FAQs
How often should I schedule maintenance for my air conditioner in Athens?
For most Athens-area homes, we recommend professional maintenance once a year—ideally in early spring before the intense summer heat arrives. If you run your system heavily or have older equipment, scheduling a fall check-up as well can help keep performance consistent year-round.
What does a typical AC maintenance visit include?
Our technicians perform a multi-point inspection that covers cleaning condenser and evaporator coils, checking refrigerant levels and pressures, tightening electrical connections, lubricating moving parts, testing thermostat calibration, inspecting the condensate drain, and verifying overall system performance. We finish with a detailed report and any repair recommendations.
Can regular maintenance really lower my energy bills during Athens’ hot summers?
Yes. A clean, properly tuned air conditioner can operate up to 20% more efficiently than a neglected one. Reduced friction, optimal airflow, and correct refrigerant charge mean your system reaches set temperatures faster and cycles less often—directly lowering monthly utility costs.
How does ongoing maintenance extend the life of my HVAC system?
Routine inspections catch small issues—such as worn belts, loose wiring, or low refrigerant—before they escalate into major failures. By minimizing stress on critical components like the compressor and blower motor, maintenance can add 3–5 years or more to equipment life while preserving manufacturer warranty coverage.
Are there any maintenance tasks I can handle myself between professional visits?
Homeowners can keep filters clean or replace them every 1–3 months, clear debris away from the outdoor unit, ensure indoor vents are unobstructed, and occasionally rinse the condenser coils with a gentle garden-hose spray (power off first). These simple steps improve airflow and system efficiency between tune-ups.
