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:

Operating pressures
Refrigerant charge
Filter condition
Compressor
Fan motor
Capacitors
Belts
Clean drains
Clean Outdoor Coils
Lubrication of moving parts

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.

Our team also provides routine HVAC maintenance for business owners. You naturally expect the AC at your business to work all year long, just like your system at home. When the air conditioning quits, it can equal lost inventory and customers. The best choice you can make when protecting your HVAC system is staying on top of regular tune-ups.

Signing up for our commercial maintenance plans is easy for business owners. Our techs will carefully inspect each component to check for existing or potential problems. After the inspection, the entire system will be cleaned and calibrated for maximum performance. Call us to learn more about our maintenance plan or commercial AC services.

Frequently Asked Questions

James Thomas Icon

A typical AC maintenance service includes cleaning the condenser and evaporator coils, checking refrigerant levels, inspecting and tightening electrical connections, lubricating moving parts, testing the thermostat, and replacing the air filter.

A clogged condensate drain line, frozen evaporator coil, or low refrigerant levels can cause water leaks. Regular maintenance helps prevent these issues.

To prevent freezing, regularly change air filters, ensure proper airflow by keeping furniture and objects away from the return air vents, clean the evaporator coils, and check refrigerant levels. If freezing occurs, turn off the unit and call a professional.

AC maintenance plans are well worth the money spent. Oftentimes, the cost of the plan is recouped in lower utility bills. In addition, most companies offer their maintenance customers priority service and discounts on repairs.

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.
