The Benefits of a Professional AC Maintenance Program 

• Enhanced energy efficiency: Regular maintenance can help keep your system running smoothly and efficiently, reducing energy consumption and lowering utility bills.
• Improved air quality: Cleaning and replacing the filters and components helps to remove dust, allergens, and pollutants, which often results in cleaner indoor air. This can be particularly important when someone in our home has respiratory issues. 
• Reduced risk of breakdowns: Who wants the AC to go out on the hottest day of the year? Routine checks and tune-ups are done so that we can identify and address potential issues before they turn into major problems. 
• Extended system lifespan: Keeping your AC system well-maintained may be able to extend its operational life, potentially saving you the expense of a premature replacement.
• Consistent comfort: A well-maintained air conditioning system is much more likely to deliver consistent cooling throughout your home, thereby maintaining a comfortable environment.
• Cost savings: Preventative maintenance often helps avoid costly emergency repairs and may extend the time between AC repairs.
• Peace of mind: Knowing that your system is regularly inspected and maintained by professionals can give you confidence that it will perform well. 

AC Maintenance Tips

It’s a good idea for homeowners to take DIY steps that include the following: 

• Clean or replace the filters: Clogged or dirty filters can significantly reduce airflow and efficiency. 
• Inspect and clean the coils: The evaporator and condenser coils collect dirt, which affects their ability to absorb heat. If you notice a buildup of dirt, inspect and clean these coils. Use a soft brush or a special coil cleaner for the best results.
• Check the thermostat: Make sure that your thermostat is working correctly and set at the appropriate temperature. Consider upgrading to a programmable thermostat for more precise control over your home's cooling schedule, which can help save on energy costs.
• Clear debris around the outdoor unit: Keep the area around your outdoor condenser unit free of debris, leaves, and vegetation. This enables proper airflow and prevents the unit from overworking. You should also trim any plants or shrubs within two feet of the unit.
• Inspect and clean the drain line: The AC’s drain line can become clogged with algae and mould, leading to water damage and reduced efficiency. If necessary, flush it out with a mixture of bleach and water.
• Check for leaks: Inspect the refrigerant lines for leaks or damage. Low refrigerant levels can severely impact cooling performance. If you suspect a leak, call our office for safe and effective repair work backed by a warranty. 
• Listen for unusual noises: Strange sounds like grinding, squealing, or rattling can indicate mechanical issues needing immediate attention. We’re available 24/7 and offer emergency services. 
• Ensure proper insulation: Good insulation prevents cool air from escaping. This reduces the workload on your AC system, potentially improving its efficiency and lifespan.

While these DIY tips can help keep your air conditioning system in good shape, they should be complemented by regular professional inspections. Our technicians have the knowledge and tools to perform comprehensive check-ups, identify and address potential issues early on, and make sure that all your system’s components are functioning correctly. 

Combining your DIY efforts with our experienced professional maintenance can help you enjoy optimal performance, enhanced efficiency, and extended longevity of your AC system.
