Air Conditioning Maintenance

We recommend scheduling professional air conditioning maintenance at least once a year, ideally in the spring before the cooling season begins. This ensures your system is clean, well-lubricated, and operating efficiently before the hot summer months. 

Regular maintenance helps prevent minor issues from turning into costly repairs and reduces the risk of unexpected breakdowns during peak usage. Additionally, servicing your AC annually can improve energy efficiency, lower utility bills, and extend the lifespan of your unit. If your system is older or experiences heavy usage, you may benefit from bi-annual servicing to maintain optimal performance.

Yes! Regular AC maintenance can save you money in multiple ways. A well-maintained air conditioner runs more efficiently, consuming less energy and lowering your monthly utility bills. By catching small problems early, maintenance helps prevent expensive repairs and reduces the risk of emergency breakdowns. 

Additionally, routine servicing extends the lifespan of your system, delaying costly replacements. Dirty coils, clogged filters, and low refrigerant levels can force your AC to work harder, increasing wear and tear. Investing in annual maintenance ensures your unit operates at peak efficiency, keeping your cooling costs and repair expenses under control.

Skipping air conditioning maintenance can lead to various issues that impact performance, efficiency, and longevity. Over time, dust and debris accumulate in the system, reducing airflow and cooling capacity. This forces the AC to work harder, increasing energy consumption and utility costs.

Neglected maintenance can also cause refrigerant leaks, electrical failures, and compressor malfunctions, leading to costly repairs or even premature system failure. Additionally, a dirty AC can reduce indoor air quality, circulating dust, allergens, and mold. Regular tune-ups help prevent breakdowns, extend the unit’s lifespan, and maintain reliable cooling, ensuring your home stays comfortable year-round.

If your air conditioner stops working, start by checking the thermostat settings to ensure it’s set to "cool" and at the correct temperature. Next, inspect the circuit breaker to see if a tripped switch is cutting power to the unit. 

Additionally, check the air filter—a clogged filter can restrict airflow and cause the system to shut down. If these steps don’t resolve the issue, the problem could be related to low refrigerant, faulty wiring, or a malfunctioning compressor. In this case, contact us for a professional inspection to diagnose and repair the problem quickly.
