Checklist for Air Conditioning Maintenance

We provide comprehensive air conditioning maintenance. We’ll do everything we can do to check your AC for safe and proper functioning. The following items are included in each AC maintenance visit:

• Ensure your thermostat is calibrated properly and that it is not in direct contact with heat sources.
• Checking and tightening your air conditioner’s electrical connections.
• Lubricating any moving parts that need it.
• Ensuring that your A/C unit turns on, cools, and turns off appropriately.
• Changing or cleaning your air filter.
• Testing each component of your A/C to make sure they are working as the manufacturer designed them to work.
• Cleaning out dust and debris that can make your air conditioner inefficient.
• Checking refrigerant levels and operating pressures.
• Looking for exposed wiring.
• Inspecting ductwork for energy loss.

Our team will fix any problems we discover with your air conditioner before you rely on it to cool your home. Whatever it takes, we’ll have your air conditioner running smoothly before we leave!

How Often Should You Maintenance Your AC?

• For optimum performance we recommend getting preventative air conditioning maintenance at least once a year. This not only ensures your system is running more efficiently, but also lets us check for any small problems that could turn into big ones, saving you money on costly air conditioning repairs down the road

How Do I Know If My AC Needs Maintenance?

• There are many signs that you might need an AC tune up, but the top 5 signs are:
  • Warm air blowing out of your vents instead of cool
  • Weak airflow coming out of your vents
  • Frequent “cycling” of the machine, it turns on and off multiple times a day
  • Higher humidity, or leaks around the air conditioner
  • Your energy bills are higher than usual without running your AC more.

How Often Should AC Filters Be Changed?

• Ideally, you should be changing your filter about every 30 days for optimum performance. However, if you live somewhere with cleaner air, or don’t run your AC too much, you can replace them every 90 days. We always replace your filters for you during our air conditioning maintenance visits too!

What Does An AC Filter Look Like When It Needs To Be Changed?

• A dirty filter will look very obviously dusty, dirty or clogged. A little dirt here or there isn’t much to be concerned about, but if you see lots of hair, dust, dirt or anything else blocking your entire filter, it’s time to change it.
