FAQs
Why is routine maintenance important for my air conditioner in Kodak?
Kodak’s hot, humid summers put heavy demand on your cooling system. Routine maintenance keeps critical components clean, lubricated, and properly adjusted, which prevents unexpected breakdowns, extends equipment life, maintains manufacturer warranty coverage, and can improve efficiency by 15–20%. A well-maintained unit keeps your home comfortable even during the peak July and August heat while lowering operating costs and reducing the risk of costly emergency repairs.
How often should I schedule HVAC maintenance?
We recommend two precision tune-ups per year: an air-conditioning service each spring and a heating service each fall. This timing ensures your system is ready before Kodak’s seasonal temperature swings arrive. If your equipment is older than 10 years, runs constantly, or supports a business facility with higher usage, you may benefit from quarterly inspections.
What does a routine A/C maintenance visit include?
Our certified technicians follow a 20-plus-point checklist. Key tasks include: • Checking refrigerant charge and pressure • Cleaning condenser and evaporator coils • Inspecting ductwork and air handler • Tightening electrical connections and testing capacitors • Flushing condensate drain to prevent water damage and mold • Lubricating motors and bearings • Replacing or washing the air filter • Verifying thermostat calibration • Measuring temperature differentials and system amperage. You receive a written report with any recommendations so you know exactly how your equipment is performing.
Will maintenance really lower my energy bills?
Yes. Dirt buildup as thin as 1/100 inch on coils can cut efficiency by 5%. Clogged filters, low refrigerant, or misaligned belts make the system run longer and harder, using more electricity. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that regular HVAC tune-ups can save homeowners 10–30% on cooling costs. In Kodak, where A/C can operate 1,200+ hours per year, those savings quickly offset the modest cost of a maintenance plan.
Can I perform any air-conditioning maintenance tasks myself?
Homeowners can do three easy things:1) Replace or clean the air filter every 30–60 days during cooling season. 2) Keep the outdoor condenser clear of grass clippings, leaves, and debris, allowing at least two feet of airflow around the unit. 3) Make sure supply and return vents inside are not blocked by furniture or rugs. All other tasks—especially those involving refrigerant, electrical testing, or internal components—should be left to licensed HVAC professionals for safety and warranty protection.
