Rancho Cordova AC Maintenance

How You Can Benefit from Routine AC Maintenance

A little care goes a long way when it comes to your air conditioner. Regular services can keep it up and running and significantly reduce the likelihood of a breakdown that leaves you stranded in the heat. But enhancing reliability isn’t the only benefit of professional maintenance. 

Others include:

• Improve energy efficiency – A system with dirty components, worn parts, and improperly calibrated systems will consume more energy than necessary. With routine upkeep, you can eliminate these issues and potentially lower monthly utility costs as a result. 
• Longer equipment lifespan – Cooling systems that receive regular professional care often experience less wear and tear over time, which can maximize their lifespan.
• Protect indoor air quality – Clean, properly functioning cooling systems can contribute to healthier indoor air and reduce the circulation of dust and other airborne contaminants.
• Provide greater peace of mind – Knowing your system has been professionally inspected before the summer heat sets in can help you feel more confident. 

For even greater value, ask about our Whole Home Care Membership. Members receive seasonal HVAC maintenance, annual plumbing inspections, discounted diagnostics, and priority service, among other perks. 

AC Maintenance FAQs

When Should I Schedule AC Maintenance?

The spring is generally an ideal time. Getting your air conditioner inspected and serviced before the summer allows you to resolve any issues that could arise when the temperatures are at their hottest. 

However, you may want to schedule maintenance more frequently if you have an older system or notice signs of inefficiency and underperformance. 

What Maintenance Tasks Can I Do Myself?

Some of the things you can do to support your air conditioner’s performance include:

• Replacing air filters regularly
• Keeping supply and return vents clear
• Removing debris from around the outdoor unit
• Monitoring thermostat performance
• Watching for unusual sounds, odors, or performance changes

While these tasks are helpful, you shouldn’t skip professional maintenance. Technicians like ours can catch things the untrained eye might miss and perform services and cleaning that are difficult (if not impossible) to do without the right equipment and knowledge. 

How Do I Know if My AC Needs Maintenance, Repair, or a Replacement?

Signs that your system may need more than a tune-up include:

• Frequent breakdowns
• Rising energy bills despite maintenance
• Uneven cooling throughout your home
• Persistent airflow problems
• Refrigerant leaks
• Major component failures
• An aging system nearing the end of its expected lifespan (generally, this is 12 to 15 years)

Is AC Maintenance Really Worth It?
