HVAC tune-ups in Murfreesboro
A yearly check catches worn parts before they fail on the coldest or hottest day of the year, and keeps the warranty on newer systems valid.
What a tune-up usually covers
- Cleaning the outdoor coil and checking refrigerant pressures.
- Testing capacitors, contactors and motors.
- On a furnace, cleaning the flame sensor, checking the igniter and burners, and testing for gas and carbon monoxide leaks.
- Clearing the condensate drain and checking the thermostat.
When to schedule
Spring for cooling and fall for heating. Heat pumps do both jobs, so twice a year is common. Many companies offer a yearly plan with two visits and priority scheduling. Ask what's included before you sign up.
A typical tune-up runs about $75 to $250 nationally, according to PickHVAC.
