FAQs
Why is preventative air-conditioning maintenance important for Petros homeowners?
Regular maintenance keeps your AC running efficiently during Petros’ long, humid summers. A tuned system cools faster, uses less electricity, experiences fewer breakdowns, and can last several years longer than a neglected unit—saving you money on both energy bills and premature replacements.
What services are included in your preventative maintenance visit?
Our licensed technician will clean condenser and evaporator coils, inspect refrigerant charge, tighten electrical connections, test capacitors and contactors, flush condensate lines, change or wash filters, lubricate moving parts, calibrate the thermostat, check airflow and static pressure, and run a complete safety and performance test.
How often should I schedule AC maintenance in Petros?
We recommend one comprehensive tune-up every spring, before temperatures climb. If your system is older than 10 years, sees heavy use, or cools a home with pets or smokers, a second check-up in late summer can further protect against wear and tear.
Will a maintenance plan really lower my energy bills?
Yes. Dirty coils, loose belts, and low refrigerant force your AC to work harder. EPA studies show that properly maintained equipment can operate up to 15% more efficiently. For many Petros customers, that translates to $150-$300 in annual utility savings—more than covering the cost of the service.
What signs indicate my AC needs immediate attention between tune-ups?
Call us if you notice warm air from the vents, weak airflow, unusual noises or odors, short cycling, moisture around the indoor unit, or a sudden spike in your electric bill. These symptoms often start small but can lead to major compressor damage if ignored.
How is preventative maintenance different from a repair call?
Maintenance is a proactive visit scheduled at your convenience to clean, test, and adjust the system before problems arise. A repair call is reactive, usually urgent, and addresses a specific failure—often costing more in parts, labor, and discomfort. Staying on a maintenance plan minimizes the need for emergency repairs and preserves your manufacturer’s warranty.
