Home Air Conditioning Maintenance Services
Most of today's filters need to be changed monthly. The components of your AC system need to be cleaned and serviced by a licensed professional at least twice a year. Studies have shown that a lack of proper maintenance reduces equipment efficiency by 5 - 10%.
In addition, most of today's filters must be changed at least every 90 days. Don't skimp on the air filter. Opt for an AC filter with a high-efficiency rating. A high-efficiency filter will help keep your air and HVAC equipment clean.
Our maintenance service includes checking the following:
After thoroughly cleaning your equipment, our service technician will adjust the frequency levels of your air conditioner to meet the manufacturer's specifications. An overcharged unit is just as detrimental to energy consumption as an undercharged unit.
DIY AC Maintenance: What Homeowners Can Do
By properly maintaining your HVAC equipment, it will continue to operate efficiently and reliably. There are several straightforward maintenance tasks you can easily handle on your own. Completing these between our visits will help maximize the performance and comfort of your air conditioning system. By taking preventative measures, you can save significantly on your AC unit's overall lifespan.
Here are some simple tasks homeowners can do themselves:
Keep dirt, debris, grass clippings, and leaves away from the outdoor unit.
Use a hose to clear the aluminum fins from debris. Use a regular hose without a spray nozzle, along with soft brush because the fins bend easily.
Clean dust off of your indoor coil.
Make sure your outdoor unit always stays in a level position.
When you do have a problem with your system, don't wait to call us. The sooner we get to work the better.

A professional diagnosis determines the exact cause of the leak and recommends the appropriate repairs.

Our Testimonials
What People Are Saying About Us
James Thomas Heating and Cooling is such a wonderful professional company. It is by far the superior HVAC company in the area, is still family owned and operated and is super service oriented. We just had a motor go out in our outside unit and they had one of their lead technicians, Scottie, repair the unit even with very slippery mountain roads to contend with. We are back toasty warm in the cabin. I give James Thomas my highest level of referral.
