.

Condensate Drainage

Check drain line and drain pan for proper flow and signs of clogs.

Overall Condition

Evaluate general system condition and note any signs of abnormal wear.

Can AC Maintenance Prevent Breakdowns?

Routine maintenance cannot guarantee that an air conditioner will never fail. What it can do is provide an opportunity to find worn components, abnormal operating conditions and other developing issues before they result in an unexpected shutdown. That is especially valuable in Greater Houston, where air conditioning systems can operate for long periods during hot weather.

When Should You Schedule an AC Tune-Up?

Many homeowners schedule cooling maintenance before the heaviest part of summer so the system can be inspected before demand is at its highest.

The right maintenance schedule can also depend on the age of the equipment, how heavily it is used, its condition and manufacturer recommendations.

Houston Admiral’s current maintenance plan includes cooling and heating maintenance twice per year.

FAQ

How often should I have my AC serviced?

Many homeowners schedule AC maintenance once per cooling season. The appropriate schedule can vary based on equipment age, usage, condition and manufacturer recommendations.

What does an AC tune-up include?

An AC tune-up typically includes inspection of the system’s electrical, mechanical, airflow and refrigerant-related operation, along with other maintenance checks appropriate to the equipment. Houston Admiral’s current AC maintenance program includes a detailed cooling-system inspection.

Can an AC tune-up prevent every breakdown?

No. Maintenance cannot eliminate every possible failure, but it can help identify developing problems before they become larger or more expensive repairs.

Yes. Maintenance is designed to inspect the system before a failure occurs, not only after something feels wrong.
