Here’s what you can expect from our 21-point air conditioner service.

A maintenance professional can make sure they are clean and functioning properly. Your maintenance professional will also check all the electrical connections and terminals. They will make sure all the terminals are clean and uncorroded. They will also tighten all the electrical connections as they can loosen with the weather changes.

They will also change out the filter, however, it is advised to change your air filter every 1 to 3 months depending on the filter type. Once your maintenance professional gets your air conditioning system running, feel free to ask them any questions.
