Air Conditioning Preventive Maintenance
Preventive maintenance ensures that your AC stays its coldest and that you don’t pay a higher energy bill because of an inefficient system. It can also make your air conditioner last longer. We recommend preventive maintenance for all of our customers. Don’t feel pressured if it’s not in your budget, but preventive maintenance should save you money in the long run.
The best time to schedule an AC tune up is in early spring, long before you’ll need to rely on your system for daily operation. This allows plenty of time to make repairs, clean, and upgrade equipment.
Even if you don’t hire us for your AC maintenance needs, there are many ways you can help maintain your own system without our help:
- Change the filter: this is actually one of the simplest and the most effective way of maintaining your unit. You can try changing the filter at least once every month. Through this process, you will be able to reduce the immense stress on your machine. If the filter is dirty, the machine will have to work harder just to maintain its normal functions as compared to it having a clean filter. Changing the filter on a regular basis will increase the life of your unit and it’s also friendly to your budget.
- Maintain the cleanliness of your coils: the fins and coils of your unit on the outside need to be kept clear of any obstructions and absolutely clean. In some instances, debris may accumulate on your AC fins and coils. This will, in the end, cause too much stress on your unit. You can always try to clean up the machine using a broom or garden hose. Don’t use any pressure washer since it may result in the damage of your system due to the strong current. Once in a while clean-up will go a long way in maintaining the life of your air conditioner.
- Trim any surrounding shrubbery: nowadays, most people prefer planting a shrubbery just around their unit to keep it out of sight. If you do this around your unit, you can always try to create some space around your air conditioner so that it has enough room to function properly. Try trimming the shrubbery on a regular basis to maintain the space between.
- Make sure the dryer vent has been angled in a different direction away from your AC unit: the dryer lint sometimes can cause exhaustion to your air conditioner. You can try to change the angle of your dryer just to ensure that the lint doesn’t get through to your vents.
- Change the thermostat setting: if you spend most of your time away from your home. You can change the thermostat setting to a bit higher temperature during the times you won’t be at home. This will help to lessen the work time of your unit during the day and hence will increase the life of your machine. In addition, you will have a lower utility bill each month therefore, your expenses will, in turn, be reduced. Some of the latest advances in the air conditioner allow you to program your unit so that it can still get cooler every time you get home. That’s cool technology, right? You will be able to increase the life of your machine and at the same time spend less.
- Monitor your ducts: Dirty ducts can severely impact the efficiency of your system, while also drastically impacting indoor air quality. In some cases, hiring us for a duct cleaning service can actually be more effective than calling for AC maintenance.
Be sure to also check out our air duct cleaning services. Having your ducts periodically cleaned can significantly improve the life of your air conditioner, while also improving your indoor air quality. It’s a win-win!

We Install Ductless AC Systems
If you think there’s only one kind of air conditioner that makes sense for homes like yours, think again. Ductless mini-split systems, like the Fujitsu Halcyon series, offer superior operating efficiency, better room-by-room control, and quieter operation than your typical central air system.
Because ductless systems are, well, ductless, they can easily be installed in locations that are inaccessible to central air systems. That means your garage, attic, basement, workshop, or hobby shed can finally benefit from real climate control. Ductless mini-split systems are also perfect for homes that have a hard time heating and cooling the upstairs, which is unfortunately very common in Livermore and the greater Tri-Valley.
To learn more about the ductless systems we install, call or contact us today for a free consultation.
