Air Conditioning Maintenance Services

Is It Necessary to Service AC Every Year?

Just like taking your car in to be serviced or going for an annual physical, your air conditioner needs consistent care and attention. There are several things you can do throughout the year to keep your AC in good condition: clean and clear any debris, change the filters every 90 days and make sure your thermostat isn't set too low.

Once a year, though, your AC needs a thorough inspection to check internal components, refrigerant levels and more. We recommend scheduling your AC maintenance in the early spring to make sure your system is ready to run all summer long.

You may think that the cooler months are a nice break for your AC and it will be ready at a moment's notice for hotter weather. Your AC might actually have sustained wear, tear, and damage through the winter that need to be fixed before it can run safely. The last thing you want is a broken air conditioner in the middle of summer. Yearly maintenance helps you avoid that.

Signs That Your AC Needs Maintenance

Keeping an eye out for AC concerns and scheduling maintenance is the easiest way to treat minor issues before they snowball.

You should schedule maintenance if you notice: 

• Weak Airflow or Uneven Cooling: If there are hot and cold spots in your home or not enough cool air in every room, there may be clogged air filters or issues with the motor blower.
• Strange Noises or Smells: Your AC should operate quietly and odor free. If you notice grinding, squealing, rattling, or smell burning or mildew, there may be worn out components or issues with the ductwork.
• Higher Energy Bills: If your energy bills skyrocket without an increase in usage, your AC is likely running harder than it should have to.
• Frequent Cycling On and Off: If your AC turns on and off frequently, it may be struggling to maintain the right temperature and wasting energy.
• Excessive Humidity: If the air in your home feels too humid even when the AC is running, there might be issues with the cooling or dehumidification process.

Treating your AC to annual service comes with many benefits, including the peace of mind that your family will be safe and cool through the Norman heat. Scheduling yearly maintenance is a long-term investment with immediate improvements to your home's comfort.
