FAQs
How often should I schedule routine maintenance for my air conditioner in Flintville?
For Flintville’s warm, humid summers, we recommend professional air-conditioning maintenance once a year, ideally in early spring (March–April). This timing ensures your system is cleaned, tuned, and tested before heavy summer use. Homes with pets, high pollen exposure, or occupants with allergies may benefit from a mid-season filter check as well.
What does your routine AC maintenance visit include?
A typical visit lasts 60–90 minutes and covers: 1) thermostat calibration and control check; 2) replacement or cleaning of standard 1" filters; 3) inspection and cleaning of condenser and evaporator coils; 4) clearing and treatment of the condensate drain; 5) lubrication of motors and bearings; 6) tightening of electrical connections; 7) refrigerant pressure and temperature checks; 8) verification of blower performance and airflow; 9) safety and efficiency test cycle. You receive a written report with any recommendations before we leave.
Will maintenance really lower my energy bills?
Yes. Dirty coils and low refrigerant levels force your AC to run longer, raising energy use by up to 20 %. A tuned system operates at its designed SEER rating, meaning cooler air with less electricity. Most customers in Flintville see their summer utility bills drop enough to offset the cost of the maintenance visit within one season.
Can you service any brand or age of air conditioner?
Absolutely. Our EPA-certified technicians are trained on all major brands—Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Ruud, York, and more. Even if your unit is 15–20 years old or uses R-22 refrigerant, we can maintain it safely, though we’ll let you know if replacement might be more cost-effective.
What are the signs I should schedule maintenance before my regular appointment?
Call us sooner if you notice: weak airflow, warm spots in the house, short cycling, unusual noises, musty odors, ice on the outdoor unit, or an unexplained spike in your electric bill. Addressing these issues quickly can prevent larger, more expensive failures.
Do you offer a maintenance plan, and what are its benefits?
Yes. Our Comfort Shield Plan includes two seasonal tune-ups (spring AC and fall furnace), priority same-day service, 15 % repair discount, no after-hours fees, and a transferable agreement that adds value if you sell your home. Members also lock in today’s maintenance price for the life of the plan.
