📅 How Often Should You Schedule AC Maintenance?
Plan for air conditioning maintenance once a year. We have found that inspection can be performed at any time during the cooling season. Consistency in yearly maintenance is more important than the date it’s performed. Between visits, keep your system in good shape by:
- 🔁 Replacing filters regularly (depends on filter type, pets, and dust levels)
- 🌿 Keeping at least 2 feet of clearance around your outdoor AC unit
- 🚿 Rinsing away leaves, grass, or debris from the outdoor coil

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About AC Maintenance
