What a tune-up covers

Cleaning the outdoor coil, checking the indoor coil, flushing and treating the condensate drain line, testing capacitors and contactors, tightening electrical connections, checking refrigerant pressures and airflow, and testing the thermostat.

How often

Many Florida homeowners have their system serviced at least once a year, often in spring before the heat builds. Homes near the coast, with pets or with heavy use may benefit from two visits.

Filters

Check the filter monthly during the cooling season and replace it when it looks dirty. A clogged filter cuts airflow, freezes coils and raises power bills.

Diagram: buy the size printed on the filter edge, and install it with the airflow arrow pointing toward the air handler.

Drain lines

Algae and slime grow quickly in drain lines in a warm climate. Flushing them during maintenance prevents overflows and ceiling stains.

Outdoor unit

Keep plants, mulch and lawn clippings at least a couple of feet from the unit. Gently rinse salt and dust off the fins with a garden hose, with the power off at the disconnect.

Signs it's overdue

Higher bills, weaker airflow, longer run times, musty smells or a system that struggles on hot afternoons.

Warranties

Some manufacturers require regular maintenance to keep warranties valid. Keep the records.

Book a tune-up

Let the technician know the system's age and any issues. Send a request and an AC technician will get in touch.

Thermostat checks

A technician can confirm the thermostat reads the right temperature and is wired correctly for your system, including heat pump settings that stop backup heat from running when it isn't needed.
