Maintenance FAQ
How often should I schedule AC maintenance?
Once a year for straight‑cool systems; twice a year (spring/fall) for heat pumps.
Can I just replace the filter myself?
Filter changes help, but they don’t clean coils, test capacitors, or check refrigerant charge—key factors in preventing breakdowns.
Does maintenance void my warranty?
Neglect does. Documented professional service protects your warranty.
Do you service mini‑splits?
Yes. We clean blower wheels, wash filters, and flush drains for ductless heads, too.
