HVAC Maintenance FAQs

We recommend getting annual routine maintenance for your air conditioning system. If you schedule your AC maintenance in the springtime, that will better prepare you for the hottest days of the DFW summer! Doing another check for your heating system as fall begins is another great timing option.

During your AC maintenance service, our technicians will:

  • Thoroughly clean AC equipment, including the cooling coils, to prevent any internal damage
  • Clean out the integrated whole-home dehumidifier if applicable.
  • Clean the electronic air cleaner along with checking the UV antibacterial light, if applicable
  • Look over and lubricate moving parts in need, including bearings, to help limit noise and any wear-and-tear
  • Will verify the blower motor and compressor voltage
  • Evaluate refrigerant pressure while checking for leaks
  • Check out all electrical connections
  • Calibrate the thermostat to match temperature properly
  • Verify proper airflow through your home
  • Inspect the air exchanger for damage and perform tests for proper functionality.
  • Check for any moving debris in your duct system, as well as air duct damage and possible leaks
  • Examine all moving parts and belts for wear and tear
  • Test the AC system safety features
  • Change out the AC filter if needed
  • Provide you with a full report, including repairs that may be required in the future

SEER stands for seasonal energy efficiency ratio and represents the measurement and efficiency of your cooling and heating equipment. The SEER rating is the overall amount of cooling your system can deliver per dollar spent on electricity in comparison to other systems.

There are quite a few things you can do for your AC unit to run efficiently. Since air filters can become so dirty that they can’t perform their air-filtering function, make sure to change your air filter every four weeks. This way, your indoor air quality won’t be compromised. A dirty and worn filter can also block your AC from circulating cool air. 

 You can also clean the outdoor air compressor with water from your garden hose. And finally, clear away dirt, leaves, and any other debris from the compressor to help ensure the free flow of air!
