When you schedule an HVAC tune-up with Parker & Sons, here’s what you can expect from our certified technicians:
1. Electrical Connections
All electrical connections are carefully checked to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion. Proper connections are essential for safe operation and help prevent unexpected breakdowns.
2. Outdoor Coil Rinse
Your technician performs a courtesy water rinse on the outdoor condenser coil to remove surface dirt and debris. Clean coils improve heat transfer and help your system run more efficiently.
3. Drain Test
We perform a drain test to confirm your condensate drain is flowing normally. While drain clearing is not part of the tune-up, this test helps identify any issues before they cause leaks or water damage.
4. Refrigerant Level Measurement
Technicians measure refrigerant levels with precise instruments to ensure your system has the correct charge. Proper levels are crucial for energy efficiency and preventing compressor damage.
5. Proper Airflow Testing
Airflow is tested to confirm your system is circulating air effectively throughout your home. Adequate airflow ensures even cooling, reduces strain on the fan motor, and supports system longevity.
Prevent AC Breakdowns: Arizona’s intense heat puts major strain on your cooling system. Regular tune-ups help ensure your AC is ready when you need it most.
Prolong System Life: Routine maintenance helps prevent excessive wear and can prolong the life of your HVAC system, saving you from premature replacement costs.
Improve Air Quality: Dust is a fact of life in Arizona. Regular maintenance helps keep your system clean and your indoor air fresher and healthier.
Stay Comfortable in Peak Heat: Most importantly, tune-ups help your system remain reliable during the hottest months of the year.
In Arizona’s climate, it’s best to schedule maintenance twice a year:
Spring: A tune-up prepares your AC for heavy summer use.
Fall: Maintenance ensures your heating system is ready for cooler months.
If your AC is older or works especially hard, scheduling twice-yearly visits is the best way to catch wear and tear early. And if you notice unusual noises, poor cooling, or odd smells, don’t wait, call a professional right away.
While results vary depending on age, condition, and usage, regular HVAC maintenance can:
Help your system run more efficiently, reducing unnecessary energy waste
Prolong the life of your HVAC system
Minimize costly emergency repairs by catching issues early
Protect your manufacturer’s warranty by keeping service records up to date
Strange noises like grinding or squealing
Poor cooling or excessive humidity indoors
Frequent on-off cycling
Rising energy bills without explanation
Odd or burning smells from vents
Leaks around the system
Don’t wait for a breakdown in Arizona’s brutal summer heat. Parker & Sons’ 40-point HVAC tune-up helps prolong the life of your system and prevent costly repairs.
