As the days grow longer and temperatures start to rise, now is the perfect time to ensure your air conditioning system is in top shape for the warmer months ahead. Regular AC maintenance not only helps prevent costly breakdowns but also keeps your system running efficiently, reducing energy costs and extending its lifespan. Scheduling your spring AC tune-up now ensures your home stays cool and comfortable all season long.
Why Spring AC Maintenance is Essential
After months of sitting idle, your AC system may have developed hidden issues that could lead to breakdowns when temperatures rise. Winter conditions, including moisture buildup and fluctuating temperatures, can cause wear and tear on components like capacitors, compressors, and electrical connections. If left unchecked, these problems can reduce efficiency, increase energy bills, and even lead to costly repairs.
xDust and debris can also accumulate in filters, coils, and drains, making your system work harder than necessary. This not only strains the unit but also affects indoor air quality, circulating allergens and dust throughout your home. Routine maintenance in the spring helps catch these issues early, ensuring your AC runs smoothly, efficiently, and reliably when you need it most.
Spring AC Maintenance Checklist
Our professional AC maintenance service includes a thorough inspection and tune-up to keep your system running smoothly. Here’s what we check:
- Check Filters: Dirty filters restrict airflow and reduce efficiency. We inspect and replace filters if needed to ensure proper airflow and air quality.
- Check Compressor Starting Components: Faulty starting components can prevent your AC from turning on. We test these parts to ensure smooth operation.
- Check for Refrigerant Leaks: Low refrigerant levels can lead to poor cooling performance and system damage. We check for leaks and recharge refrigerant as needed.
- Check/Tighten Electrical Connections: Loose or faulty electrical connections can pose a safety hazard and cause system failures. We inspect and secure all electrical components.
- Clean Condensate Drains and Pump: A clogged drain can lead to water damage and mold growth. We clear out debris to prevent blockages.
- Clean Outdoor Coil: A dirty outdoor coil reduces efficiency and makes your system work harder. We remove dirt and debris to improve cooling performance.
- Check Refrigerant Charge: An improper refrigerant charge can cause inefficient cooling and strain on your AC unit. We ensure the refrigerant levels are properly balanced.
