Common Questions
AC Maintenance FAQ
Everything Charlotte homeowners need to know about ac maintenance
How much does AC maintenance cost in Charlotte?
A one-time AC tune-up costs $149 in Charlotte. Our annual maintenance plans start at $240/year and include priority scheduling, 15% off repairs, and transferable benefits. Regular maintenance prevents 90% of breakdowns and saves an average of $300/year in energy costs.
How often should I have my AC serviced in Charlotte?
In Charlotte's climate, annual AC maintenance is essential—ideally in April or May before peak summer heat. Charlotte's humidity and pollen put extra strain on AC systems. Skipping maintenance voids most warranties and reduces efficiency by up to 25%.
What's included in an AC tune-up?
Our comprehensive tune-up includes: refrigerant check, electrical testing, coil cleaning, filter replacement, condensate drain cleaning, thermostat calibration, capacitor testing, and a full performance report. We identify potential issues before they become expensive breakdowns.
Will maintenance really prevent AC breakdowns?
Yes! Studies show regular maintenance prevents 90% of breakdowns. Charlotte's heat and humidity accelerate wear on AC components. Catching issues early saves $300-$800 in emergency repairs. Prevention is always cheaper than repair.
Can't I just change the filter myself?
Filter changes help, but they're just one part of maintenance. Hidden issues like refrigerant leaks, dirty coils, failing capacitors, and electrical problems can't be detected without professional inspection. These issues cause high energy bills and reduce efficiency by 20-40%.
Is AC maintenance really worth it?
Absolutely. Maintenance costs $149 but typically saves $300-$500/year through: 15-25% lower energy bills, prevented breakdowns, extended equipment life (12-18 vs 8-12 years), and maintaining manufacturer warranties. Charlotte homeowners who skip maintenance spend 3x more on repairs.
When is the best time to schedule AC maintenance in Charlotte?
April-May is ideal—after spring pollen but before peak summer heat. This gives you time to address any issues before you depend on your AC daily. We offer priority scheduling for maintenance plan members to ensure you're ready for Charlotte's brutal summer.
Do you offer maintenance plans?
Yes! Our annual maintenance plan costs $240/year and includes: 2 comprehensive tune-ups (spring and fall), priority scheduling, 15% off repairs, no diagnostic fees, and transferable benefits if you sell your home. It's the best way to protect your investment.
What happens if you find a problem during maintenance?
We'll explain the issue, show you the problem if possible, and provide upfront pricing for repairs. You decide if you want to fix it now or later. No high-pressure sales—just honest recommendations. Maintenance plan members get 15% off all repairs.
Will skipping maintenance void my warranty?
Many manufacturers require annual professional maintenance to maintain warranty coverage. If your AC fails and you haven't kept service records, they may deny the claim. Our maintenance includes documentation to protect your warranty.
How long does AC maintenance take?
A thorough AC tune-up takes 60-90 minutes. We don't rush—proper maintenance requires time to inspect all components, clean coils, test electrical systems, and ensure optimal performance. Quick 30-minute "tune-ups" from discount companies often miss critical issues.
Can you service any brand of AC?
Yes! Our technicians are trained on all major brands: Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, Bryant, York, American Standard, and more. We service what we sell and what others sell—25+ years of combined experience with Charlotte HVAC systems.
Do you clean AC coils during maintenance?
Yes! Coil cleaning is essential in Charlotte due to pollen, dust, and humidity. Dirty coils reduce efficiency by 20-40% and can cause AC freezing issues. We clean both evaporator (indoor) and condenser (outdoor) coils. Some companies skip this to save time—we don't.
What if my AC breaks down between maintenance visits?
Maintenance plan members get priority scheduling and no diagnostic fees on repairs. While maintenance prevents 90% of breakdowns, we're here to help if issues arise. Plus, you'll save 15% on any needed repairs.
