AC Maintenance FAQs
The national average cost to service your air conditioning unit or system is between $50 and $140. What you spend is determined by whether your HVAC technician does a basic tune-up and cleaning or if they detect any significant problems with your air conditioner that need to be repaired.
We suggest that your home air conditioning system be serviced at least once a year. The same is true of your heating system. An annual air conditioner service appointment is always necessary to guarantee that you get the most out of your time, money and the life and safety of your AC system.
Changing air filters is an important aspect of maintaining your HVAC unit. Dirty filters are a very common cause of your system not performing as well as it could or shutting off entirely. So, be sure to check your filters for dust and debris every month and change it at least every 90 days or more often if you have pets.
An air conditioner's yearly maintenance requires expert hands and should not be treated lightly because there are various aspects that require careful calibration and inspection. A lot of problems may be avoided by having your HVAC system serviced on a regular basis.
Cleaning your AC unit significantly enhances its performance by ensuring unobstructed airflow through the removal of debris from filters and coils, which is crucial for efficient cooling. This leads to increased efficiency, as a clean system operates more smoothly, thereby reducing energy consumption and lowering utility bills. Moreover, clean evaporator coils prevent ice formation that can impair the AC's cooling ability, while regular cleaning minimizes wear and tear on components, thereby extending the unit’s operational life. Additionally, removing dust and allergens from the system improves the air quality inside your home.
