Regular maintenance of your air conditioner’s filters, coils, and fins is essential for maintaining efficiency and extending the life of your system. Neglecting these important tasks can lead to a steady decline in cooling performance while causing your energy bills to rise.

How Air Conditioning Maintenance Saves You Money

Routine air conditioner maintenance is critical to keeping your system energy-efficient and avoiding costly repairs. By scheduling service before summer starts, you ensure your AC unit is ready to handle high temperatures without straining your budget. Regular maintenance catches small issues early—before they turn into expensive breakdowns.

Essential Air Conditioning Maintenance Services

Air Conditioner Filter Cleaning and Replacement

One of the most important maintenance steps is regularly replacing or cleaning your AC filters. Dirty, clogged filters restrict airflow and can significantly reduce system efficiency. Blocked airflow forces dirt into the evaporator coil, impairing its heat-absorbing capacity.

Clean filters can lower your energy use by 5% to 15%.
Filters should be cleaned or replaced every 1–2 months during the cooling season.
Homes with pets, heavy AC use, or dusty environments may require more frequent filter maintenance.

We also recommend advanced air cleaners that can capture allergens like pet dander, pollen, bacteria, and even flu viruses—keeping your indoor air healthier and your HVAC system cleaner.

Evaporator and Condenser Coil Maintenance

Over time, your air conditioner’s evaporator and condenser coils collect dirt, even with regular filter changes. Dirt buildup reduces airflow and insulation, decreasing the coil’s ability to absorb and release heat.

We inspect and clean evaporator coils annually.
For added protection, we recommend UV lights installed near the evaporator coil to prevent mold growth, improving both efficiency and indoor air quality.
Outdoor condenser coils should be cleaned regularly, and debris such as leaves, dryer lint, and grass should be cleared to maintain proper airflow.

Coil Fin Repair

The aluminum fins on your AC’s evaporator and condenser coils can easily bend, blocking airflow. Our technicians use specialized “fin combs” to gently straighten the fins and restore system efficiency.

Condensate Drain Cleaning

Clogged condensate drains can cause excess humidity and water damage inside your home. We ensure your condensate drain channels are clear, helping your system maintain proper humidity control.

Window Seal Inspections for Room Air Conditioners

Before the cooling season begins, it’s important to check the seal between your room air conditioner and the window frame. A compromised seal can let cool air escape, reducing efficiency. We inspect and correct window seals to keep your system airtight.

Winter Preparation for AC Units

Protect your air conditioner during the off-season:

Cover your outdoor AC unit in winter to shield it from harsh weather and debris.
For heat pumps that operate year-round, covering is not recommended.
