Finally, we lubricate all moving parts, test for refrigerant leaks, and inspect your ductwork for any issues that could be wasting energy. You’ll get a detailed report of what we did and any recommendations for keeping your system running smoothly.

Most AC systems need professional maintenance twice a year – once in spring before the cooling season starts and once in fall before switching to heat. However, if your system is older than 10 years or you have pets, you might benefit from more frequent filter changes and inspections. New Jersey’s humid climate can be tough on HVAC systems, so regular maintenance is especially important here. We typically recommend spring tune-ups in April or May, before the summer heat hits and HVAC companies get backed up with emergency calls.
Skipping maintenance usually leads to higher energy bills first – dirty coils and clogged filters make your system work harder to cool your home. You’ll also void most manufacturer warranties, which require proof of regular professional maintenance. Over time, small issues like loose electrical connections or low refrigerant levels turn into major problems that cost hundreds or thousands to fix. Most importantly, your system will likely fail during the hottest days of summer when you need it most and when emergency service calls are most expensive.
You can handle basic tasks like changing air filters and keeping outdoor units clear of debris, but professional maintenance involves refrigerant handling, electrical work, and specialized cleaning that requires licensing and proper equipment. Refrigerant work requires EPA certification, and electrical components can be dangerous if handled incorrectly. Professional technicians also have the tools and experience to spot potential problems that aren’t obvious to homeowners. DIY maintenance might save money upfront, but it often misses issues that lead to expensive repairs later.
Professional AC maintenance typically costs between $100-200 per visit, while emergency repairs often start at $300-500 and can easily reach $1,000-2,000 for major component failures. A maintenance plan that includes two visits per year usually pays for itself if it prevents just one emergency repair. Plus, regular maintenance keeps your system running efficiently, which can save $200-400 per year on energy costs. When you factor in extended system lifespan and fewer repair calls, maintenance is one of the best investments you can make in your home comfort system.
Spring maintenance should happen in April or early May, before New Jersey’s summer heat arrives and before HVAC companies get busy with emergency calls. Fall maintenance works best in September or October, after cooling season ends but before you need heat regularly. Scheduling during these shoulder seasons means better availability, no rush jobs, and time to address any issues before you actually need your system. Many Franklin Lakes homeowners prefer morning appointments when our technicians are fresh and have more time to be thorough with inspections and cleaning.
Our maintenance plans typically include the scheduled tune-ups and priority scheduling for any service calls, but repairs are usually billed separately at discounted rates for plan members. This means if something breaks, you’ll get faster service and pay less for parts and labor, but you’re not paying upfront for repairs you might never need. Some plans include small repairs or adjustments during maintenance visits, like tightening connections or replacing standard filters. The real value is in preventing emergencies, getting priority service when you do need repairs, and having a technician who already knows your system’s history.
