Book Your Air Conditioner Tune Up Today
Regular air conditioning maintenance is the easiest way to stay comfortable and avoid surprise breakdowns. Once you schedule a visit, our dispatcher confirms your preferred time, filter size, and any cooling issues you have noticed. A certified technician arrives on time, washes the outdoor coil, checks refrigerant charge, tightens electrical connections, and measures airflow at each register. We share a simple health report, replace the filter, and show small adjustments that can lower summer energy bills. If we spot a worn part that could fail later, you see the price and benefit before we touch a tool, so you decide with confidence and never face a mid season emergency.
Routine AC Maintenance That Prevents Breakdowns When You Need Cooling Most
Last spring we visited a Hillsboro homeowner who noticed their AC had been getting louder and taking longer to cool each year, but nothing had failed yet. They almost skipped their annual tune up, but decided to schedule before summer hit. During the visit, our technician found a heavily clogged outdoor coil, a weak capacitor, and an airflow imbalance caused by a small duct leak. None of these issues had caused a full breakdown yet, but they were all working against the system and driving up energy use.
After walking them through each finding, he cleaned the coil, replaced the capacitor, sealed the duct leak, and checked refrigerant and electrical starts. When they turned the system back on, it cooled faster, cycled more evenly, and ran noticeably quieter. A few weeks later during the season’s first heat spike, they sent us a message saying it was the first year their AC handled the heat without any trouble.
This is what AC maintenance is meant to do. It extends equipment life, prevents last minute emergencies, and makes your home more comfortable long before peak temperatures hit. A little attention once a year keeps your AC running the way it should.

Frequently Asked Questions About AC Maintenance
Regular maintenance is one of the best ways to keep your air conditioner running smoothly and avoid expensive repairs. Below are answers to the most common AC maintenance questions we hear from homeowners throughout Hillsboro, Beaverton, and nearby communities.
How often should I schedule AC maintenance?
Most systems perform best with one professional tune up each year, ideally in spring before the first heat wave. Yearly maintenance helps prevent breakdowns and keeps your cooling system running efficiently.
What does an AC tune up include?
A comprehensive tune up checks refrigerant levels, electrical components, airflow, coils, drain lines, thermostat calibration, and overall system performance. The technician also cleans key parts to help the system run smoothly.
Can AC maintenance really prevent repairs?
Yes. Many common breakdowns start as small issues like weak capacitors, clogged coils, or restricted airflow. Catching and fixing these early often prevents costly repairs or mid season failures.
What happens if I skip AC maintenance for a year?
Skipping one year may not cause immediate failure, but small issues can build up and shorten the life of your system. Homeowners who skip maintenance often experience higher energy bills and more frequent repairs over time.
Does AC maintenance help lower my energy bills?
In many cases, yes. A well maintained AC does not have to work as hard to cool your home. Clean coils, proper refrigerant levels, and strong airflow often lead to smoother operation and reduced energy consumption.
