Preventative AC maintenance can keep your home cooler for longer. It is by far the best and easiest way to extend the life of your HVAC equipment. Let the experts at Hurlburt guide you through air conditioning maintenance recommendations. We’ll let you know what you can do yourself and how often you should contact the professionals.

Why preventative maintenance is so important

Our goal for regular AC maintenance is to keep your air conditioner in good, running shape for as long as possible. We’re not here to sell you a new AC unless you need it. If you have an older system that we can keep going, we’ll keep it running for you as long as possible. A lot of the time, we can address potential problems before they become expensive repairs down the line. This can be something like replacing a noisy fan motor before it fails on you in the middle of a summer heatwave. Or it could be that we find a leak in the spring before it has the chance to cause any further damage to the system. Preventative maintenance like this can both save you money and extend the life of your HVAC equipment.

What happens at an AC tune-up?

When we tune up your AC, we will inspect the entire system, check the coolant charge, clean the drain line and fitting for the evaporator coil, clean the outdoor condenser, and make notes of any parts that appear to be nearing the end of their life. If we see any repairs that should happen, we will always discuss them with you before we begin any further work. We will explain what’s going on and what recommendations we have. As always, you decide what work we do on your AC system. It’s always up to you if you want to make preemptive repairs or not.
