Our Experts will inspect and clean essential parts of your air conditioner during maintenance. Some of the work during a tune-up includes:

• Tightening electrical connections. This ensures your system is working safely.
• Lubricating parts. When your system isn’t lubricated, resistance from moving parts can cause it to stop working more often or more quickly.
• Cleaning the condensate drain line. Cleaning this line takes care of mold and clogs, which can cause leaks.
• Cleaning the condenser coil and evaporator coil. These coils get dirty over time, reducing airflow and the capacity to absorb heat.
• Straightening coil fins. Aluminum fins on the coils can bend and decrease airflow.
• Examining system controls. This makes sure your system is starting, running and shutting down appropriately.

Between tune-ups, there’s some everyday maintenance you should be doing yourself.

• Change the air filter. We recommend changing your air filter every few months. This helps your air conditioner cool more efficiently. You may have to replace your filter more often if you have pets or someone in your household has allergies.
• Remove debris. Leaves, dirt and grass clippings can build up on the outside of your system. This can limit capacity and diminish airflow. Shrubs and plants near the unit should be kept trimmed back.
