Improved air quality

Preventative AC Maintenance Plans

Remember, regular maintenance is the key to getting the most out of your new AC system. Your new equipment must be cleaned and serviced by a licensed professional at least twice yearly. Skipping routine tune-ups can reduce your system's efficiency by 5 - 10% - increasing your power bill and costing you money.

During a quality maintenance service like James Thomas Heating and Cooling offers, the service technician will thoroughly clean your AC unit and adjust the Freon levels in your system to the manufacturer's specifications.

Also, make sure to change your air filter monthly. Avoid cheap filters and opt for one with a high efficiency rating to help keep your air and equipment clean. Call or text us today to sign up for our AC maintenance plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

James Thomas Icon

Common AC cooling problems include dirty air filters, low refrigerant levels, frozen evaporator coils, malfunctioning compressors, or thermostat issues. Change filters monthly during summer and call a professional if problems persist after basic troubleshooting. Regular maintenance prevents most cooling issues.

Signs of low refrigerant include warm air from vents, ice forming on indoor/outdoor units, and energy bills increasing 20% or more. Refrigerant should only be handled by qualified technicians for both safety and legal compliance purposes. Never attempt DIY refrigerant repairs.

Turn off your AC immediately and call a qualified technician. Strange noises can indicate serious problems that could escalate and become more expensive to repair if ignored, potentially leading to costly component damage. Continuing the operation may worsen the problem significantly.

Change AC filters every 1-3 months, or more frequently if you have pets, allergies, or live in dusty areas. 4-inch specialty filters can last up to 6 months, depending on the air environment and system usage. Check filters monthly during peak seasons.

AC repair warning signs include weak airflow, unusual noises, frequent cycling, water leaks, high humidity levels, and increased energy bills. Schedule repair service immediately if you notice any of these symptoms to prevent more expensive damage and system failures.

Establish a relationship with one trusted HVAC company for the fastest response times. Most HVAC companies prioritize repeat, loyal customers above someone calling multiple companies for the best service and fastest response time. Building relationships ensures priority scheduling during emergencies.

Excessive moisture from rain, condensation, and humidity causes AC corrosion. Another surprising source is pet urine—create barriers preventing pets from accessing units to prevent premature corrosion and component failure. Regular cleaning helps prevent corrosion damage to coils and components.

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.
