FAQs
Why is preventive maintenance important for my air conditioner in Niota’s climate?
Niota experiences humid summers and frequent temperature swings, conditions that force your air conditioner to work harder. Preventive maintenance keeps coils clean, refrigerant levels correct, and electrical parts tight so the system can handle these demands without premature wear. Routine tune-ups reduce the likelihood of mid-season breakdowns, help your unit cool more efficiently, and extend its overall life expectancy—often by several years.
What does your AC preventive maintenance visit include?
Our certified technician follows a 20-plus-point checklist: 1) inspect and clean condenser and evaporator coils, 2) test refrigerant charge and look for leaks, 3) tighten electrical connections, 4) measure motor amperage and voltage, 5) lubricate moving parts, 6) clear and treat the condensate drain line, 7) calibrate thermostat, 8) check and replace standard air filter, 9) verify system start-up and shut-down cycles, and 10) document all findings with recommendations. You receive a written report before we leave.
How often should I schedule preventive maintenance for my cooling system?
For most homes in Niota, we recommend one comprehensive air-conditioning tune-up every spring before the summer heat arrives. Systems that run year-round, serve larger households, or sit near dusty/agricultural areas may benefit from a mid-season inspection as well. Signing up for our annual maintenance plan ensures you never miss a service date and locks in priority scheduling and discounted rates.
Can preventive maintenance lower my energy bills?
Yes. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, a well-maintained AC can operate up to 15% more efficiently than a neglected one. Clean coils transfer heat better, correct refrigerant levels prevent excess run time, and aligned blower components improve airflow. Over a single cooling season, many customers see energy savings that offset a significant portion of the maintenance cost.
Do you service all brands and types of air conditioning systems?
Absolutely. Our technicians are trained and EPA-certified to maintain central split systems, heat pumps, mini-split ductless units, and packaged rooftop equipment from all major manufacturers—including Trane, Carrier, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, and others. If replacement parts are required, we use OEM or high-quality equivalent components to preserve your system warranty.
Is your preventive maintenance plan covered by a warranty or satisfaction guarantee?
Yes. All work performed during a maintenance visit is backed by a 30-day labor warranty, and any parts we install carry at least a one-year manufacturer’s warranty. More importantly, our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee means if you’re not happy with the service for any reason, we’ll return to make it right at no extra charge. Joining our plan also grants you priority emergency service—usually within 24 hours—even during peak summer demand.
