LA homeowners rely heavily on cooling throughout the year, and like all other machines, air conditioners do break down with time. Indeed, because an air conditioner has many interconnected components, it’s easy for a small problem to turn into an expensive and potentially dangerous issue. The way to avoid those emerging problems is to invest in annual air conditioning maintenance. We think that prevention is the best approach to air conditioning service and repair, and we make maintenance a core part of our business to help keep you and your family cool.

Every air conditioner is different, of course, but every make and model use the same basic components. Having serviced hundreds of air conditioners in our time in business, we’ve created a fairly comprehensive list of steps to make sure your air conditioner is in good working order. Here are a few:

• Inspecting and lubricating all moving parts
• Checking the refrigerant level and recharge if necessary
• Checking and calibrating the thermostat
• Inspecting blower assembly
• Checking wires for rust and corrosion and tighten any loose connections
• Cleaning or changing the air filter

In addition to those basic steps, our technicians will thoroughly inspect your air conditioner to see if any further maintenance is required and take care of any emerging issues.

Far and away the greatest benefit of having your air conditioner professionally maintained is prevention. It’s easy for a small issue, when left unchecked, to turn into a major problem that will lead to an expensive repair or even system replacement. We’d prefer to fix that small issue while it’s still small and save you the money and effort down the road, and our maintenance team will do just that.

However, you won’t have to wait months or years to reap the benefits of good air conditioning maintenance. During each service visit, our technicians will clean your entire system, adjust any components that are out of place and calibrate the entire system for maximum efficiency. The upshot is that your air conditioner will use less electricity to provide the same cooling power, and you’ll see the difference on your utility bills. In other words, you’ll save money two ways: In the short term, your electric bill will go down, and in the long term, you’ll get more use out of your air conditioner and spend less on repairs and replacement.

Preventative maintenance is one of the best investments you can make in your air conditioner, and beyond those financial benefits, there’s invaluable peace of mind that comes with good air conditioning service. You’ll be able to rest assured that your essential cooling system has been inspected and serviced by a highly qualified certified technicians.
