A properly maintained air conditioning system operates efficiently, which reduces energy costs and extends the life of the system. Our experts will change air filters to enhance airflow, ensure that the thermostat is functioning correctly, and tighten all electrical connections to prevent faults. We will also check refrigerant lines, clean the evaporator coil for better cooling, and keep your unit level to prevent operational issues. We'll also check cooling coils to ensure ice isn't building up on them, clear your condensate drain line to prevent a costly plumbing bill, and check ductwork for leaks that could cut airflow. We outline these vital steps to help you avoid expensive repairs and to ensure comfort. You can count on our experts to ensure that your system is working efficiently.
Regular care is important so that your AC solution is working optimally. Leave it to our experts to manage every point in the checklist so your unit operates at peak performance.
1. Replacing Air Filters
Our experts change soiled air filters to increase air circulation, thereby saving up to 15% in energy consumption and reducing energy costs. We check your filter and install the correct replacement to keep your system free of dust or debris.
2. Checking the Thermostat
When the AC is not performing its cooling functions, our technicians check the settings of the unit, the power supply, and the connections to verify that everything works as it should. We make adjustments to ensure your home is at an ideally comfortable temperature.
3. Cleaning and Tightening Electrical Connections
Loose electrical connectors can cause your system to break down. We inspect all wiring connections and tighten them as needed for safe and dependable operation.
4. Inspecting Refrigerant Lines
Dirty or leaking refrigerant lines can hinder cooling. Our technicians will check the lines, detect any potential leaks, and fix freeze-ups. We safely thaw frozen lines when needed to return the unit to normal operation.
5. Cleaning the Evaporator Coil
We check and clean evaporator coils, which allow them to absorb heat properly. If we see any cracks, leaks, or bends, we offer professional repairs so that refrigerant doesn't escape and damage the system.
6. Checking the Cooling Coils for Ice Buildup
Damaged coils will lead to compressor inefficiency. We look for ice buildup on your coils, clear any clogs, and improve airflow in order to prevent breakdowns.
7. Clearing the Condensate Drain Line
A dirty drain line can lead to water leaks and mold. We use specialized equipment to clear up debris and allow drains to work properly to avoid costly water damage.
8. Ductwork Inspection
Duct system leaks both compromise efficiency and raise energy costs. We do this by inspecting the duct system to ensure your duct system works properly with quality airflow into your house.
9. Lubricating Moving Components
Moving parts friction can deteriorate vital components over time. When necessary lubricate motors, fans, and other mechanical components to prevent mechanical stress and maintain smooth function.
10. Testing System Performance
We perform a system test after finishing maintenance to check overall performance. This identifies any remaining issues and guarantees your AC operates at optimal efficiency.
11. Checking Fan Blades and Motor
Unbalanced or bent fan blades lead to noise and inefficiency. We check and balance them to ensure smooth flow and prevent excessive motor strain.
12. Unusual Noises or Odors
Unusual noises or smells may be an indication of mechanical failure, mold growth, or electrical faults. We check for any problems to prevent significant breakdowns.
13. Checking and Securing Panels
Loose panels may lead to vibrations and efficiency loss. We check all the exterior and interior panels, fastening them for smooth and soundless operation.
Routine AC maintenance can help prevent breakdowns, promote energy efficiency, and improve indoor air quality. Our specialists will clean and replace air filters, double-check thermostat settings, and tighten electrical connections to minimize strain on the HVAC unit. We will also check your refrigerant lines, clean the evaporator coil, and make sure your unit is level to keep it operating smoothly.
