FAQs
How often should I schedule routine air-conditioning maintenance in Fayetteville’s climate?
Because Fayetteville experiences hot, humid summers and pollen-heavy spring seasons, we recommend professional maintenance once a year—preferably in early spring before the cooling load peaks. Annual service ensures the system is clean, properly charged, and ready for extended run times, which helps prevent mid-season breakdowns.
What does your routine AC maintenance service include?
Our tune-up covers a 20-plus-point checklist: cleaning or replacing filters, washing condenser coils, inspecting the evaporator coil, checking refrigerant pressures, tightening electrical connections, testing capacitors, calibrating thermostat settings, clearing the condensate drain, lubricating moving parts, and verifying overall system performance. We finish with a written report and any repair recommendations.
Can regular maintenance really lower my energy bills?
Yes. A clean, properly adjusted system can operate 10–30 % more efficiently than a neglected one. Removing dirt from coils improves heat transfer, correct refrigerant charge prevents excess compressor run time, and a new filter restores proper airflow. Those improvements reduce the number of hours your AC runs, directly lowering monthly utility costs.
Will routine AC maintenance extend the life of my system?
Absolutely. Annual service reduces wear on key components such as the compressor, blower motor, and capacitors. By spotting and correcting issues like low refrigerant, loose wiring, or blocked drains early, we prevent major failures that shorten equipment life. Most manufacturers estimate that regular maintenance can add 3–5 years to the average 12–15-year lifespan of a residential AC in Fayetteville.
What signs indicate I’m overdue for air-conditioner maintenance?
Watch for weak airflow, uneven temperatures, higher than normal electric bills, musty odors, water around the indoor unit, or unusual noises when the system starts. These symptoms often point to dirty coils, clogged drains, or failing parts—issues that a routine maintenance visit can quickly correct before they escalate into costly repairs.
Is maintenance necessary if my air conditioner is still under warranty?
Yes. Most manufacturer warranties require documented annual maintenance by a licensed HVAC professional to keep coverage valid. Skipping tune-ups can void your parts warranty, leaving you responsible for repairs. Annual service also gives you a written record of system condition, which can be helpful for future warranty or home resale claims.
