• Check refrigerant levels
• Oil fans and blowers
• Check belts
• Clean evaporator and condenser coils
• Clean or replace air filter
• Inspect electrical system
• Ensure unit cycles properly
• Clean condensate drain and pan
• Calibrate thermostat
• Check ducts for leaks and poor joins

Energy-Saving Benefits

The energy-saving benefits of tune-ups are noticeable:
