Fort Washington’s Best AC Maintenance
Southern Maryland experiences warm, muggy weather during the summer months. A functional air conditioner keeps your household comfortable and cool. It extracts excess moisture from the indoor air, reducing the risk of mildew, mold, and unpleasant odors. Schedule regular pre-season tune-ups to extend your cooling system’s lifespan, prevent dangerous breakdowns during the sweltering summer, and lower your energy costs. We provide comprehensive AC tune-up services tailored to each model, as fuel-sourced and electrical units demand different maintenance tasks.
At Southern Pride Service, we use detailed air conditioning maintenance checklists to inspect, clean, and optimize all AC components:
- Indoor air handlers
- Outdoor condensers
- Evaporator and condenser coils
- Blower motors and blower fans
- Thermostats
Our technicians lubricate all moving parts, test airflow, and look for safety issues. We inspect, clean, and deodorize AC condensate drains and drain lines. When air conditioners sit dormant, mold and algal blooms can develop into slimy buildups. Clearing these buildups allows condensation to drain completely, preventing problems like pooling water and muggy, oppressive indoor air.
If your air conditioner is still under warranty, annual air conditioning maintenance ensures you remain warranty-compliant. Regular tune-ups are crucial for adhering to other agreements, including home service contracts and insurance plans. We ensure your AC receives the necessary care to avoid delays and denials when filing claims.
During maintenance, we assess airflow to detect air duct leaks and other causes of air loss. We check for closed or blocked HVAC air vents, low refrigerant levels, and loose or faulty electrical connections, among other common issues. Our HVAC technicians seize this opportunity to promptly identify and resolve problems. If we find issues that fall outside the scope of tune-ups, we can make a return appointment whenever it’s convenient. We also check the condition of your air filters and replace them with the HVAC air filters that you provide, if necessary. Additionally, we can offer recommendations for any indoor air quality questions you may have.
Well-maintained air conditioners operate longer, perform more efficiently, and consume less energy. You’ll enjoy quieter AC operation, consistent cooling, and reduced allergens and contaminants in your home.
