Routine AC maintenance in Springfield, MO can boost the efficiency of your cooling system. Basic tasks like cleaning interior components and lubricating moving parts are part of this process. Our team at Reed's Plumbing & Excavating recommends scheduling an air conditioning tune-up annually. Ideally, make your appointment in early spring before you are relying on your AC heavily.

Springfield AC Maintenance Appointments

Summers bring hot and humid air to the Springfield area, and your AC system works hard to keep your home comfortable all season long. Scheduling a tune-up for your air conditioning system supports reliability, efficiency, and convenience throughout the spring and summer months.

Our team will check your refrigerant lines for signs of leaks during this appointment. If refrigerant levels are low, we can find the source of damage to lines and recharge your system. Some repairs will need a separate appointment if they fall outside the scope of maintenance, but we’ll set you up with a convenient time and date. Inspecting electrical connections, tightening loose components, and checking your thermostat are also part of the inspection process.

Cleaning the condenser and evaporator coils will improve heat transfer. You may notice your cooling bills are lower after this maintenance. Lubricating belts, fans, and motors can reduce friction and prevent damage.

Testing the temperature differential between your supply and return air can help our team spot issues early. Minor repairs are more affordable than catastrophic issues that can shut down your cooling equipment. We also test safety controls, ensuring you can cool your home without electrical hazards or chemical exposure. AC maintenance also supports healthy indoor air quality, which is important for your well-being.

There are signs to watch out for that indicate the need for routine maintenance.
  • Skipped last season
  • Bad odors coming from vents
  • Hot or cold spots
  • Weak airflow
  • Increase in energy bills

In addition to professional maintenance, make sure you address a few tasks yourself. Change your HVAC filter every 30 to 90 days. Inspect your outdoor condenser periodically. Clear away any debris that is around the unit. Leaves, weeds, and garbage can impede airflow and cause physical damage.
