What’s Included in a Berkeys AC Tune-Up? (Dallas Homeowner’s Guide)
Summer in Dallas means your air conditioner is more than a luxury — it’s a necessity. With average highs in the 90s, you can’t afford to have your AC fail during a Texas heatwave. That’s why regular AC tune-ups from Berkeys are crucial for keeping your system running efficiently, preventing costly breakdowns and extending its life.
But what’s included in a Berkeys AC tune-up? Here’s a breakdown of what our certified HVAC technicians check, clean and adjust during a full maintenance visit — and why Dallas homeowners trust us for the job.
1. System Inspection
Every tune-up starts with a full system check. Our Dallas HVAC pros examine both the indoor and outdoor units to look for any signs of wear, damage or potential failure.
We check for:
Loose or damaged electrical connections
Refrigerant leaks
Worn belts or bearings
Rust or corrosion
Unusual noises or vibrations
Catching these small issues early can save you from bigger, more expensive repairs down the line — especially during the peak cooling months in North Texas.
2. Coil Cleaning
Dust, pollen and debris are a fact of life in the Dallas–Fort Worth area and over time they collect on your AC’s coils. Dirty coils reduce efficiency, make your system work harder and can even cause compressor failure.
During a Berkeys AC tune-up we:
Clean the evaporator coil inside your home to ensure optimal heat exchange.
Wash the condenser coil in your outdoor unit to improve airflow and cooling performance.
Cleaner coils mean your system runs more efficiently and lower your summer energy bills.
3. Filter Inspection and Replacement
Your air filter is your first line of defense against dust and allergens. A clogged filter reduces airflow and makes your AC work harder — which can shorten its life.
Our tune-up includes:
Inspecting your current filter
Replacing it if necessary (with your preferred type)
Recommending the best filter options for Dallas’s unique air quality challenges
4. Thermostat Calibration
If your thermostat isn’t reading the temperature correctly your AC may cycle too often or not enough — wasting energy and comfort.
We: Check thermostat accuracy
Calibrate settings if needed
Offer advice on upgrading to a programmable or smart thermostat for better energy management
5. Refrigerant Level Check
Low refrigerant can be a sign of a leak — and in Texas heat that can be disastrous. Too little refrigerant makes your AC run longer increasing wear and tear.
We:
Measure refrigerant levels
Recharge if needed
Inspect for leaks and repair if possible
6. Electrical Component Testing
Faulty electrical parts are a common cause of AC failures. Our Dallas HVAC team checks:
Capacitors
Contactors
Wiring connections
Safety controls
We tighten loose connections, replace worn components and ensure everything is up to manufacturer specs.
7. Drain Line Cleaning
Clogged condensate drain lines are a major cause of water leaks in Dallas homes during summer. If the drain can’t carry away moisture it can lead to mold growth, water damage and system shutdown.
Our technicians:
Flush the condensate line
Check the drain pan for rust or cracks
Apply treatments to reduce algae buildup
8. Moving Parts Lubrication
Just like a car engine your AC has moving parts that need proper lubrication to prevent friction and overheating. We apply manufacturer approved lubricants to motors, fans and bearings to keep your system running smoothly.
9. Airflow Measurement
Poor airflow reduces cooling efficiency and can damage your system over time. We measure airflow across your system to ensure ducts are delivering cool air to every room.
