AC Maintenance in Lafayette, CO

• Condenser Coil: Your outdoor unit’s coil releases the collected heat outside. It’s constantly exposed to the elements, accumulating dirt, grass clippings, and cottonwood fluff. A dirty condenser coil forces your compressor to work much harder to release heat, driving up energy consumption and putting immense strain on the system's most expensive component.

Our technicians thoroughly clean both coils, ensuring maximum heat transfer and restoring your system’s efficiency.

Thorough Filter Inspection and Replacement

A clogged air filter is one of the most common causes of AC problems. It restricts airflow, forcing your system’s fan motor to work overtime and potentially causing the evaporator coil to freeze over. This not only reduces cooling power but also diminishes your home's indoor air quality. During our visit, we will inspect your existing filter and replace it if necessary, recommending the right type of filter for your system and lifestyle.

Refrigerant Level and Pressure Check

Refrigerant is the lifeblood of your air conditioner, circulating through the system to absorb and release heat. Your AC is designed to operate with a precise amount of refrigerant. If the level is low, it almost always indicates a leak. Operating a system with low refrigerant will not only prevent it from cooling effectively but can also lead to catastrophic compressor failure. Our certified technicians will accurately check the refrigerant pressure and levels, identify any potential leaks, and ensure your system is charged correctly according to manufacturer specifications.

Complete System Tune-Up and Calibration

Our service includes a deep dive into the mechanical and electrical components of your air conditioner to ensure everything is operating safely and correctly:

• Electrical Connections: We inspect and tighten all electrical connections to prevent dangerous-short circuits and improve the lifespan of major components.
• Capacitors and Contactors: These parts are crucial for starting and running your motors. We test them to ensure they are within specification, as failing capacitors are a leading cause of AC breakdowns.
• Motor and Blower Assembly: We inspect the fan motor and blower assembly for wear and tear, ensuring proper airflow is delivered throughout your home. We also lubricate moving parts as needed to reduce friction and energy use.
• Condensate Drain Line: We check the condensate drain line for blockages. A clogged drain can cause water to back up, leading to significant water damage in your home and promoting mold growth.
• Thermostat Calibration: We verify your thermostat is reading the temperature correctly and communicating properly with the AC unit to ensure your comfort and prevent the system from running unnecessarily.
