Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I schedule an AC tune up?
Most homes need an AC tune up once a year, ideally before summer. This keeps your system efficient and helps prevent breakdowns during peak heat.
Will an AC tune up really lower my energy bills?
Yes. A proper AC tune up improves airflow, restores efficiency, and reduces strain on the system, which can noticeably lower monthly energy costs.
How long does a professional AC tune up take?
A typical AC tune up takes 60–90 minutes depending on the system’s age and condition. Larger or older units may require additional checks.
Do I need an AC tune up if my system seems to be working fine?
Yes. Many issues—such as low refrigerant or coil buildup—don’t show symptoms right away. An AC tune up catches small problems early and prevents costly repairs.
What’s included in an AC tune up from XCEL?
Your AC tune up includes coil cleaning, airflow testing, refrigerant checks, thermostat calibration, electrical inspection, and system performance verification.
How do I know if my AC needs a tune up right now?
Warm rooms, longer run times, musty odors, or rising utility bills are common signs your system needs an AC tune up before summer heat arrives.
Can an AC tune up extend the lifespan of my system?
Yes. A yearly AC tune up reduces wear and tear, helping your air conditioner last several years longer than neglected systems.
Is an AC tune up required to maintain my manufacturer warranty?
In many cases, yes. Most manufacturers recommend regular AC tune up service to keep warranties valid on major components.
Do you provide AC tune up services for all brands?
Absolutely. Our licensed technicians perform a full AC tune up on all major brands, including older systems that may need additional care.
What’s the difference between an AC tune up and a repair?
An AC tune up is preventive maintenance to keep the system efficient. A repair addresses a specific failure or malfunction. Regular tune ups help minimize the need for repairs.
