What is a Tip Top Tune-up?
When you invest in a Tip Top Tuneup from Total Air, you’re getting concierge level care for your home’s heating and air. We might call it the Lexus of AC tuneups (though Grandpa Fred would probably prefer that we say “Cadillac.”). A visit from our Eagle Eye techs ensures your family’s safety and comfort, as we guarantee your system will survive whatever Mother Nature has in store. You can also count on lower energy bills…and more than anything, true peace of mind.
Not all air conditioner tuneups are created equal. Some companies will come out and shine a flashlight and whack it with a broom. And worse, some companies will use it as an opportunity to use their Jedi mind tricks to instill fear and sell you a system you don’t need.
When we say “Tip Top” Tune-up, it’s not a gimmick. Most system failures are due to a lack of regular maintenance. And no Texas homeowner wants to face the brutal heat of summer without a strong AC. So what’s the surest way to ensure the smoothest flow of ice-cold air in your home, no matter what Mother Nature has in store?
We train our Eagle Eye Technicians, in-house, to conduct a thorough evaluation of your comfort system. This is not a ‘wave the flashlight around and bang a few pipes, and then leave.’ Our technicians make certain that your air conditioner is giving you goosebumps, because they have 69 cooling tune-up checkpoints that they’re going to evaluate. Sixty-Nine. Then they’re going to explain to you what they found in simple terms you can understand.
