Why is Preventative Maintenance Important?

Your air conditioning system works hard to keep your home cool, and just like any other mechanical system, it requires regular attention to function at its best. By scheduling preventative maintenance twice a year, once before the summer and once before the winter, you can catch minor ac repair issues before they become major problems and ensure that your system is prepared for the demands of the season.

Benefits of Regular AC Maintenance:

Increased Energy Efficiency:
Improved Indoor Air Quality
Better Comfort and Performance
Extended System Lifespan:
Fewer Breakdowns and Repairs

How is AC Maintenance Done Properly?

At FL HVAC Services, our preventative AC maintenance service follows manufacturer recommendations to ensure your system is maintained according to industry standards. Here’s what you can expect during a typical maintenance visit:

  • Thorough Inspection of All Components: Our technicians will inspect your entire AC system, including the compressor, condenser, evaporator coil, blower motor, and electrical connections. We check for wear and tear, leaks, and any signs of potential issues.
  • Cleaning of Coils and Fins: Over time, dirt and debris can accumulate on your system’s coils and fins, reducing their ability to transfer heat. We clean these components to restore their efficiency and improve overall system performance.
  • Filter Replacement: A clean air filter is crucial for both system efficiency and indoor air quality. During maintenance, we replace your air filters to ensure proper airflow and reduce strain on your system.
  • Refrigerant Level Check: Low refrigerant levels can affect your system’s ability to cool your home effectively. We check refrigerant levels and ensure they are within the manufacturer’s recommended range, preventing inefficient operation and potential damage to the system.
  • Ductwork Inspection: Leaky or poorly insulated ductwork can waste a significant amount of cooled air, leading to higher energy bills and uneven cooling. We inspect your ductwork for any issues and recommend repairs if necessary.
  • Thermostat Calibration: A properly calibrated thermostat ensures your AC system is cooling your home accurately and efficiently. We test and calibrate your thermostat as part of our maintenance service.
  • Air Flow Room To Room: Proper airflow is crucial for your AC system's performance and efficiency.

Manufacturer-Recommended Twice-Yearly Maintenance

Most AC manufacturers recommend having your system professionally serviced twice a year—once before the summer cooling season and once before winter. This schedule allows for timely tune-ups that prepare your system for the season’s demands, helping you avoid breakdowns during peak usage times.

By adhering to the manufacturer’s guidelines, you protect your system’s warranty and ensure that it continues to run at its best. Neglecting regular maintenance can lead to premature wear and tear, voiding your warranty and leaving you with costly repair bills.
