What\u2019s Included in Heat Pump and AC Maintenance?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A maintenance appointment is not intended to address a significant problem which you know requires repair. This is a preventive service, intended to dramatically reduce the risk of significant problems ever occurring at all. If your air conditioner or heat pump was working all right the last time you checked, last fall, maintenance is the type of appointment you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maintenance involves meticulously cleaning and lubricating the system, and checking over every component for small concerns like a worn section of coil that could lead to a refrigerant leak, or loose screws that could allow parts to wobble and clatter. Finally, your technician will test electrical wiring and components, helping to prevent inefficiency, poor performance, and safety risks like electrical fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Signs That Your System Needs Professional Repair<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Is it possible that the last time you used your air conditioner or heat pump, it wasn\u2019t running so well? If there are signs that something is wrong, chances are you should schedule AC or heat pump repair before you start to worry about the heat arriving. Let\u2019s get that sorted out for your peace of mind so you can enjoy the beautiful springtime! To help identify those warning signs early, read about odd sounds from your AC and what they might mean<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can you tell that repairs are needed? Common indicators include odd or unexpected noises, unpleasant odors, the system turning off too quickly after starting up, insufficient air or lukewarm air coming from the vents, moisture dripping, icy buildup, or inefficiency that causes increasing electric bills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Filter Maintenance Tips to Extend System Life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

AC and heat pump indoor units have air filters to catch fibers and particles that would otherwise get inside the system, causing friction, overheating, and poor airflow. Make sure you swap out a disposable filter for a new one or clean and replace a reusable filter once a month during the summer. It\u2019ll improve your efficiency and reduce the risk of needing any repairs! If you\u2019re unsure what else should be on your seasonal checklist, check out our summer AC maintenance checklist<\/a> to stay ahead of breakdowns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be good to your cooling system and you\u2019ll enjoy a cool and comfortable summer.
