Regular AC maintenance optimizes the performance and efficiency of your air conditioning system. The climate in Martinez can be quite demanding on home ACs. Extreme summer heat can accelerate wear and tear and you may also rely on air conditioning at other times of the year. Routine maintenance addresses small issues and includes adjustments and tune-ups that keep the system running smoothly so you’re not stuck with a warm, stuffy home during a heat wave.
Service Champions is your local AC maintenance specialist. We provide a wide range of maintenance services that can prevent your system from breaking down and requiring costly repairs. Without maintenance, extreme heat and peak summer temperatures can cause parts that are already worn out to fail. Completing minor repairs early prevents this. Our team is committed to ensuring your comfort, safety, and convenience year-round and avoiding issues with temperature control, humidity, dust, and particulates in your home.
In Martinez, routine AC maintenance is a necessity, not an option. Our customers here rely on consistent cooling during the warmer months. We ensure your home is comfortable when you wake up in the morning and when you return home from work or vacation. The performance of your AC also impacts air filtration. Cleaning and replacing the filter and keeping other AC components free of dirt not only helps the system run smoothly but also helps improve indoor air quality.
Other advantages of proactive AC maintenance include:
Improved Air Circulation: Poor air circulation can make parts of your home too warm or too cool and can potentially affect your family’s health.
Early Detection and Prevention: If potential issues are developing, a maintenance inspection helps find them so the technician can provide a quick fix.
Improved Energy Efficiency: Homeowners in Martinez who keep a regular AC maintenance schedule often see reduced utility costs. A properly maintained system works less hard to cool your home.
Prolonged Lifespan of AC Equipment: A well-maintained AC can last 10 to 15 years or longer compared to a neglected unit that might not make it seven or eight years.
Enhanced Indoor Comfort: With maintenance, your AC should provide consistent temperature and humidity control throughout your home and maintain good indoor air quality.
At Service Champions, our AC maintenance specialists follow a thorough checklist of tasks to ensure your cooling system is in peak condition:
Thorough AC System Inspection: We inspect the outdoor unit, indoor air handler, coils, electrical connections, fans, belts, motors, and other components.
Clean and Replace Air Filters: A fresh filter improves airflow, which leads to improved performance and air quality.
Lubricate Moving Parts: Reducing friction helps achieve optimal performance and minimizes wear and tear on important AC components.
Check Thermostat Calibration and Functionality: A properly functioning thermostat allows your AC to run efficiently; we also check for battery, circuit, and wiring issues.
Inspect and Tighten Electrical Connections: Secure connections allow your AC to run properly and avoid safety hazards such as surges, shocks, and fires.
Our team also performs these maintenance tasks:
Check refrigerant levels
Clear the condensate drain line
Test system controls
Clean the evaporator and condenser coils
Clean and adjust blower components
A professional should inspect, adjust, and tune up your air conditioner at least once a year. The best time for maintenance is in the spring. It allows us to fix issues and ensure your AC is at peak performance and efficiency at the start of the cooling season.
Don’t skip annual maintenance by a professional. However, there are some AC maintenance tasks you should do between visits. These include:
Change the filter every 1-3 months
Keep dirt and debris away from the condenser
Make sure vents aren’t blocked
Shield the AC and thermostat from direct sunlight
Adjust your thermostat higher when you’re away
Yes. Even a newer air conditioner will steadily decrease in performance and efficiency if it’s not properly maintained. We suggest enrolling in your HVAC contractor’s maintenance plan when purchasing a new system.
Assuming the unit doesn’t need a repair or new parts, a tune-up usually costs around $200 (it’s included as part of our maintenance plan). That’s far less than the larger repairs that may be needed without maintenance.
During the off-season, we can dispatch a technician to your home quickly and often on your schedule. That’s one reason to schedule AC maintenance in the spring.
