Air Conditioning Maintenance Services

Does your AC struggle to provide and maintain efficient temperature levels? If so, a maintenance inspection and a tune-up from local AC experts like the technicians at Air Pros may be all that it needs

A regular maintenance routine is the key to an efficiently functioning air conditioning unit. At Air Pros, we help keep your AC in pristine shape so that you get to enjoy a comfortable and healthy home environment.

Benefits of AC Maintenance

It’s not a secret that an air conditioning unit is a reasonably expensive investment for your home. Because of that, maintaining it should be a top priority. When your air conditioner is in its best shape, you get to enjoy the following benefits:

Improved Energy Efficiency

Clogged air filters, air ducts, and AC coils all cause poor energy efficiency in your unit. During a maintenance visit, the technician will check these components and others to ensure they are clean and in proper order. When every component is functioning as it should, the AC will work according to its design without increasing energy consumption and subsequent bills.

Enhanced Indoor Air Quality

A poorly maintained air conditioner will lead to poor indoor air quality. When you notice an increase in dust, mugginess, or odors, it is generally a sign that your AC needs a once-over from a maintenance technician. The adjustments and cleaning they provide will help improve and enhance your indoor air quality, improving asthma flares and preventing many allergies and other respiratory conditions.

Extended Lifespan of the AC Unit

All good things must end, including your air conditioning unit. However, with a proper maintenance routine, you can get the maximum length of use out of your AC. Our technicians can catch repairs early during a routine maintenance visit before they become a bigger problem. A neglected repair wears down the entire unit and will cause it to break down earlier than the end of its lifespan.

Cost Savings on Repairs and Replacements

In addition to extending its lifespan, AC maintenance also goes a long way to saving you costs in repairs and replacements. A simple adjustment of the blow motor belts is more cost-effective than replacing them. Repairs are primarily avoided when the unit’s parts are cleaned and aligned correctly. This will also help prevent the need to replace parts of the air conditioning unit before the end of its lifespan

Frequently Asked Questions About AC Maintenance

How often should AC filters be changed?

AC filters should be changed at least every 4 to 6 weeks. If you consistently use the air conditioning unit every day, we recommend changing the air filters more frequently than others. Make it a habit to check them at least every four weeks to ensure that they are clean and free of debris that will hurt your indoor air quality and the efficiency of your air conditioning system.

Is it OK to run an AC all the time?

If you live in hot places like California, Florida, Texas, or New York, you may be tempted to operate the air conditioning system 24/7. Give it a break every 8 to 10 hours. The longer your air conditioning system runs, the more wear and tear it experiences; this will cause a strain on the compressor and cause it to wear out faster than usual.

What happens if I don’t clean my AC?

If you don’t clean your AC regularly, several issues can arise, such as the following:

Reduced cooling efficiency
Increased wear and tear
Indoor air quality issues
Mold and mildew growth
Unpleasant odors

Few people will enjoy any of the issues above, so it is essential to make cleaning your AC a priority. This includes cleaning or replacing air filters, cleaning the condenser coils, checking and clearing the drainage system, and scheduling professional maintenance when necessary.

Is it OK to spray water on your air conditioner while running?

As the top AC maintenance specialists, we do not recommend spraying your AC with anything while it is running. Why? It can cause the following problems:

Electrical hazards
Malfunctioning components
Reduced cooling efficiency

If you want to clean your air conditioner, it is best to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for maintenance. Typically, this involves turning off the unit, disconnecting the power supply, and using appropriate cleaning methods, such as gently vacuuming or wiping the external surfaces. For more thorough cleaning, it's advisable to consult a professional HVAC technician who can safely disassemble and clean the unit's internal components.
