Proper air conditioning maintenance can help your unit 20, 30 , even 40 years. But, on the flip-side, a neglected air conditioner loses roughly 5 to 10% of its efficiency each year that it operates without upkeep. In other words, that supposedly green air conditioner or heat pump you bought to stay cool could start to function like the most inefficient thing on the market.

Filters and coils are both parts that require regular maintenance for your air conditioner to operate effectively and efficiently. Neglecting your unit leads to poor air conditioning performance and increased energy consumption. And regular maintenance is far less costly than repairs or a replacement. By keeping your unit operating at peak performance, you will recover any money invested in upkeep by lower repair costs and savings on your electric bill. Check out our Preventative Maintenance Plan to see how we'll keep your air conditioner running efficiency and problem free for years to come.

Both the homeowner and a professional can accomplish different aspects of preventative air conditioning maintenance. Homeowners can:

Regularly make sure the condensing unit located outside is not covered up or clogged with leaves or debris. The unit needs to breathe, to draw air into the system.

Change the filters regularly.

Do not use a hose and water to try to clean the interior of the unit. Cleaning the unit in this way can lead to serious risk of electrical shock and possible shorting of electrical components.

Professional HVAC servicing should include:

Balancing refrigerant levels with superheat and supercool calculations. This part is an exact science that a lot of service companies don't understand.

Making sure all electrical components and controls are working properly. Including capacitors, transformers, contractors, and fuses.

Checking and cleaning the evaporator and condenser coils.

Oiling motors (if applicable).

Check for leaks or signs of oil spotting.

Checking the thermostat for functionality.

Checking filters.

One last word of advice in regular air conditioning maintenance to consider is having your ducts properly sealed. When cooled air leaks from supply ducts, or when hot air creeps into return ducts, this can lead to wasted energy, and an overworked air conditioner.

Air Conditioner Preventative Maintenance Plan Service Includes:

Test cooling cycles for proper operation. This ensure efficient operation and prevents unneeded stress on the compressor

Check fan control. Ensures proper cooling and extends motor life.

Check condensate drain. A plugged drain can cause water to get in the air handler and lead to corrosion or an electrical short.

Check pressure & refrigerant level. Ensures proper cooling ability and keeps the compressor running trouble fee.

Check air filters. Ensures proper clean air flow.

Check in/outdoor coil for dirt. Helps increase the air conditioner energy transfer process and ensure efficient operation.

Check temperature split and thermostat calibration. Helps ensure the proper amount of refrigerant is in the air conditioning system.

1 free standard air filter is included (or washable filters will be cleaned for you)
