Air conditioning service encompasses a variety of tasks aimed at keeping your AC system running smoothly and efficiently. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect from our different types of air conditioning services at Vanheat’s HVAC Services.

Air Conditioning Maintenance
This is the most crucial aspect of air conditioning service. Regular maintenance, ideally performed annually before the cooling season kicks in, helps prevent breakdowns, extends the lifespan of your unit, and optimizes its efficiency, potentially saving you money on energy bills.
Typical tasks during maintenance may include:
Replacing air filters: Dirty filters restrict airflow, reducing efficiency and cooling power.
Cleaning the coils: Dust and grime buildup on the condenser and evaporator coils can significantly impact performance.
Checking refrigerant levels: Low refrigerant can lead to poor cooling and potential compressor damage.
Inspecting electrical components: Ensuring proper electrical connections are vital for safe and efficient operation.
Lubricating moving parts: Proper lubrication minimizes friction and wear on mechanical components.
Safety checks: Technicians will verify the system is operating safely and venting condensate properly.
