What to Expect During an Air Conditioner Tune-Up?
To keep your air conditioner running as expected during the heat of summer, it’s important to keep it properly maintained throughout the year. Scheduling an annual tune-up can help your unit function as expected.
When an AC contractor arrives at your home or building, you can expect him or her to perform the following routine tasks:
-
Check the refrigerant to ensure it has the right amount.
-
Look for refrigerant leaks.
-
Inspect the air ducts for excessive debris and potential leaks.
-
Ensure the proper amount of air is flowing through your evaporator coil.
-
Check the evaporator coil for any other issues that should be repaired.
-
Make sure the cooling and heating sequences are not operating at the same time.
-
Inspect the electric terminals and apply a non-conductive coating, if needed.
-
Apply oil to the motors as needed.
-
Examine the belts and inspect all other working components.
-
Check the thermostat to ensure it’s working properly.
Does Your Heater Need to Be Replaced?
You don’t want to find out in the middle of a chilly winter that your heater needs to be replaced. Instead, it’s important to watch for signs that can indicate you need a new unit so you can install a new system before the existing one fails completely.
Some signs to watch for can include:
-
If your unit is nearing the end of its life expectancy.
-
If the unit needs multiple repairs.
-
The utility bills increase without a change in usage.
-
The heat exchanger is cracked, which can lead to a dangerous carbon monoxide leak.
-
The unit isn’t as efficient as it used to be.
-
The system fails to properly heat your home.

Why is my unit making a clicking noise?
A clicking noise could indicate an electrical issue, relay switch malfunction, or debris in the fan. If the noise continues, have our professional technicians inspect your unit.
Why does my dryer smell burnt?
A burning smell from your dryer could mean lint buildup in the vent or overheating components. Turn it off immediately and call Premier Service Company for a vent cleaning and safety check.
Why is hot air blowing out of my vents when it's set to cool?
This could be due to a thermostat setting issue, a refrigerant leak, or a malfunctioning compressor. Contact us to diagnose and fix the problem.
Why is there water dripping from my vents?
Water dripping from vents can be caused by excess humidity, clogged drain lines, or poor insulation. Our team can inspect and resolve the issue to prevent further damage.
Why is the pipe on my porch or garage ceiling leaking water?
This is likely the AC’s emergency drain line, which means your main drain line is clogged. Turn off your AC and call us for service before further water damage occurs.
How often should I change my air filter?
We recommend changing your air filter every 1-3 months, depending on usage and household conditions.
Is the black in my vents mold?
It could be mold or dust buildup. If you notice black residue, schedule a duct inspection and cleaning with Premier Service Company.
Does a new unit change the cost of my power bill?
Yes! A newer, energy-efficient unit can significantly lower your energy costs compared to an older system.
Why does one door slam when the AC is on?
This is due to pressure changes caused by your HVAC system. A simple solution may be adjusting door gaps or vent placement.
