Question

Accepted Answer

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.
