AC Maintenance in Los Angeles
A pre-summer tune-up that keeps your air conditioner cooling properly when the Valley heat arrives.
AC maintenance, done properly
AC maintenance is a scheduled cleaning and inspection of your air conditioning. A licensed technician cleans the parts that clog, checks the parts that wear, and measures how the system performs under load.
That covers the outdoor condenser coil, the indoor coil and drain line, refrigerant pressures, electrical parts such as capacitors and contactors, and the airflow through your filter and blower.
In Los Angeles an air conditioner can run for months at a time. Dirty coils and weak parts make it work harder, and a tune-up finds them before they become a breakdown on the hottest day of the year.
Good times for a tune-up
- Your AC hasn't been serviced in the last year
- Before summer and the first heat wave
- Cooling feels weaker than it used to
- Your electric bills have crept up
- The outdoor unit is covered in dust or debris
Every AC tune-up covers
- Outdoor condenser coil cleaned
- Indoor coil and condensate drain line checked and cleared
- Refrigerant pressures and temperatures measured
- Capacitor, contactor and electrical connections tested
- Thermostat and a full cooling cycle tested
- A clear summary of what we found and anything that needs attention
Honest note: if your AC is already blowing warm air, leaking water or tripping the breaker, book a repair instead. A tune-up won't fix a failed part, and we'll tell you if we find one.
AC Maintenance questions
How often should my AC be serviced?
Once a year, ideally in spring before you start running it every day.
Do you service ductless mini-splits and package units?
Yes. We maintain split systems, package units, heat pumps and ductless mini-splits.
What if you find a problem during the tune-up?
We explain what we found and what the fix involves. Nothing gets repaired without your go-ahead.
Will maintenance lower my energy bills?
A clean, properly charged system doesn't have to work as hard, which helps keep running costs down. How much depends on the condition of your system.
