If you live in Palm Beach County, you know just how hard air conditioners work. Between the heat and humidity, your AC system is under constant stress. The good news? With proper maintenance, you can avoid surprise breakdowns, keep energy bills down, and enjoy better air quality. Here’s a breakdown of how AC maintenance makes a difference — and how we at Old School Air Conditioning help make sure your system is always ready to perform.

What Can Routine AC Maintenance Do for You?

Giving your AC regular check-ups isn’t just nice—it’s essential. Here’s what regular upkeep offers:

  • Lower Energy Costs — A well-maintained unit runs more smoothly, putting less strain on your home’s energy system.

  • Longer System Lifespan — Small issues caught early won’t turn into big, expensive problems later.

  • Cleaner Indoor Air — Clean filters, ducts, and coils reduce dust, pollen, and allergens circulating in your home.

  • Fewer Unplanned Repairs — When we check the system regularly, we catch potential problems before they escalate.

What Our AC Maintenance Includes

When you schedule a  AC maintenance visit with us, we go through a detailed checklist to make sure every part of your AC is in sound condition:

  1. Full System Inspection
    We examine all major components — the compressor, coils, refrigerant levels, electrical wiring — to spot any warning signs.

  2. Filter Service
    Depending on your type of system, that means cleaning or replacing filters so that airflow remains strong and consistent.

  3. Thermostat Calibration
    We make sure the thermostat is reading accurately so your system isn’t working harder than it needs to.

  4. Coil Cleaning
    Evaporator and condenser coils accumulate dust, which reduces efficiency. We clean these to help your system cool more effectively.

  5. Electrical Check
    Loose or damaged wiring can lead to problems. We check all connections and tighten them if needed.

  6. Refrigerant Level Check
    Low refrigerant means decreased cooling power. We check levels and recharge if necessary (where safe and legal).

  7. Lubrication of Moving Parts
    To reduce wear and tear, we make sure all motors, fans, and bearings are properly lubricated.

How to Know When It’s Time for Maintenance

Sometimes your system tells you it needs help. Keep an eye out for:

  • Sluggish cooling or rooms that take longer than usual to get cool

  • Odd noises like grinding, buzzing, or rattling

  • Spikes in your energy bills without corresponding increases in use

  • Unusual or unpleasant smells coming from your vents

If you notice any of these, it’s a good idea to schedule a maintenance check right away.
