Here's Exactly What We Do During Maintenance

We start with a complete system inspection, checking refrigerant levels, electrical connections, and airflow. Your filters get replaced, coils get cleaned, and moving parts get lubricated.

We test your thermostat calibration and check for any unusual sounds, smells, or performance issues. Every component gets examined for wear, damage, or signs that something might fail soon.

You get a clear report of what we found, what we fixed, and what might need attention in the future. No surprise recommendations for expensive repairs you don’t actually need. Just honest information so you can make smart decisions about your system.

What's Included in Our AC Maintenance Service

Complete system inspection and cleaning, filter replacement, refrigerant level check, and electrical connection testing. We clean your condenser coils, check your ductwork for leaks, and calibrate your thermostat.

Desert conditions in Nevada mean your AC works harder than systems in other climates. We pay special attention to dust buildup, which can kill efficiency and cause premature failure if not addressed properly.

You also get priority scheduling for any future service needs and a detailed report of your system’s condition. We’ll tell you what’s working well and what might need attention down the road, so you can plan ahead instead of dealing with emergency breakdowns.

How often should I schedule AC maintenance in Mount Charleston?

Twice a year works best for most homes in Mount Charleston – once in spring before the heat hits, and once in fall after the heavy usage season. Nevada’s extreme temperatures and dust conditions are harder on AC systems than moderate climates, so regular maintenance prevents the expensive breakdowns that happen when systems get neglected. If you have an older system or run your AC constantly during summer, you might benefit from more frequent check-ups.
Your energy bills go up first, sometimes by 20-30% as your system works harder to cool your home. Then small problems turn into big ones – a dirty coil becomes a failed compressor, loose connections cause electrical damage, and low refrigerant leads to complete system failure. Most emergency AC repairs we see could have been prevented with regular maintenance. Plus, skipping maintenance usually voids your manufacturer’s warranty when you need it most.
You can handle basic tasks like changing filters and keeping the outdoor unit clear of debris, but professional maintenance involves refrigerant handling, electrical work, and safety procedures that require proper training and licensing. DIY maintenance also misses the subtle signs that indicate developing problems. We catch issues like refrigerant leaks, electrical problems, and component wear that aren’t obvious to homeowners but can cause expensive failures if ignored.
Regular maintenance typically costs $150-300 per visit, while emergency AC repairs in Nevada’s summer heat often run $500-2000 or more. A failed compressor can cost $3000-5000 to replace, but proper maintenance usually prevents compressor failure entirely. Most homeowners save money within the first year through lower energy bills and avoided repairs. Think of maintenance as insurance – you pay a small amount regularly to avoid much larger unexpected costs.
Spring maintenance in March or April prepares your system for Nevada’s brutal summer heat and catches any problems that developed during the off-season. Fall maintenance in October or November addresses any damage from heavy summer use and prepares your system for winter. Scheduling before peak seasons also means better availability and no waiting for service when everyone else’s AC is breaking down during heat waves.
Absolutely. Well-maintained AC systems in Nevada typically last 12-15 years, while neglected systems often fail after 8-10 years. Regular maintenance prevents the major causes of premature failure – dirty coils, refrigerant leaks, electrical problems, and component wear. Clean systems run cooler, work more efficiently, and experience less stress. The cost of maintenance over a system’s lifetime is usually less than the cost of replacing your AC 3-5 years early due to neglect.
