FAQs
How often should I schedule professional maintenance for my air conditioner in Deer Lodge?
We recommend a comprehensive tune-up once a year, ideally in early spring before the cooling season begins. Annual maintenance keeps efficiencies high, catches small problems early, protects your manufacturer’s warranty, and ensures the system is ready for the hottest weeks of summer in Deer Lodge’s mountain climate.
What does your ‘thorough maintenance’ visit include for an AC system?
Our technician will inspect and tighten electrical connections, test capacitors and contactors, measure refrigerant charge, clean condenser and evaporator coils, flush the condensate drain, replace or wash the air filter, lubricate moving parts, calibrate the thermostat, and run a full performance test to verify proper airflow, temperature split, and safe operation.
Will maintenance really lower my energy bills?
Yes. A clean, well-tuned air conditioner can operate 10-25 % more efficiently than a neglected system. By reducing friction, restoring correct refrigerant levels, and improving airflow, maintenance helps the unit cool faster while using less electricity—saving you money during Deer Lodge’s warm summer months.
Can the same visit cover my furnace or heat pump?
Absolutely. We offer combined heating and cooling maintenance packages. During the same appointment, we’ll service your furnace, heat pump, or dual-fuel system, ensuring both heating and cooling components are inspected, cleaned, and adjusted for reliable year-round comfort.
How long does a typical AC maintenance appointment take?
A standard air-conditioning tune-up in Deer Lodge generally takes 60–90 minutes. If we discover issues such as low refrigerant, worn blower belts, or dirty coils that require extra work, we’ll explain the findings, provide up-front pricing, and complete repairs the same day whenever possible.
Is preventative maintenance worth it for a newer air conditioner?
Yes. Even systems that are only a year or two old benefit from professional maintenance. Routine service preserves the equipment’s efficiency rating, extends the compressor’s life, validates most manufacturers’ warranties, and documents a history of care that helps maintain resale value if you sell your Deer Lodge home.
