How Often Should an AC System Be Serviced?

HVAC experts and manufacturers alike recommend having your AC system professionally serviced at least once per year. It is also recommended that you have your air conditioner serviced during spring, so your system is prepared to beat the summer heat.

Regular maintenance is the key to your peace of mind. It helps ensure that your AC system runs efficiently and can help identify and address any potential problems before they become major issues.

Additional benefits of air conditioning maintenance include:

• Extended lifespan: Proper maintenance helps to prolong the lifespan of your AC unit. By addressing minor issues early on and keeping the system clean and well-maintained, you can avoid costly repairs or premature replacement.
• Enhanced indoor air quality: Routine maintenance includes cleaning or replacing air filters, which helps to improve indoor air quality by reducing dust, allergens, and pollutants circulating in your home.
• Optimal cooling performance: With regular maintenance, your AC system will be able to cool your home more effectively and evenly. This ensures a comfortable living environment, especially during hot summer months.
• Prevents costly breakdowns: Regular inspections and tune-ups can help identify and address problems before they get a chance to worsen. This proactive approach can save you from unexpected and costly repairs.

What Maintenance Should Be Done on an AC Unit?

Each AC system has different maintenance requirements based on the type of unit and manufacturer’s guidelines, but to ensure the proper functioning and longevity of any AC unit, several maintenance tasks should be performed.

Here are some common AC maintenance tasks:

• Change or clean air filters: Regularly replacing or cleaning the air filters promotes good airflow and prevents dust and debris from accumulating. This improves the efficiency of your AC system and helps maintain good indoor air quality.
• Clean the condenser unit: Clear any debris – such as leaves or dirt – from the external condenser unit. This includes trimming shrubs or plants around the unit to ensure adequate airflow.
• Check and clean the condensate drain: The condensate drain pipe can get clogged with algae and debris, leading to water leaks or inefficient draining. Check and clean the drainpipe to prevent potential issues.
• Check and tighten electrical connections: Ensure that all electrical connections are tight and secure. Loose connections can lead to system malfunctions or even electrical hazards.
• Lubricate moving parts: Apply lubricant to the motor bearings and other moving parts as specified by the manufacturer. This reduces friction and extends the lifespan of these components.
• Check thermostat settings: Verify that the thermostat is set correctly and functioning properly. Calibration or battery replacement may be necessary.
