What Happens During Keefe's AC Maintenance?

Think of your AC precision tune-up like your annual check up, everything might seem fine, but a closer look can catch issues before they become serious. Keefe’s expert AC technicians follow a 25-point cooling checklist to inspect every critical component of your system to keep it running at peak performance! Here is a sneak peek of what your AC technician will do:

  • Complete cleaning of condenser coils to maximize efficiency.
  • Checking and tightening all electrical connections.
  • Testing thermostat calibration for accurate temperature control.
  • Lubricating all moving parts to reduce friction and wear.
  • Checking refrigerant levels to confirm optimal cooling capacity.
  • Cleaning or replacing air filters for better air quality.
  • Inspection of ductwork for leaks or blockages.
  • Testing system controls to verify proper cycling.
  • And more!

Our maintenance visits won’t be too long, depending on your system’s size, condition, and what else we find doing our checks. You’ll also get a complete report of what we found and any recommendations for your specific situation.

Why Regular Air Conditioning Maintenance Is Important

Stay cool, save money, and stress less with preventive AC maintenance that keeps your system ahead of the heat.

  • Protects Your Wallet with Lower Utility Bills: Regular maintenance can help your AC use up to 30% less energy — something you’ll notice every time your utility bill arrives.
  • Extends the Life of Your System: Catching and addressing wear-and-tear early prevents the kind of damage that leads to early system replacement, potentially saving you thousands.
  • Delivers Consistent, Reliable Comfort: If your home has hot and cold spots or your AC seems to always be playing catch-up, it’s time for maintenance.
  • Keeps Indoor Air Clean and Healthy: Maintenance keeps your air clean, which is especially important if someone in your home has asthma or allergies.
  • Reduces the Risk of Sudden Breakdowns: Maintenance helps you avoid a sudden breakdown by catching loose wires, worn-out parts, and other red flags before they turn into disasters.
  • Gives You Peace of Mind: When your AC gets professional attention on a regular schedule, you don’t have to wonder if it’s up to the challenge of the next heatwave.

Frequently Asked Questions About AC Maintenance

We recommend having your AC system professionally serviced at least once a year, preferably in the spring before the cooling season kicks into high gear. This keeps your system clean, efficient, and ready to perform.

Absolutely. A well-maintained system can use up to 30% less energy than a neglected one, which means noticeable savings on your monthly utility bill.

Most tune-ups take between 45 minutes to 1.5 hours, depending on your system’s condition and any findings during our inspection. We always respect your time and keep you informed throughout.

We sure do. Our certified HVAC technicians are trained to maintain all makes and models, including both central air systems and heat pumps.

We’ll explain the issue in plain language, walk you through your options, and give you an honest quote for repairs.

No. Although, you can expect our expert Air Conditioning team to give you an option sheet on ways to keep your systems running at top performance. These option sheets are exactly that – just options, never mandatory or expected. Our HVAC experts present these options to our customers so the customer is aware of exactly what is going on with their system to avoid emergencies.

Signs You Need AC Maintenance Right Away

Your AC system often gives warning signs before a major breakdown. Paying attention to these signals can save you from uncomfortable days without cooling and costly emergency repairs. Look out for these telltale indicators:

  • Strange noises coming from your unit: Grinding, squealing, or banging sounds signal mechanical problems that need immediate attention.
  • Weak airflow from vents: When air barely moves through your vents, your system works harder and costs more to run.
  • Uneven cooling throughout your home: Do some rooms feel perfect while others stay warm? This points to distribution or capacity issues.
  • Rising energy bills without explanation: A sudden spike in your electricity costs often means your AC runs inefficiently.
  • Frequent cycling on and off: Your system should run in reasonably consistent cycles, not short bursts.
  • Musty or unusual odors: These can indicate mold growth or electrical problems that require professional attention.

Don’t ignore these warning signs. Call Keefe’s at the first indication of trouble. For Fast Relief, Call KEEFE!

Problems That Regular AC Maintenance Prevents

Regular maintenance actively prevents many common AC issues that can disrupt your comfort and drain your wallet. By staying on top of maintenance, you avoid:

  1. Complete system failures that leave you sweating during hot Louisiana summers. Nothing feels worse than your AC quitting during a heatwave when repair companies have long waiting lists.
  2. Reduced system lifespan that forces early replacement. Your AC should last 10-15 years, but neglected systems often fail years earlier, costing you thousands in premature replacement.
  3. Poor indoor air quality can trigger allergies and respiratory issues. Dirty components circulate dust, pollen, and even mold throughout your home.
  4. Skyrocketing energy bills from inefficient operation. A well-maintained system uses up to 30% less energy than a neglected one – savings you’ll notice every month.
  5. Expensive emergency repairs that could have been simple fixes if caught earlier. The difference in cost can be dramatic when comparing preventive maintenance to emergency service calls.
