HVAC Maintenance and Tune-Ups in Dunwoody, GA

A seasonal tune-up that cleans what clogs, tests what wears out and tells you which parts are getting tired before they quit on you.

What Does a Tune-Up Actually Head Off?

Here's the thing about breakdowns: they're rarely sudden. They're the last step of a slow slide nobody was watching. A capacitor loses a little strength every summer until one blistering afternoon it can't start the compressor. A drain line collects slime until the float switch shuts everything off, or worse, the pan spills over. An outdoor coil matted with pollen and cottonwood fluff makes the whole system strain and run hot. A flame sensor slowly gets coated until the furnace starts cutting out on cold nights. A tune-up catches each of those while it's still a small fix. In spring the technician focuses on cooling: rinsing the outdoor coil, flushing the drain, testing capacitors and contactors and measuring refrigerant and airflow. In fall it's heating's turn: burners, flame sensor, igniter, venting and safety controls, plus the blower and filter. Heat pumps get attention both seasons, since they work all year. Every visit follows a checklist and ends with a written report in everyday language, so you'll know what was done, what the numbers were and what to watch. That's how a tune-up heads off a breakdown.

What's on the Tune-Up Checklist?

Cooling and heating each get their own list. Here's what's on them.

  • Coils, inside and out

    Rinsed or inspected so heat can move without the system straining.

  • Drain and float switch

    Line flushed and the overflow switch tested so water stays where it belongs.

  • Start-up electrical parts

    Capacitors and contactors put on a meter, since they're first to fail in a heat wave.

  • Charge and airflow numbers

    Measured and compared with what the equipment's supposed to be doing.

  • Flame and safety checks

    Burners, flame sensor, igniter, venting and limit switches looked over on the heating visit.

  • Blower and a fresh filter

    Blower inspected and a new filter in place, with a tip on how often to check it.

  • Thermostat handshake

    Confirmed to be calling for heating and cooling the way it should.

  • Your written report

    What we checked, the readings and anything worth keeping an eye on, in plain English.

How Does Tune-Up Day Work?

  1. Choose a day

    Any day of the week's fair game. Most folks do cooling in spring and heating in fall, and if you've got a heat pump, both visits pay off.

  2. Checklist, meters, notes

    The technician works down the list on the indoor and outdoor equipment, cleaning, testing and jotting down readings as they go.

  3. Walk through the report

    Before heading out, the technician goes over the findings with you. If a part's wearing thin, you'll get the price and decide when to deal with it.
