When is the best time to have AC maintenance done?

You want your AC to work properly whenever you need it, and the best way to help ensure that happens is to get seasonal AC maintenance checkups from a trusted HVAC company. But when is the best time to schedule your AC checkup? Presidential Heating & Air Conditioning of Gaithersburg recommends having AC maintenance checkups done in the spring.

Get AC maintenance before summer

Angi’s agrees. They too recommend having your AC serviced early to mid-spring. According to their research, “an unserviced AC loses 5% efficiency per year and uses more energy, which will cost you more in energy bills. This lack of routine maintenance also puts more strain on the system, reducing its lifespan by as much as 50%.”

During your AC maintenance call, our techs will do a comprehensive inspection of your AC unit. Inside your home, they will check your filters and clean or replace as needed. They will clean the evaporator coils removing the dirt and dust that has accumulated. They will check your condensate pump and lines for any clogs or leaks. They will also check the blower motor.

Our technicians will also thoroughly inspect the outside your home. They will first check to make sure your unit has enough room to breathe. They may suggest that your trim back bushes, push back mulch, and remove any leaves and debris. They will clean the condenser coils removing the accumulated dirt.   They will inspect your condenser and refrigerant levels. And, just like inside, they will make sure the motors are working properly.
