Dependable Air Conditioning Maintenance in Boston, MA

Central AC Maintenance 

If you have a central air conditioner, keeping your equipment clean and in good condition is key. Without regular maintenance, your indoor air quality can tank and the cost of cooling your home can soar. Our certified AC technicians can make sure your system is operating efficiently and detect problems early before they have a chance to become expensive repairs.

Window AC Maintenance 

Window air conditioners tend to have a significantly lower lifespan than central ACs and ductless units. They can also move around during operation, which loosens the seal between the unit and the window. This can result in lower energy efficiency, increased electric bills, and potential water damage if rain gets in your building. Proper maintenance can help you fix issues like this quickly and get the most out of your AC before it has to be replaced.

Top Maintenance Tasks for Your Air Conditioner

Clean or Replace Your Filters

Your air conditioner’s filters are what trap dust, dirt, and harmful particles and prevent them from entering the air you breathe. Clogged filters restrict the flow of air and make your system work harder to reach the same temperature.

Over time, you’ll start to notice that the air coming out of your vents isn’t as strong and your energy bills are higher. Don’t wait until this happens to clean or replace your AC filters. Ideally, this should be done every 1-3 months depending on how quickly dirt and pet hair accumulate.

Clear the Drain Line

Your air conditioner’s drain line helps remove excess moisture that is created during the heat exchange process to funnel it away from your building. If your drain line becomes clogged, water can back up into your walls where it can’t cause water damage or lead to mold and mildew growth.

Regular AC maintenance is crucial to remove debris that has started to accumulate in your drain line before it has a chance to become obstructed.

Clean Condenser and Evaporator Coils

Your air conditioner’s condenser and evaporator coils are what remove heat from your space and release it outside. Just like other components in your unit, these can become dirty and grimy over time. When this happens, the coils can’t extract and discharge heat as effectively and your system has to work double-time to keep you cool. Cleaning them at least annually can help prevent reduced efficiency and premature equipment breakdowns.

Declutter Around the Outside Unit

Your outdoor unit is just as important as your indoor one. When leaves, branches, overgrown vegetation, and other debris accumulate around it, this restricts airflow and prevents heat from being released outdoors effectively. By keeping the area around your outdoor unit decluttered, you can keep your space cooler and reduce wear and tear on your system.

Check Your Thermostat

Routine maintenance also involves checking and calibrating your thermostat to make sure it’s correctly reading the temperature of your space. If needed, repairs or replacements can be made to prevent a malfunctioning thermostat from causing damage to your system.
