Lubricate Mechanical Parts
Friction can be a formidable enemy of your AC. However, lubricating mechanisms can help extend the life of these essential parts and create better energy efficiency overall.
Check Refrigerant Level
We check to make sure you have the appropriate level of refrigerant that keeps your AC working. If your level is low, we’ll recommend the correct product for your specific system.
Remove Debris
Any debris or foreign components could be interfering with the operation of your air conditioning system. We remove any debris that could be obstructing line connections or further disrupting how well your unit runs.
Adjust Thermostat Settings
Our technicians will check the accuracy of your thermostat. If we have to make any adjustments, we’ll explain why and how they help.
Tighten Electrical Connections
Loose electrical connections can cause shorts, resulting in energy loss and an AC unit that works inconsistently or not at all.
Check System Controls
One of the most critical AC maintenance tasks is verifying that system controls are operational and ensuring the correct electrical sequence so that the cooling and heating processes aren’t trying to operate simultaneously.
How Often Should I Service My Air Conditioner?
Most homeowners have their AC units serviced annually to keep air conditioners running adequately. However, we recommend AC maintenance every six months or bi-annually, once in spring and again in fall. This is to make sure that everything is working as it should before a harsh winter or humid summer.
Types of AC Units We Tune-Up
Regardless of the kind of air conditioning system you have, it’ll need a tune-up at least bi-annually for consistent operation.
Central Air Conditioners
Maintenance for a central AC system is a bit more tedious because it involves ensuring ductwork and air registers and returns are also functional. We thoroughly review our checklist designed for central air conditioner maintenance systems as they’re much more complex than any other and have more components.
Because this AC system operates sans ductwork, maintenance tasks are straightforward but still require checking and adjusting a thermostat to guarantee all units are operating efficiently. Our qualified technicians schedule maintenance bi-annually, like most AC unit systems.
Swamp Coolers
One of the primary maintenance tasks vital to the function of swamp coolers is replacing water pads. Your water pads must be checked regularly and replaced every 3-5 years. We also clean the exterior of your system to remove any dust or dirt buildup.
Window Units
Natural wear and tear is inevitable with a unit that gets regular usage. Our qualified comfort specialists can service your window unit annually to eliminate dust, pollen, and pollutant accumulation in the air filter and on the unit.
Wall Units
Like window units, a wall-mounted air conditioner should be serviced once a year and can take around an hour or two to complete maintenance. We work quickly to perform the necessary care tasks accurately and leave you to enjoy your AC until the following year.
AC Maintenance Cost
Routine AC maintenance can cost between $50-200 depending on the unit type and the extent of any issue we find. If any problems need immediate attention, our team of dedicated and courteous professionals will provide you with an upfront estimate for AC repairs. However, we also offer customers our exclusive Comfort Club program that includes annual or bi-annual maintenance plans to help you save time and money on upkeep.
