Sacramento AC Maintenance

Sacramento’s Trusted AC Rejuvenation Service Since 2006

Like any complex machine, your air conditioner needs regular maintenance to run safely and efficiently. We recommend servicing your HVAC system twice a year: in the spring before cooling season and in the fall before heating season. The ideal time to schedule air conditioning maintenance is in spring and fall, before temperatures swing to either extreme.

When it’s time to service your system, count on Big Mountain Heating & Air Conditioning to get it ready for the season ahead. For only $99, our seasonal rejuvenation service covers both your AC and your furnace maintenance in a single visit, performed by trained and certified technicians who service every make and model. Schedule ahead of time, and our team can reach out to confirm your appointment as the date approaches.

What Are the Benefits of AC Maintenance?

Regular air conditioning maintenance improves performance, reduces energy consumption, and helps prevent costly breakdowns. Our trained and certified technicians service every make and model, and beyond the rejuvenation service itself, we locate any problems and present pressure-free solutions. If you decide to move forward with AC repairs, we can handle them on the spot.

Regular air conditioning maintenance offers numerous benefits, including:

• Better Performance: A well-maintained AC cools your home more consistently and comfortably than one that’s been neglected.
• Increased Efficiency: Cleaning and inspecting all components during a rejuvenation service helps your system run more efficiently, which can lower your energy costs depending on your usage patterns and system condition.
• Fewer Breakdowns: Routine maintenance lets us catch developing issues early and address them before they become major failures.
• Cost Savings: By reducing repair frequency, improving efficiency, and extending equipment life, regular maintenance can lower your overall ownership costs over time.
• Longer Equipment Lifespan: Reducing wear-and-tear through regular rejuvenation visits can support a longer useful life for your system and can push off replacement further into the future.

AC Maintenance FAQ

What are some AC maintenance tips for homes with pets?

Pets bring a lot of joy and a fair amount of hair, fur, and dander. In high concentrations, those airborne particles can affect both your indoor air quality and your AC system. Air filters in pet households tend to clog faster than usual, so check and clean them more frequently than the standard interval.

Vacuuming carpets and floor coverings regularly also helps. Dander and fur tend to collect in fibers and recirculate through the system each time air moves through the home. Keeping surfaces clean reduces how much makes it back into your filters.

How often should AC coils be cleaned?

AC coil cleaning is one of the key tasks our technicians complete during the rejuvenation service. We recommend cleaning your coils once a year as part of your annual AC rejuvenation. Clogged filters and other issues can cause coils to get dirty or even freeze between visits. The coils are essential to the cooling process, so if they do freeze up, our team can repair the issue quickly.

Do Split-System ACs Need to Be Serviced?

Yes. Ductless AC systems require annual maintenance just like any other system. The outdoor unit needs to be checked for proper mechanical function of the compressor, coils, and related components. The indoor unit needs a filter and airflow check to confirm it’s delivering conditioned air properly. The connections between both units also need to be inspected for leaks.

How do I clean my AC filter?

It depends on the type of filter your system uses. Reusable filters can be removed and washed with soap and water, but they must dry completely before going back in. A damp filter is a breeding ground for mold. Disposable filters should simply be replaced every few months, or more often in high-use or pet households.

Is there a wrong way to install an air filter?

Yes. Most air filters have directional arrows printed on the frame. Follow those arrows when reinstalling. A backward filter restricts airflow and puts added mechanical stress on the system. It won’t cause an immediate failure, but it’s a problem worth avoiding.

What happens if you don’t clean the air filter?

A clogged filter creates a cascade of problems. Your system has to work harder to push air through the blockage, which drives up energy use. Contaminants like mold and bacteria can accumulate in the filter and eventually circulate through the home. And with filtration compromised, indoor air quality drops, which can trigger allergy symptoms or respiratory discomfort for anyone sensitive to airborne pollutants.
