An annual AC tune up helps to ensure the safety and operational condition of your air conditioning equipment and catches minor problems that could lead to expensive repairs in the future. Additionally, the annual inspection helps to ensure your Boston or Cambridge home remains comfortable and safe while reducing energy usage, which saves you money!

AC Tune Up Tips & Info

  • Keep in mind that a cleanup is different than an inspection. A cleanup involves a full cleaning of all AC equipment.
  • Air conditioning systems should never leak refrigerant, if your refrigerant has a leak, they should be replaced.
  • An air conditioning system startup and inspection is not just about safety, but preventive maintenance as well. It is about catching a problem before your air conditioner stops working in the middle of the hottest night.

Reasons to Do a Tune Up

1. Preparation for the Colder Months

Think of this as an annual physical with your doctor, or a teeth cleaning every six months. The weather in winter is harsh and long, a furnace works for about 4,200 hours during the winter months. After its hard work each year and its power being left off for months, it needs to get a “physical” before the long winter months.

2. A Thorough Checklist

Many homeowners aren’t aware that even a basic tune-up involves various checkpoints to inspect the system. Here at Winters®, we offer a basic tune-up for only $99, which involves a thorough checklist that our technicians go through with 21 checkpoints. Keep in mind that a tune-up is different from cleaning on a system.

3. AC Maintenance Is Not a DIY Job

We love DIY projects and often educate customers to do a lot of things themselves to save money. However, a heating system tune-up is simply not one of them. Why? A tune-up isn’t just taking a vacuum nozzle into the furnace and sucking the dust out. Heating systems are sophisticated and can get intricate, our trained technicians have the skills and equipment to make sure that any parts degraded over time are still functioning properly.

4. Saving Money, Avoiding Future Disasters

On average, the cost of heating a home is about $1000, and a typical no-heat repair costs about $800. A tune-up is a test to best prevent and foresee the no-heat disaster, which is also why it’s so important to have a professional HVAC technician do this instead of yourself. We have the right knowledge and tools to know where and what to look for!

5. A Plan that Triggers Tune-Up

We offer many plans that protect our customers and their systems. All our plan members receive an annual heating system tune-up as one of the many benefits. They are our priority customers. They also receive no dispatch fees for any of the work we perform ($225 value), as well as 15% on all the work done by Winters®. Learn more about it by giving us a call at (866) 482-7586.

6. Choose the Right HVAC Team!

Many HVAC contractors offer similar maintenance services. What distinguishes the best company from the rest are the training and skill sets technicians have. We constantly train and evaluate our technicians’ work to stay ahead. They also follow our Winters® Promises to ensure every customer’s satisfaction. Our technicians are trained to educate customers the best way they can, so you can understand your system better. It’s about doing the work with the company and person you trust and can always rely on.
