What happens if an AC tune-up uncovers a part that needs repair?
Ask what the technician found and what work is optional. At this visit, the homeowner chose a repair after the technician found that the outdoor contactor, the switch that turns power on and off to the equipment, had pitted contacts.
What happened on this visit
The outdoor coil also had dirt and debris on it. Our technician installed and retested the contactor, then cleaned the outdoor coil without adjusting the refrigerant charge. The indoor and outdoor equipment were cooling when the technician finished.
If a repair comes up during maintenance, ask for the part name, the finding and how the technician will check the repair. Those details are more useful than a general recommendation to replace parts.
