When the summer heat hits, the last thing you want is a malfunctioning air conditioner. Yet, many homeowners only think about AC maintenance when it stops cooling properly or starts making strange noises by then, small issues have already turned into expensive repairs.
At Climate Care Solutions, we believe in preventive maintenance to keep your cooling system efficient, reliable, and long-lasting. Here’s your ultimate AC servicing checklist to ensure your home stays perfectly cool all season long.
1. Check and Clean the Air Filters
Poor airflow and weak cooling.
Dirty filters block air circulation, forcing your system to work harder and increasing energy bills.
Clean or replace air filters every 30–60 days, especially during heavy use.
2. Inspect the Condenser and Evaporator Coils
Reduced cooling performance.
Dust and debris buildup on coils make it harder for your AC to absorb and release heat.
Schedule professional coil cleaning to restore efficiency and prevent overheating.
3. Examine the Refrigerant Level
AC blowing warm air or taking longer to cool.
Low refrigerant means there’s likely a leak, which not only reduces performance but can damage the compressor.
Have a technician check refrigerant levels and seal any leaks immediately.
4. Clean the Drain Line and Pan
Water leakage or moldy smell indoors.
A clogged condensate drain can lead to water backup and mold growth.
Flush the drain line regularly and ensure the pan is dry and clean.
5. Check the Thermostat Settings
Uneven cooling or wasted energy.
If your thermostat isn’t calibrated correctly, your system may run longer than necessary.
Test the thermostat accuracy or upgrade to a smart thermostat for better control.
6. Inspect Electrical Connections and Components
Sudden system shutdown or burning smell.
Loose wires or worn-out electrical components can cause dangerous short circuits.
A technician should tighten connections and check for worn-out parts during each service.
7. Lubricate Moving Parts
Strange noises or system strain.
Friction in motors and fans reduces efficiency and increases wear.
Proper lubrication ensures smooth operation and extends your AC’s lifespan.
8. Test System Performance
Cooling inconsistencies after servicing.
Even after cleaning, your system may still have airflow or temperature issues if not tested.
Always request a full performance test from your technician after servicing.
When Should You Schedule Professional AC Servicing?
Ideally, twice a year before summer and before winter. Regular maintenance helps:
- Reduce electricity bills
- Prevent costly breakdowns
- Improve air quality
- Extend the system’s life
