What Our AC Tune-Up Includes
Our spring AC maintenance service includes a comprehensive 12-point inspection: cleaning or replacing the air filter to ensure proper airflow, cleaning the outdoor condenser coil to maintain heat rejection efficiency, checking and tightening all electrical connections to prevent intermittent operation, measuring refrigerant charge and adjusting to manufacturer specifications, inspecting the condensate drain line and clearing any blockages, testing the capacitor and verifying proper microfarad rating, checking the contactor for pitting or burning, verifying thermostat calibration and cooling mode operation, measuring temperature differential across the indoor coil to confirm proper cooling performance, inspecting ductwork for visible leaks or disconnections, lubricating the fan motor bearings if applicable, and testing all safety controls and the condensate overflow switch.
When to Schedule AC Maintenance
The ideal time for AC maintenance in Greater Vancouver is April through early May — before the first heat wave. Scheduling early ensures your system is ready when temperatures rise and means you have priority access to our technicians before the summer rush. Air conditioners that sit unused for 6-8 months during winter can develop issues that are not apparent until the system is started in cooling mode. A spring tune-up catches these issues proactively rather than discovering them during a 30°C day when service appointments are fully booked. Book your spring AC tune-up by calling ${site.phone}.
Benefits of Annual AC Maintenance
Regular maintenance delivers several concrete benefits. Efficiency: a clean coil and proper refrigerant charge reduce electricity consumption by 10-15%. Reliability: most AC failures during summer are traced to neglected maintenance — a failed capacitor or blocked drain that would have been caught during a tune-up. Longevity: well-maintained air conditioners last 15-20 years versus 10-12 for neglected units. Comfort: a properly maintained system delivers consistent cooling without hot spots or temperature swings. Warranty compliance: many manufacturer warranties require documented annual maintenance. Cost savings: the cost of a spring tune-up is a fraction of the cost of an emergency repair during a heat wave.
Safety Reminder
If you smell gas, suspect carbon monoxide or believe there is an immediate danger, leave the property and contact emergency services or the appropriate gas emergency authority. Do not remain inside — exit the building immediately and call for help from outside.
