What Is Included in a Typical AC Tune Up Service?

A typical AC tune-up from American Vintage Home includes full cleaning, safety checks, and performance testing to keep your system reliable and efficient. Technicians focus first on airflow-related components, refrigerant charge, and electrical integrity because these drive cooling capacity, energy use, and safety. We perform these detailed inspections throughout Chicago-area homes, with special care for older houses and high-velocity systems.

What our techs typically do during an AC tune-up:

• Clean the outdoor condenser coil
• Inspect the evaporator coil
• Check refrigerant levels and pressures
• Flush the condensate drain and test overflow switches
• Test all safety and operational controls
• Examine the air filter and replace it if one is on hand
• Measure voltage and amperage on motors and lubricate blades if needed
• Inspect and tighten wiring connections

Schedule this service yearly before peak summer to reduce breakdowns and protect efficiency.
