  • Check and recharge refrigerant levels
  • Clean evaporator and condenser coils
  • Inspect and test capacitors and contactors
  • Check and clear condensate drain line
  • Inspect electrical connections and wiring
  • Test thermostat calibration and operation
  • Measure airflow and check filter
  • Inspect blower motor and belt
  • Check for leaks, corrosion, and wear

Why Maintenance Matters

Skip the Tune-Up, Pay the Price

Most AC breakdowns are preventable. A $150 tune-up can save you thousands in emergency repairs — and extend your system's life by years.

Prevent Breakdowns

Catch failing components before they leave you without AC on the hottest day of the year.

Lower Energy Bills

A clean, well-tuned system uses up to 15% less energy than a neglected one running the same hours.

Extend System Life

Regular maintenance adds years to your AC's lifespan — deferring a costly replacement.

Common Questions

AC Maintenance Questions

How often should I have my AC serviced?

Once a year is the minimum — ideally in spring before cooling season starts. If you have a heat pump you're using for both heating and cooling, twice a year is better.

What's the best time of year to schedule a tune-up?

Spring, before summer heat hits, is ideal. Scheduling in February or March means you beat the rush and ensure your system is ready when temperatures climb.

Will a tune-up lower my energy bills?

Yes. A clean, calibrated system runs more efficiently. Customers commonly see 10–15% reductions in cooling costs after a proper tune-up.

How long does a maintenance visit take?

Typically 45 minutes to 1.5 hours depending on system size and condition. We won't rush — a thorough inspection is the whole point.

Do you service commercial AC systems?

Yes. We maintain residential and commercial systems across Galveston County including Santa Fe, League City, Dickinson, Texas City, Clear Lake, and South Houston.
