Many people believe that if their AC performed OK during the last summer, it will continue to do so in the coming summer without any needed maintenance or repairs. Unfortunately, that is not always the case. Sitting unused during the winter, your AC can collect debris and dust or develop leaks, which eventual cause major problems. To avoid these problems, it is important to schedule routine AC maintenance. By scheduling AC maintenance, you can reap many benefits including preventing costly repairs, extending the AC's lifespan, fewer breakdowns, healthier air quality, and more.

AC Maintenance Checklist from Our Overland AC Maintenance Experts
While AC maintenance should be customized to the needs of your system, there are some key steps that should be included in any AC maintenance visit. When an AC maintenance professional arrives at your home, here are a few things you should expect your professional to review:
- Make sure the technician cleans the air filter: Over time, AC air filters get clogged with dust. A dirty air filter will have to work harder to pump out the cool air from the AC, which means it will use more energy and this usually means higher utility bills.
- Make sure the technician cleans the coils: Dirty condenser coils lead to poor performance, increased energy consumption, and eventually break down of the entire system. Therefore, cleaning the dirty condenser coil is necessary.
- Make sure the technician checks for leaks: Leaks can reduce the overall efficiency of the AC. So, make sure your technician checks the AC for leaks in both the refrigerant system and the ductwork.
- Make sure your technician inspects the refrigerant lines: Refrigerant lines can get clogged over time, and because of this clogging your AC is unable to produce cold air. Therefore, getting the refrigerant lines checked for clogging is important.
- Make sure the technician cleans the evaporator: The evaporator absorbs the hot air inside your home, thereby, allowing you to stay cool. Over time, the evaporator coil can develop holes, leaks, or cracks, which can be detrimental to the performance of the AC unit. This is why it is important to get your AC's evaporator checked.
Apart from checking and cleaning the AC components, you also need to ensure that the technician checks the electrical connections. A faulty electrical connection can prevent the AC from functioning smoothly. At Galmiche & Sons, we do all the tasks above and more, including checking bad electrical connections.
