To maintain a long-lasting, efficient, low-cost AC system, regular maintenance is crucial. First Call Jewel recommends at least one annual inspection to ensure optimal effectiveness of your unit. These systems commonly experience dirt buildup, refrigerant leaks, filter congestion, and more. These are relatively minor issues that can be dealt with quick and cheap by a First Call Jewel expert.

For extra convenience, we'll set you up on an optional maintenance plan to make regular AC inspections care free and simple.

AC Maintenance FAQ

Regular maintenance usually falls between 6 months - 1 year for recommended professional inspection. A First Call Jewel specialist will become more familiar with your exact system through regular inspections, as well as detect any potential issues that could cost more money down the road.

To help maintain your AC system, homeowners are encouraged to regularly inspect their unit for ice buildup around coils, the consistency of the airflow, and the effectiveness of the cooling throughout the house. By detecting issues early on, homeowners can save thousands without having to repair or replace worsened issues.

If you find ice on or around the coils or other parts of your AC unit, turn off the AC and leave the fan running. The AC will still run air through the unit while thawing out the built up ice. This process usually takes anywhere from 4 - 6 hours, which is when you can fully power your AC back on.
