The Importance of AC Maintenance

Scheduling regular AC maintenance is crucial to keeping your air conditioning system running as smoothly as possible. Here are some of the benefits of regular HVAC maintenance:

• Maintenance improves AC efficiency, which helps reduce monthly energy bills. Even a simple AC filter replacement reduces energy consumption and help you save.
• Preventative AC maintenance reduces the risk of your system breaking down and extends the AC’s lifespan to protect your investment. This essential maintenance helps prevent costly repairs and frustrating breakdowns during the hot Mount Airy summers.
• AC maintenance, such as filter changes and coil cleaning, improves indoor air quality and provides you and your family with a safe, healthy environment. 
• Many AC/HVAC system manufacturers require homeowners to get regular maintenance to keep their warranty protections valid and intact.
• Some homeowners’ insurance providers won’t cover HVAC and/or AC system issues unless there’s proof of proper maintenance. 

What’s Included in Our AC Maintenance Service?

According to Energy Star, the average household spends around $1,900 per year on energy costs, and nearly half is for heating and cooling. Our routine AC maintenance visits help your system run efficiently, reducing monthly energy bills.

During our AC maintenance service, the expert technicians at Jay’s check fluids, fine-tune parts, and notify you about any issues that need your attention. We’ll perform a thorough AC inspection to look for areas of concern, allowing you to repair smaller problems before they become more serious and expensive issues later.

We offer a variety of maintenance plans to suit your needs and budget. Each plan is designed to provide the necessary maintenance to keep your system running smoothly.

Signs Your AC Needs Maintenance

How do you know when your AC needs maintenance? Here are some signs that may indicate it’s time for a maintenance call:

• Weak or insufficient airflow: You may need a new air filter or a thorough AC cleaning to remove built-up dirt, grime, and debris.
• Odd odors: A musty smell may indicate that the ducts need cleaning, while a burning smell could indicate an issue with the system’s electrical components.
• Blowing warm air: The AC  likely needs an air filter change or a professional coil cleaning to improve airflow and cool air output.
• Sudden increase in energy bills:  It may be time for an AC inspection and maintenance to improve system functionality.
• Thermostat issues: If your thermostat doesn’t reflect your set temperature, it may need re-calibration.
• Short-cycling: ACs that cycle on and off too quickly need prompt attention. Short-cycling indicates that your system needs a tune-up or a repair, depending on the issue.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I have my AC unit serviced or maintained?

Your AC unit should be inspected, maintained, or serviced at least once a year. However, the frequency depends on the age of your system, how often it’s used, and its location. For example, a unit located in a dusty environment may need maintenance more frequently to keep it clean and running optimally. We recommend having your AC unit inspected and serviced in the spring before the summer heat arrives. 

What are the risks of attempting DIY AC maintenance and when should I call a professional for AC maintenance?

You can change the air filter yourself, but there are risks in attempting other forms of AC maintenance. Dealing with high-voltage electrical parts can be extremely dangerous and may pose the risk of a fire or electrical shock. The refrigerants used in AC units are hazardous if handled improperly, and you also run the risk of causing further damage to your system.

It’s best to call a professional for AC maintenance. Consider signs like weak airflow, strange noises or odors, and a sudden increase in your energy bill as signs to call an AC pro.
