Cooling System Maintenance and Tune-Ups
A summer breakdown almost always starts with something a tune-up would have caught. Compass Heating & Cooling provides thorough cooling system maintenance for homeowners across the Louisville metro and Southern Indiana. With more than 40 years of combined HVAC experience, an A+ Better Business Bureau rating, and a 4.9 star average from 178 Google reviews, our licensed team (Kentucky license number 349343) keeps your air conditioner efficient and dependable when you need it most.
Why Annual Cooling Maintenance Matters
Air conditioners lose efficiency as coils get dirty, refrigerant drifts out of spec, and parts wear. Regular maintenance restores performance, lowers energy bills, extends equipment life, and helps keep your manufacturer warranty valid. It is the simplest way to avoid a no-cooling call on the hottest day of the year.
What Our Cooling Tune-Up Includes
- Refrigerant charge check by subcooling and superheat
- Condenser and evaporator coil inspection and cleaning
- Capacitor, contactor, and compressor testing
- Condensate drain clearing and float switch check

Technical Expertise You Can Trust
Our EPA Section 608 certified technicians measure rather than guess, verifying charge and airflow against manufacturer specifications so your system delivers rated efficiency. Electrical work follows the National Electrical Code.
Maintenance Plans
Ask about our maintenance options, which keep both your heating and cooling systems on a regular schedule and often include priority scheduling during peak season.
Why Professional Maintenance Matters
Even a small drop in charge or airflow raises energy use and strains the compressor. The U.S. Department of Energy explains the value of regular service in its air conditioner maintenance guide.
