Signs Your AC Needs Maintenance
Your heating and air conditioning systems, no matter the make or model, should receive preventative maintenance at least once per year to ensure the highest operating efficiencies, lower utility bills, and reduced risk of serious, costly repairs or replacement parts.
Typically, you’ll want to service your air conditioning system in early Spring before the temperatures start to increase, but any maintenance in the middle of the Spring or Summer will help enhance the performance of your HVAC system.
Not sure if your AC unit needs a tune-up? Look out for these signs:
Reduced airflow or uneven cooling
Strange noises or odors from the unit
Higher than usual energy bills
Frequent cycling on and off
If you notice any of these issues, it’s time to schedule a maintenance visit.
The Benefits of Regular Air Conditioning Maintenance
Our goal is to make sure you’re comfortable in your home or business. Many people don’t realize that a huge part of ensuring you stay comfortable is scheduling preventative maintenance visits from a certified HVAC technician. Your air conditioning system requires regular maintenance to continue operating at optimal levels, just like your car.
Regular AC maintenance offers numerous benefits, including:
Increased Energy Efficiency: Clean and well-maintained systems use less energy, leading to lower utility bills.
Extended Equipment Lifespan: Regular maintenance can help your HVAC system last longer, saving you money on replacements or repair visits.
Improved Indoor Air Quality: Clean filters and components reduce circulation of dust in your indoor air. This attention to detail helps create a healthier environment by reducing the presence of airborne contaminants. (*Filters provided by customers or available for purchase.)
Reduced Risk of Breakdowns: Early detection of issues can prevent unexpected and costly repairs.
Enhance System Performance: A maintenance or Tune-Up can fine-tune various components, optimize airflow, and address any issues that may hinder performance of your system. This results in your system running more efficiently, cooling your home more effectively, and reducing wear and tear on the unit, ultimately leading to a more comfortable living space and lower energy costs.
What’s Included in Our A/C Maintenance Services
When you choose TemperaturePro for your AC maintenance, you receive a thorough inspection and cleaning of your system. Our HVAC technicians perform the following tasks:
System Operation Testing: Our technicians test the thermostat calibration, ensure safety controls are in place, and check the overall start-up cycle of your HVAC system.
Refrigerant Level Check: We attach our gauges to the HVAC system and measure refrigerant levels to ensure the system is functioning within the proper range. Low refrigerant levels will affect system performance and may indicate a refrigerant leak.
Electrical System Inspection: We proactively check the voltage and amp draw of all major electrical components. A high amp draw, outside of the normal range, may indicate an underlying issue which can be addressed prior to the system breaking down and a more costly repair.
Ductwork Inspection: The level of ductwork inspections varies per location and across different regions, however all TemperaturPro locations will ensure proper airflow across the system and throughout the home.
Heating System Check (if applicable): We conduct a critical combustion analysis to detect carbon monoxide (CO) leaks and assess oxygen levels, which can reveal a cracked heat exchanger. We also test the ignitor, flame sensor, and pressure switch, and clean the burners to ensure safety and optimal performance.
And much, much more! Call TemperaturePro today for a complete list of AC maintenance services performed.
How a Dirty, Clogged Air Filter Impacts A/C Performance
A Clean Air Filter Is a Happy Air Filter. When your air filter gets too dirty, it forces your A/C to work much harder than necessary. This overworking causes your air conditioning system to use more energy, which increases your utility bills.
A clogged air filter can also cause the air conditioner to overheat, leading to a complete system failure. Because the air filter is so dirty, that means the air passing through your home is dirty as well. So, the air you and your family are breathing in your home can be full of dust, pollen, dander, and other airborne particulates.
With TemperaturePro’s clean air experts providing filter changes and other indoor air quality services you and your family can enjoy cleaner, safer air without the hassle.
The Importance of Inspecting Evaporator Coils
Maintaining your evaporator coils is crucial to the efficiency and lifespan of your air conditioning system. The evaporator coil, typically located inside the air handler or attached to the furnace, plays a vital role in absorbing heat from the air inside your home, allowing the system to cool the space effectively.
When these coils are compromised, it hinders their ability to transfer heat efficiently. This forces your air conditioner to work harder, consuming more energy and putting undue stress on key components of the system. Over time, this added strain can lead to premature wear and tear, increasing the likelihood of part replacements and costly repairs.
Moreover, not maintaining evaporator coils can lead to corrosion, which may result in refrigerant leaks. Refrigerant leaks not only reduce the cooling efficiency of your system, but also pose environmental and health risks.
Protecting evaporator coils through regular HVAC maintenance ensures that your air conditioning system runs smoothly, efficiently, and safely, while also extending its lifespan.

What’s a Condenser? Why Does it Need to Be Checked During Preventative Maintenance Visits?
The condenser is the large metal cube that sits outside of your home. When it comes to air conditioning, the condenser is where most of the work cooling your home takes place. Components of a condenser include the refrigerant, compressor, condenser coil, electromagnet, fan, capacitor, relay switches, and more.
The practice of checking the condenser during maintenance visits allows a technician to catch any problems early on. Unresolved issues with condensers can worsen, and lead to more complex issues within the system that cause a total breakdown.
During preventative maintenance visits, your technician will check your condenser for these elements:
Supply Voltage
Condenser Coil Condition
Condenser Capacitors
Condenser Contractor
Condenser Fan Motor
Condenser Fan Blades
