What Really Happens During an AC Maintenance Visit?

Many of our customers have never thought before to call a technician to their homes when there doesn’t appear to be anything wrong with their AC systems. But after they hear of the benefits of a routine air conditioning maintenance visit, customers see that this valuable service can only help them out. Air conditioning maintenance, usually best when performed at the beginning of the cooling season (in the spring) can help your air conditioner to perform better, keep it from breaking down too soon, and lower your monthly bills. So what happens during an AC maintenance visit?

Inspection

What it is: First, a technician typically performs a thorough inspection of the AC unit. If your technician finds that anything is not working, they’ll report the problem back to you. If it’s something minor, they may be able to repair it on the spot. Otherwise, you may have to schedule a repair appointment for a later date.

How this helps you: The sooner you find out about a problem with your AC, the sooner you can get fixed. Running an air conditioner with a broken component raises energy bills, and waiting too long to seek repairs could cause the system to break down prematurely.

Cleaning and Adjustment

What it is: A technician may notice that parts of your system need adjustment, on top of some routine adjustments and a coil cleaning included with any maintenance visit (from a quality company). Electrical connections might be tightened, moving parts might be lubricated, and the outside condenser coil should be cleaned off so that the heat exchange process can work efficiently.

How it helps: This step keeps things running smoothly, potentially reducing your bills since the parts can run smoothly after everything is tuned up to be in peak condition. You’ll be less likely to experience problems throughout the season as well, and over time, this step can extend your system’s lifespan and reduce the need for AC repair in Miami, FL.
