Get Familiar With Your Air Conditioner
The four main components to your air conditioner are:
Condenser
The condenser is the outside metal unit and where the gas from the compressor is condensed into a liquid. The gas entering the condenser is very hot. The temperature is then lowered, so the gas can convert back to a liquid.
Compressor
The compressor is inside the condenser. It circulates the pressurized refrigerant, to concentrate the heat, and changes the low pressure gas to high pressure.
Evaporator
The evaporator is the part of the system inside the home. In simple language, it absorbs the heat from your home.
Expansion Valve
The expansion valve controls the amount of refrigerant in your system.
All of these pieces are connected by a copper tube that handles refrigerant, creating a closed loop. Heat is collected in the evaporator, sent outside to the condenser. The heat is removed, and the cool air is recirculated back into your home.

It’s a full-system check to keep things running like they should.
Q: Is AC maintenance really necessary?
A: Yes. It keeps your system running efficiently, lowers your energy bills, and helps prevent breakdowns. Plus, it’s usually required by the manufacturer to keep your equipment warranty valid.
Q: How long does an AC tune-up take?
A: About 60 to 90 minutes. If we find something that needs attention, we’ll let you know with honest, upfront options—no pressure.
Q: Do you offer maintenance plans?

Q: Can maintenance fix cooling problems?
A: Sometimes! If your system is underperforming due to dirty components or airflow issues, a tune-up can make a noticeable difference. If something’s broken, we’ll identify it and explain your repair options clearly.

A: Absolutely. If your system is low on refrigerant, we’ll look for leaks, check pressure, and let you know if a recharge or repair is needed.
