- We perform a thorough inspection of electrical components. As your air conditioner runs, vibrations can loosen connections reducing efficiency and increasing the likelihood of a breakdown. Dust can collect on parts, and corrosion can develop.
- We check the system’s evaporator and condensing coils. Dirty coils slow the heat exchange process which reduces efficiency.

- We clear drain lines to ensure proper removal of condensation.
- We test the accuracy of the thermostat.
