Air Conditioning Maintenance in Austin

AC Tune-Up Service in Austin, TX & Surrounding Areas

No appliance works harder than an air conditioner in an Austin summer. Regular DIY maintenance is a great way to keep your ac functioning efficiently, but an AC tune-up from a licensed professional is the best way to avoid costly AC repairs and lengthen your unit’s lifespan. We offer an 18-month repair warranty and a lifetime warranty on new AC systems.

Why Get an AC Tune-Up?

Most homeowners don’t think much about their air conditioner until something goes wrong, which is understandable. There are no lights or milestones to remind you when your AC needs service, and it’s easy to forget as long as it’s blowing cool air. But, just like a car, proper maintenance is essential to keep your air conditioner functioning efficiently.

Air conditioning maintenance is just like a routine oil change or tire rotation. It gives our licensed HVAC technicians an opportunity to make sure all the parts are working and fix any potential issues before they end up causing problems.

Making a few tweaks to your air conditioner is significantly cheaper than AC repairs, especially when we offer seasonal specials for spring tune-ups. Plus, rather than having to go even an hour without your AC in the middle of July, you can keep the cool air blasting all summer long. 

What’s Included in AC Maintenance?

At Daniel’s Plumbing & Air Conditioning, we provide a comprehensive inspection for every air conditioner. While there are common things we check during each tune up, our service techs can also address any concerns you may have about your unit, such as odd noises or uneven cooling.

Regular air conditioning maintenance can help you avoid repairs, but, if we do find something broken, we also specialize in providing effective AC repair when necessary.

If there’s absolutely no other option, you can count on Daniel’s Plumbing & Air Conditioning to give you an honest quote for a new air conditioner installation for your home, without worrying about a hard sales pitch or an upsell. 

Typical AC maintenance includes these steps:

• Calibrating the thermostat to ensure your AC is adjusting to the correct temperature
• Inspecting oil and/or air filters, including in-duct UV air purifiers
• Evaluating blower components for even cooling
• Gauging overall air flow and any potential obstructions
• Checking all electrical connections
• Examining condenser and evaporator coils
• Checking metering device, if accessible
• Measuring return and supply air temperature
• Inspecting wet tub temperature, if applicable
• Assessing safety controls and processes
• Testing the amperage of compressor
• Measuring suction line temperature
• Checking refrigerant pressure and levels
• Examining condensate drains for potential leaks or blockages

Based on what our technicians find in the inspection, they’ll move on to whatever processes your AC needs to keep working properly, such as:

• Replacing, cleaning, or installing new air filters
• Tightening electrical connections based on volts and amps
• Lubricating all parts to keep them moving smoothly
• Cleaning or clearing condensate drain, blower components, and condenser coil

Our AC service techs will make sure everything is running smoothly in your unit, which will also increase the overall energy efficiency of your HVAC system. A simple tune-up can end up saving you money every month, as your AC won’t have to work as hard to keep your home cool.
