Air conditioners can’t fulfill their lifespans and operate efficiently without regular maintenance. Matheson Heating, Air & Plumbing offers quality air conditioning maintenance in Wixom, MI. An AC tune-up involves inspection, testing, tightening, lubricating, and cleaning.

We recommend scheduling these services annually, usually in early spring. We can ensure your unit’s safety and performance and find minor problems before they cause service disruptions. Scheduling maintenance provides peace of mind in knowing that you can protect your investment.

What Does an AC Tune-Up in Wixom Look Like?

An air conditioner maintenance appointment begins with thoroughly inspecting your indoor and outdoor components. We check for signs of wear and tear, loose connections, and wire fraying. Our team will inspect your refrigerant levels for leaks or pressure issues.

We use various tools to check your unit’s performance, including a voltage meter. Voltage meters allow us to check the voltage of different system components, including your blower motor and capacitors. Improper voltage, whether too high or low, can cause damage, reduced efficiency, and potential system failure. Excessive current draw will likely cause your blower motor to burn out.

Testing also includes temperature readings. As we take readings, we look for any signs of overheating to help prevent damage to your equipment. Our technicians will perform airflow testing using anemometers. These tools can help us determine whether your air conditioner is losing air pressure due to leaks or low refrigerant. Proper airflow is critical for keeping your home cooler and less humid in the summer.

Regular AC Tune-Ups Prolong System Life

We also lubricate moving parts like the blower motor. A lack of lubrication leads to increased wear and tear due to friction, and lubrication helps preserve these valuable parts. Our team will clean your condensate drains and condenser coils and apply a protective coating to your outdoor unit.

Due to outdoor exposure, your coils can become caked with dirt and grime. Dirty coils reduce your air conditioner’s efficiency by restricting airflow and preventing heat transfer. You should have your AC coils professionally cleaned at least once a year. It’s also essential to keep your condensate drains clean. High moisture levels can cause mold growth, which can inhibit drainage.
