Summer Energy Savings

Many customers call during peak summer to schedule an A/C tune-up. While it is advised to get your air conditioner checked, suggested times are Fall and Spring. 

During this scheduled check, a technician should:

 

• Check for correct amount of refrigerant


• Test for refrigerant leaks using a leak detector


• Capture any refrigerant that must be evacuated from the system, instead of
  illegally releasing it to the atmosphere


• Check for and seal duct leakage in central systems


• Measure airflow through the evaporator coil


• Verify the correct electric control sequence and make sure that the heating
  system and cooling system cannot operate simultaneously


• Inspect electric terminals/clean and tighten connections


• Oil motors and check belts for tightness and wear


• Check the accuracy of the thermostat.
