Maintenance Keeps Your System Clean
There is no cooling system on the market that can perform well if it’s covered in dirt, dust, and other debris. During your maintenance appointment, our HVAC technicians will thoroughly clean each component of your AC system, including the coils and motors. Clearing debris away from your outside condenser unit is also a good idea, as to prevent any obstructions to airflow.
Refrigerant Levels Must Be Checked
Many homeowners don’t realize the importance of their system’s refrigerant. This combination of fluids is what makes the cooling power of your air conditioner possible.
