AC Tune-Ups in Charlottesville, VA

The checklist covers cleaning, testing, calibration, and a protective coating applied before the visit ends:

• Our technician cleans the condenser coil and inspects the evaporator coil, cleaning it as needed, with accessibility noted up front if it adds cost.
• Condensate drains are cleaned and tested so summer moisture leaves the house reliably.
• Refrigerant pressure is monitored and the temperature difference across the system is measured.
• The system’s starting capabilities and safety controls are tested.
• Standard air filters are cleaned or replaced, and the blower components are inspected and cleaned.
• Airflow is checked for correctness, and the thermostat’s calibration is verified.
• Electrical connections are tightened, volts and amps are measured, and all moving parts are lubricated.
• Indoor air quality gets checked alongside the mechanical work.
• A protective coating is applied to the unit, and the full cooling cycle is monitored before the technician leaves.

A central Virginia air conditioner sits idle through the cold months, and its cabinet and electrical connections are exposed to the weather the whole time. The protective coating applied during the tune-up helps protect the cabinet’s finish, and the spring electrical checks confirm the connections are tight.

In a region where spring pollen coats outdoor coils, cleaning the condenser coil is part of getting ready for summer, and verified refrigerant pressure keeps the cooling cycle on track. Following the maintenance schedule also supports your manufacturer’s warranty.

Matching the right technicians to your job, all on your schedule, is how we staff every call. Our technicians photograph their work and your equipment, so the record of your system’s condition is visual.

A finding during the tune-up moves straight to our air conditioning repair team. Robertson Electric also handles plumbing, electrical, and generators, so a panel or circuit question that comes up during an AC visit stays with one company. Repairs follow the same order every time: measure, photograph the finding, price the options, then work. Scheduling is available online, by phone, and through the 24/7 website chat.

Your technician reviews what you have noticed, works the checklist across the outdoor and indoor equipment, and monitors a complete cooling cycle, taking photos along the way. Mini-splits are covered too, so let us know about every system when you book. You finish with the photographed condition of your system and options for anything it needs.

The Energy Savings Agreement is our maintenance plan: a cooling visit each spring and a heating visit each fall, with priority scheduling, reduced diagnostic and overtime rates for members, and a repair warranty on covered work.
