As the weather warms up across Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, and Santa Fe, it’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of spring. But before the temperatures climb any higher, it’s important to make sure your HVAC system is ready to keep you cool and comfortable. Scheduling a spring HVAC tune-up with Aztec Mechanical isn’t just a good idea—it’s one of the smartest ways to protect your home or office, your comfort, and your wallet.
Here’s what’s included in a professional spring tune-up—and why it’s 100% worth it.
What’s Included in a Spring HVAC Tune-Up
At Aztec Mechanical, we follow a detailed checklist during every spring service to ensure your system is running at its best. Here’s what you can expect:
1. Comprehensive Inspection
We perform a full system inspection, checking your AC unit, ductwork, thermostat, and electrical connections for signs of wear, damage, or potential problems.
2. Cleaning of Components
Dust, dirt, and debris can build up in your system over the winter months. We clean vital components like the evaporator coils, condenser coils, and blower parts to help your system run efficiently.
3. Air Filter Check and Replacement
A dirty air filter can reduce airflow and make your system work harder. We inspect and, if needed, replace the air filter to improve indoor air quality and system efficiency.
4. Refrigerant Check
Proper refrigerant levels are key to keeping your home cool. We’ll check levels and look for any leaks that could cause bigger issues down the road.
5. Thermostat Calibration
We ensure your thermostat is accurately reading and controlling temperatures, which helps prevent unnecessary energy usage.
6. Lubrication of Moving Parts
Reducing friction in the motor and other moving parts helps prevent premature wear and extends the life of your system.
7. Testing System Performance
Before we leave, we’ll run your system through a full cycle to make sure it’s cooling properly and operating safely.
Why a Spring HVAC Tune-Up Is Worth It
Still wondering if a tune-up is necessary? Here’s why investing in a spring maintenance visit pays off:
Boost Efficiency and Save Money
A tuned-up system doesn’t have to work as hard to keep you cool, which can lead to noticeable savings on your energy bills throughout the summer.
Extend the Life of Your System
Regular maintenance helps catch small issues before they turn into major (and expensive) repairs or even full system replacements.
Avoid Emergency Breakdowns
The last thing you want is your AC breaking down on a hot day. A spring tune-up helps spot and fix potential problems before they leave you sweating.
Improve Indoor Air Quality
A clean, well-maintained HVAC system means healthier air for you and your family—especially important during allergy season in New Mexico.
Protect Your Warranty
Many manufacturers require proof of regular maintenance to honor warranty claims. A spring tune-up helps you stay covered.
