What Regular Maintenance Actually Does for You

Your AC system works harder in Dry Lake than almost anywhere else. Summer temperatures regularly hit 110+ degrees, and your unit runs non-stop for months. Without proper maintenance, you’re looking at higher energy bills, unexpected breakdowns, and that sinking feeling when your system dies on the hottest day of the year.

Regular AC maintenance keeps your system running efficiently when you need it most. Clean filters and coils mean your unit doesn’t have to work as hard to cool your home. That translates to lower monthly bills and fewer emergency repair calls.

You’ll also catch small problems before they become expensive ones. A worn belt or dirty coil might cost $50 to fix today, but waiting could mean a $1,500 compressor replacement next month. In Nevada’s climate, preventive care isn’t optional—it’s essential.

Here's What Happens During Your Service

We start by checking your system’s overall performance and looking for any obvious issues. This includes testing temperatures, checking refrigerant levels, and listening for unusual sounds that might indicate problems.

Next, we clean or replace your air filters and clean your evaporator and condenser coils. In Dry Lake’s dusty environment, these components collect debris that forces your system to work harder. Clean coils and filters can improve efficiency by 15-20%.

We also inspect electrical connections, test your thermostat calibration, and check all moving parts for wear. Before we leave, we’ll let you know if we found anything that needs attention and give you a realistic timeline for any recommended repairs.

Complete AC Maintenance Dry Lake

What's Included in Your Maintenance Visit

Every maintenance visit includes a thorough inspection of your entire cooling system. We check refrigerant levels, clean coils, replace or clean filters, and test all electrical components. You’ll also get a written report of what we found and any recommendations for keeping your system running smoothly.

We pay special attention to the issues that affect systems in our area. Desert dust clogs filters faster than in other climates, so we make sure you know how often to change them. We also check for signs of wear that come from systems running constantly during our long, hot summers.

If we find anything that needs immediate attention, we’ll explain exactly what’s wrong and what it’ll cost to fix. No surprises, no pressure—just honest information so you can make the right decision for your home and budget.

How often should I schedule AC maintenance in Dry Lake?

In Nevada’s climate, you should have your AC system serviced twice a year—once in spring before the heavy cooling season starts, and once in fall after the worst heat passes. Our desert environment is particularly hard on HVAC systems because of dust, extreme temperatures, and the fact that units run almost continuously for months. Regular maintenance catches problems early and keeps your system running efficiently when you need it most. Some homeowners with older systems or particularly dusty locations benefit from quarterly filter changes and annual deep cleaning services.
Skipping maintenance in our climate is risky and expensive. Dirty coils and filters make your system work 20-30% harder, which shows up immediately in higher energy bills. More importantly, components wear out faster when they’re stressed, leading to unexpected breakdowns during peak summer heat. We’ve seen customers pay $2,000+ for emergency repairs that could have been prevented with $150 in routine maintenance. In Dry Lake’s extreme temperatures, a broken AC isn’t just inconvenient—it can be dangerous for your family’s health and safety.
A standard maintenance visit typically costs between $100-200, depending on your system size and what needs to be done. That might seem like a lot, but it’s much less than emergency repairs or the extra energy costs from running a dirty, inefficient system. Most homeowners save more than the maintenance cost in lower monthly bills and avoided repairs. We offer maintenance agreements that spread the cost over the year and include priority service if you do need repairs. We’ll always give you upfront pricing before starting any work.
You can handle basic tasks like changing filters and keeping the outdoor unit clear of debris, but professional maintenance involves much more. We check refrigerant levels, clean coils properly, test electrical connections, and calibrate controls—work that requires specialized tools and training. DIY maintenance also can’t catch the early warning signs that prevent major breakdowns. In Nevada’s harsh climate, the stakes are too high to skip professional service. However, changing your filter regularly between visits is one of the best things you can do to help your system run efficiently.
Schedule your main maintenance visit in early spring, before temperatures start climbing into the 90s. This gives you time to address any issues before you really need your system running perfectly. Many homeowners also schedule a second visit in late fall to prepare for winter and address any wear from the heavy summer season. Avoid waiting until the first hot day—that’s when everyone calls, and you might wait days for service. Early spring appointments are usually easier to schedule and less expensive than emergency calls during peak season.
A thorough maintenance visit typically takes 1-2 hours, depending on your system size and what we find. We don’t rush through the process because cutting corners defeats the purpose of preventive maintenance. The time includes checking all components, cleaning coils and filters, testing performance, and explaining any findings to you. If we discover issues that need immediate attention, we’ll discuss those separately and get your approval before doing additional work. Most maintenance visits are straightforward, but we budget enough time to do the job right and answer your questions.
