St. Petersburg AC Maintenance

What’s Included in AC Maintenance?

A comprehensive air conditioning maintenance service typically includes several tasks designed to promote optimal system performance and longevity. While specifics of each service visit can vary depending on the type of air conditioning system you have—such as central AC, ductless mini-splits, or window units— and what your system needs, most professional maintenance packages will include the following common tasks:

• Cleaning or replacing the air filter
• Checking and tightening electrical connections
• Inspecting the thermostat and calibrating it if necessary
• Examining the evaporator and condenser coils for dirt buildup
• Assessing refrigerant levels and checking for leaks
• Inspecting ductwork connections for any obstructions or leaks
• Lubricating moving parts to prevent wear and tear
• Checking drainage systems for blockages and proper flow

Maintenance requirements can differ based on what type of system you have and how old your air conditioner is. By tailoring our services to your system, we provide customers with exactly what their specific system needs to perform its best. It also gives us an opportunity to review and address any signs of a serious problem with you before they could cause a potentially frustrating breakdown.

Is AC Maintenance Really Necessary?

Will your air conditioner run if it isn't maintained? Probably. However, there is a definitive difference between running and running the way it should. If your air conditioner is not running how it should, it could cause some serious headaches later on. Conversely, with regular professional maintenance, your air conditioner will be able to perform far closer to its absolute best for much longer as it ages.

Annual air conditioning maintenance is essential for homeowners for several reasons. First, it helps your system operate much closer to its peak efficiency, particularly during the sweltering summer months when demand for cooling increases significantly. Running more efficiently means less wear and tear and less energy consumption, meaning better cooling for less money!

Regular maintenance also helps identify minor issues before they escalate into major problems. By addressing these concerns early with routine check-ups, you can enjoy a comfortable home that's less likely to experience an emergency that requires immediate attention.

Finally, maintaining your air conditioning system contributes to better indoor air quality. A well-maintained unit creates a healthy living environment by effectively filtering out dust, allergens, and other pollutants. During a professional maintenance service, technicians check and replace your HVAC filter and thoroughly clean vital components, including the coils and filters. Therefore, scheduling annual maintenance is not only about keeping your system running efficiently; it’s also about safeguarding your health and well-being within your home.

We highly recommend having your AC maintained professionally once a year because trained technicians have the expertise and tools necessary to assess the condition of your system accurately. Typically, we recommend having this done in early spring, before the temperatures start to rise again. This way, your system is prepared for long hours of use, and you maximize your savings throughout the cooling season.
