What Happens During Air Conditioner Maintenance?

When you schedule your seasonal AC check-up, our technicians will perform several tasks that help your device function at peak performance. You’ll obtain a comprehensive inspection, the following tasks, and more:

  • Filter replacement is an essential part of maintenance because a dirty filter causes several issues with your device.
  • Coil cleaning can prevent your device from overheating.
  • Duct cleaning provides airflow optimization and keeps pollutants out of your home &  help with Indoor Air Quality.
  • With an AC efficiency tune-up, you won’t use as much electricity, and your home or business will cool down much more quickly.
  • By tightening loose connections, our technicians can ensure you don’t experience any power issues.
  • The HVAC expert will also test your thermostat to confirm it doesn’t have any calibration issues, damage, or dead batteries.

Long-Term Benefits of Annual Maintenance

For the best benefits, you should schedule AC maintenance every year or sign up to join our Advantage Club that offers tons of great savings while maintaining your unit to stay in peak performance. Many property owners schedule it in the spring so they feel confident their air conditioner will run throughout the summer. When you prioritize annual maintenance, you obtain several benefits.

Improved Energy Efficiency

Maintenance lubricates your device and tightens all components so your air conditioner doesn’t experience as much wear and tear. It keeps your cooling system running efficiently, and you use less electricity to keep your home comfortable. This also means maintenance is environmentally responsible.

Extended Life Expectancy

Your air conditioner has an average life expectancy of between 15 and 20 years. However, without regular maintenance, it can break beyond repair in just a decade. With routine maintenance and moderate usage, some homeowners find their air conditioner lasts longer than expected.

Enhanced Comfort

You deserve to feel comfortable in your home, and customers deserve to feel pleasant in your business. Regular maintenance helps keep your air smelling fresh and feeling cool. You won’t have to worry about contaminants that make your allergies worse. Because it increases efficiency, maintenance also helps your air conditioner cool at a reasonable pace. You won’t have to wait for hours for it to lower your interior temperature by just a few degrees.

Reduced Repair Frequency and Severity

Maintenance fixes minute problems before they start affecting the performance of your air conditioner. The reduced wear and tear means you won’t need repairs so often. Until the air conditioner reaches an advanced age, the repairs you do need should also remain more affordable.

Long-Term Savings

All the benefits that maintenance grants increase how much money you save in the long term. From lower energy bills to avoiding early replacement, you should always consider a check-up a prudent investment. When you work with the best technicians at Mullen Plumbing, Heating and Cooling, you’ll optimize your benefits even more.

AC Maintenance FAQs

How often should I really have my AC serviced?

Customer: “So, how often do I really need to get this thing looked at? I mean, it seems to be working fine.”

Mullen Tech: “Great question! I recommend having your AC serviced once, if not twice a year, ideally in the spring before summer really kicks in. Even if it seems fine now, regular maintenance helps catch small issues before they turn into big, expensive repairs—plus, it keeps your unit running efficiently so you’re not overpaying on energy bills. Luckily, here at Mullen Plumbing, Heating & Cooling we have the Advantage Club maintenance plan that helps keep your house running in comfort year round!”

What do you actually do during AC maintenance?

Customer: “Okay, so what exactly are you doing when you ‘service’ the AC? I always hear ‘maintenance,’ but what does that mean?”

Mullen Tech: “I get that—most folks wonder the same thing. So, a few important tasks we like to accomplish when giving you our comprehensive inspection:

  • Filter replacement is an essential part of maintenance because a dirty filter causes several issues with your device.
  • Coil cleaning can prevent your device from overheating.
  • Duct cleaning provides airflow optimization and keeps pollutants out of your home &  help with Indoor Air Quality.
  • With an AC efficiency tune-up, you won’t use as much electricity, and your home or business will cool down much more quickly.
  • By tightening loose connections, our technicians can ensure you don’t experience any power issues.
  • The HVAC expert will also test your thermostat to confirm it doesn’t have any calibration issues, damage, or dead batteries.

It’s like a tune-up for your car—it keeps everything working smoothly and saves you money in the long run.”

Does regular maintenance actually save me money?

Customer: “Be honest—does this maintenance really save me money, or is it just something I should do?”

Mullen Tech: “Oh, it absolutely saves you money—no fluff, I promise! For one, a well-maintained AC runs more efficiently, which means lower energy bills each month. Second, when I check things regularly, I can catch little problems—like a loose part or low refrigerant—before they turn into major, costly AC Repairs. And the big one? Regular maintenance makes your AC last longer, so you’re not shelling out for a new unit earlier than you have to. So yeah, it’s a small investment now that saves you a lot of money (and headaches) later.”
