Investing in a routine HVAC tune-up is one of the smartest decisions a homeowner can make. It's not just about preventing problems; it's about optimizing your entire system for performance and longevity. By scheduling regular service, you unlock significant, measurable advantages that pay for themselves over time.

  • Extended System Lifespan: Your HVAC unit is a major home investment. Professional tune-ups can dramatically extend its operational life, helping you postpone the significant expense of a full system replacement.

  • Improved Indoor Air Quality: During a tune-up, we clean critical components and replace filters, which helps reduce the circulation of dust, allergens, and other airborne contaminants, allowing your family to breathe cleaner, healthier air.
  • Enhanced Home Comfort: A finely tuned system provides more consistent and even temperature control throughout your home, eliminating hot and cold spots and ensuring your comfort in every season.
  • Maintained Manufacturer Warranty: Most HVAC manufacturers require proof of regular professional maintenance to keep your system's warranty valid. Our service helps you stay compliant and protected.

Our Comprehensive HVAC Tune-Up Checklist

We believe in complete transparency. When you schedule a tune-up with us, you know exactly what to expect. Our certified technicians perform a meticulous inspection and service, ensuring every component of your system is optimized for safety and efficiency.

Spring & Summer Air Conditioning Tune-Up

  • Evaporator Coil Inspection: The indoor evaporator coil is inspected for cleanliness and proper airflow to ensure maximum cooling performance.
  • Refrigerant Level Check: We verify that your system has the correct refrigerant charge, as improper levels can damage the compressor and reduce efficiency.

  • Air Filter Replacement: We will replace your standard air filter to improve airflow and indoor air quality.
  • Full System Performance Test: We run a complete operational test, measuring temperature differentials and motor amperages to confirm your AC is ready for the summer heat.

Fall & Winter Heating Tune-Up

  • Burner Assembly Cleaning: The furnace burners are cleaned and adjusted for safe and efficient combustion.
  • Ignition System Test: We test the pilot or electronic ignition system to ensure reliable and safe furnace startup.
  • Gas Pressure Verification: Gas pressure is checked and adjusted to manufacturer specifications for optimal performance and safety.
  • Safety Control Testing: All safety controls and limit switches are tested to ensure they are functioning correctly to protect your home.
  • Flue and Venting Inspection: We inspect the flue pipe and venting for proper draft, ensuring that combustion gases are safely exhausted from your home.
  • Blower Motor and Assembly Check: The blower is inspected to ensure it delivers the right amount of warm air.
  • Air Filter Replacement: We replace the filter to maintain strong airflow and system efficiency.
  • Full System Operational Test: We cycle the furnace to monitor its complete heating sequence, confirming safe and proper operation for the winter.

When to Schedule Your HVAC Tune-Up

To keep your system in top condition, we strongly recommend bi-annual tune-ups: one for your air conditioner in the spring and one for your furnace in the fall. This proactive approach prepares your system for the demands of the upcoming season.

You should also be aware of warning signs that indicate your system needs immediate attention, such as:

  • Unusual noises like grinding, squealing, or banging
  • Sudden and unexplained increases in your energy bills
  • Inconsistent temperatures or weak airflow from vents
  • The system cycling on and off more frequently than usual
  • Strange odors coming from the vents when the system is running

Addressing these symptoms early with a professional tune-up can prevent a complete system failure and save you from more extensive repairs.

"I am so impressed with Burnside!!! I will never even consider using anyone else. I was u def a lot of pressure and the heating system was not working correctly and they found a minor inexpensive solution. Another local vendor charged way more for a similar situation. I immediately sighed up for their annual program. God bless them."
