What Regular AC Maintenance Actually Does

Your air conditioner works harder than almost any appliance in your home. During Teaneck’s humid summers, it’s running constantly to keep your family comfortable. Without regular maintenance, that constant work leads to worn parts, dirty coils, and systems that struggle to cool your home efficiently.

Regular AC maintenance changes everything. Your system runs smoother, uses less energy, and catches small problems before they become expensive repairs. You’ll notice lower energy bills, more consistent cooling, and cleaner air throughout your home.

Most importantly, you won’t be scrambling to find emergency repair service when your AC fails on the hottest day of the year. Preventive maintenance keeps your system reliable when you need it most.

AC Maintenance Process

Here's What Happens During Your Service

We start with a comprehensive inspection of your entire system, checking electrical connections, measuring refrigerant levels, and testing all components. Our technicians clean your condenser and evaporator coils thoroughly, removing the dirt and debris that makes your system work harder than necessary.

Next, we calibrate your thermostat, inspect your ductwork for energy loss, and lubricate all moving parts to reduce wear. We check for refrigerant leaks, clean or replace your air filter, and ensure your drain pans and condensate lines are flowing properly.

Before we finish, we test your system’s performance and walk you through any recommendations. You’ll get a clear report of what we found and what to watch for before your next service. The whole process typically takes 60-90 minutes, depending on your system’s condition.

AC Maintenance Plans

Why Smart Homeowners Choose Maintenance Plans

Our maintenance plans take the guesswork out of AC care. You get scheduled spring and fall tune-ups that prepare your system for peak demand periods, plus priority service if you ever need repairs. Plan members also receive discounts on parts and labor for any additional work.

The spring tune-up focuses on preparing your system for summer’s heavy usage, while the fall service addresses wear from the cooling season and prepares your system for the off-season. This seasonal approach catches problems early and keeps your system running at peak efficiency year-round.

Plan members consistently see lower energy bills, fewer repair calls, and longer system life. When you factor in the priority service and member discounts, the maintenance plan typically pays for itself with the first repair you avoid.

Most AC systems need professional maintenance twice a year – once in spring before the cooling season starts and once in fall after heavy summer use. This schedule catches problems early and prepares your system for seasonal demands. If your system is older than 10 years or gets heavy use, you might benefit from more frequent check-ups. Regular maintenance every six months typically prevents about 80% of common AC problems and keeps your system running efficiently throughout its lifespan.
A comprehensive AC maintenance visit includes cleaning condenser and evaporator coils, checking refrigerant levels, inspecting electrical connections, calibrating your thermostat, and lubricating moving parts. We also inspect ductwork for leaks, test for refrigerant leaks, clean or replace air filters, and check drain pans and condensate lines. The service typically takes 60-90 minutes and includes a performance test and detailed report of our findings. You’ll know exactly what condition your system is in and what to expect before the next service.
Regular maintenance typically reduces energy costs by 10-15% and can extend your system’s life by 3-5 years. For most Teaneck homeowners, that translates to $200-400 in annual energy savings plus avoiding premature system replacement. Emergency repairs that maintenance would have prevented often cost $500-1,500, while a new AC system runs $3,000-8,000. When you factor in improved reliability and fewer repair calls, maintenance usually pays for itself within the first year and continues saving money throughout your system’s life.
While you can handle basic tasks like changing air filters and keeping outdoor units clear of debris, professional maintenance involves refrigerant handling, electrical work, and specialized equipment that require proper training and licensing. Tasks like checking refrigerant levels, cleaning coils thoroughly, and testing electrical components need professional expertise to be done safely and effectively. DIY maintenance can actually void your warranty or cause expensive damage if done incorrectly. Professional technicians also catch problems that untrained eyes typically miss.
Skipping maintenance leads to dirty coils that reduce efficiency, worn parts that fail unexpectedly, and small problems that become expensive repairs. Your energy bills will gradually increase as your system works harder to cool your home. Most importantly, you’re much more likely to experience system failure during peak summer heat when you need your AC most. Systems without regular maintenance typically last 8-12 years instead of 15-20 years, meaning you’ll replace your equipment much sooner than necessary.
The ideal times are early spring (March-April) before cooling season begins and early fall (September-October) after heavy summer use. Spring maintenance prepares your system for summer’s demands and catches any problems that developed during the off-season. Fall maintenance addresses wear from constant summer use and prepares your system for the dormant season. Scheduling during these shoulder seasons also means better availability and no rush to get your system running during extreme weather when everyone else is calling for service.
