How often should I get my AC tuned up in Gilbert?

Once a year is a good rule for most Gilbert homes, ideally in spring before the heat arrives. If your system is a heat pump that also heats the house, a second visit in the fall is worth considering.

I have two AC systems. Do both need a tune-up?

Yes. Each system has its own outdoor unit, coil, drain and electrical parts, and each one can fail on its own. We service both in the same visit.

My air handler is in the attic. Why does the drain matter so much?

An attic air handler sits over your ceiling. If the drain line clogs and the safety switch does not work, water can overflow the pan and soak through. Clearing the drain and testing the switch is part of every tune-up we do.

Can I clean my own outdoor unit?

You can rinse loose dust off the outside of the coil gently with a garden hose, from the inside out if you can, with the power off at the disconnect. Do not use a pressure washer, which can flatten the fins. Keep plants and debris a couple of feet away from the unit.

Do you cover my part of Gilbert?

We work all of Gilbert, ZIP codes 85233, 85234, 85295, 85296, 85297 and 85298, including Val Vista Lakes, Morrison Ranch, Power Ranch, Agritopia, Seville, Higley Groves and the Heritage District. Call us to confirm your street.

Will a tune-up find problems that are not urgent yet?

That is the main point of it. A capacitor that tests weak or a contactor that is starting to pit can keep working for a while, then quit on the hottest day. We show you what we find and you decide what to fix now.

What a Gilbert Tune-Up Covers

Phoenix area air conditioners run hard for most of the year. Under NOAA's 1991 to 2020 normals, the area averages about 111 days a year at 100 degrees or hotter. A tune-up is the chance to fix the small things before the long run starts.

Outdoor Unit: We clean the condenser coil, test the capacitor and contactor, check the fan motor and tighten the electrical connections. These are the parts that fail most often on a Gilbert summer afternoon.
Refrigerant Charge: We read pressures and temperatures to confirm the charge is right. If it is low, there is a leak, and we will tell you where we think it is and what it would take to fix.
Indoor Coil and Blower: We check the evaporator coil, the blower wheel and the filter, and we measure the temperature split so you know how the system is really performing.
Condensate Drain: Two story Gilbert homes often have an air handler in the attic over living space. We clear the drain line and check the float switch and pan so a clog does not become a ceiling stain.
Thermostat: We confirm the thermostat is calling correctly and reading the room temperature accurately, including on homes with more than one zone or system.

Things a Gilbert Tune-Up Often Turns Up

Condensers Boxed In by Walls and Landscaping: HOA screen walls, hedges and side yard gates can trap hot air around the outdoor unit. The system then breathes its own exhaust. We check clearances and tell you if the unit needs more room.
Dust From Monsoon Storms: Summer dust storms coat outdoor coils and plug filters fast. A coil that looks fine from a distance can be matted with fine dust. Cleaning it helps the system keep up in the hottest weeks.
Irrigation Spray on the Outdoor Unit: Sprinklers that hit the condenser leave mineral deposits on the coil and can corrode it over time. A small sprinkler head adjustment protects an expensive part.
Two and Three System Homes: Bigger Gilbert floor plans often have two or more systems, frequently installed at the same time. We service each one and let you know if one is aging faster than the other.
Systems Reaching Middle Age: Many Gilbert homes were built in the 1990s and 2000s. A system in its second decade is where worn capacitors, tired motors and slow leaks start showing up.
