Spring maintenance for your air conditioner is not just a good idea—it’s essential for the longevity and efficiency of your cooling system. Regular tune-ups can save you money, enhance your A/C’s performance, and prevent those dreaded breakdowns in the peak summer heat. But what really happens during a spring check-up, and why is it so important? Let’s break it down.
Key Benefits of Spring Maintenance
- Check Capacitor Levels
Capacitors act like short-term batteries, giving your A/C the energy boost it needs to start and run smoothly. During a tune-up, Hillside will test these capacitors and replace any that are weak or failing, preventing costly motor or compressor damage down the line. - Change Air Filters
Busy lives often mean air filter changes get overlooked. Dirty filters force your A/C to work harder, increasing energy costs and wear. We’ll replace them for you, ensuring clean air and efficient cooling. - Check Refrigerant Levels
Your A/C requires just the right amount of refrigerant to operate efficiently. Low refrigerant levels indicate a leak, which can cause inefficiencies and require repairs. We’ll diagnose and address any issues to keep your system running optimally. - Clear Condensate Drains
Condensate drains remove the moisture your A/C generates. A clogged drain can cause shutdowns or overflow, potentially damaging your system. We’ll clear the line to ensure smooth operation.
