AC Maintenance in Jacksonville FL

When air conditioning maintenance in Jacksonville, FL, and surrounding areas is scheduled for spring and fall each year, a certified HVAC technician can lower utility costs by tuning up your HVAC system in just a few hours.

Here is the half-yearly air conditioner maintenance checklist drawn up by Indoor Comfort, making sure your HVAC system runs smoothly all year round:

• condenser and evaporator coils are cleaned and straightened, keeping refrigerant pressure at the right level.
• crankcase heater is inspected, to avoid compressor failure;
• refrigerant levels are checked and topped up if necessary;
• leaks are noted for subsequent ac repair and heating repair services, particularly refrigerant, water, gas or oil;
• condensate drain must be clear, not clogged by debris or algae;
• air filters are replaced and preferably upgraded, particularly during lockdown and quarantine periods;
• thermostats are cleaned and calibrated, considering the possibility of upgrading to a smart model;
• motors are inspected, cleaned and lubricated, ensuring top efficiency;
• capacitors are tested, to avoid compressor and motor failure;
• air blowers, fans and blades are checked, cleaned and adjusted, to ensure steady airflows;
• belts and pulleys are tested and adjusted, as they stretch, crack and break with age;
• wires, relays and contacts are inspected, cleaned and tightened.

Before signing off on each job, our NATE-qualified technicians check that the entire system runs smoothly, starting up and shutting off correctly. All these steps ensure that your window unit, central ac equipment or ductless mini-split systems operate efficiently throughout the year, extending its working life, with lower utility bills, fewer repairs and replacements.
