A common mistake property owners make with their air conditioners is not scheduling service until there’s a repair issue. A better approach is to schedule prompt, routine AC maintenance in St. Charles, IL.
Air Choice Heating & Cooling can perform an air conditioner tune-up in the spring before you need your AC. It will lower your cooling costs and help you avoid repair issues.

An air conditioner tune-up is not an additional cost but rather an opportunity to save. During a tune-up, a technician will perform a multi-point inspection, clean your equipment, and correct any wear and tear. Most HVAC warranties require it as a condition of coverage. Cleaner equipment runs more efficiently. It also lasts longer and is less prone to repairs.
All ACs require a filter to keep dust and other particulates out of the system. It’s necessary to check that filter and either replace or clean it as needed. If your system supports a higher-grade filter, a technician may discuss that with you. Upgrading to a higher MERV rating will protect your equipment better and promote good indoor air quality.
AC systems have a compressor or condenser unit, which we place outside. It houses a coil and pump that are essential to the refrigeration process. The condenser coil requires cleaning to ensure efficient heat exchange. The pump and fan need relubrication, and the fan may need blade balancing. Sometimes, we may need to take apart and rebuild the pump.
The blower is typically indoors, such as in the attic. It requires lubrication and replacement of any worn ball bearings. It may need balancing, too. With increased wear and tear, it may require a motor rebuild or capacitor replacement. Older blowers may have a belt that needs replacement over time.
The evaporator coil is usually indoors and integral to the refrigeration process as well. Like the condenser coil, it needs cleaning to ensure maximum efficiency. Condensation drips into a pan that requires cleaning. A wet switch protects against flooding and needs testing. If the drain pipe has a clog, our technicians will clear it out.
The thermostat requires cleaning, too, such as the contacts under the faceplate. AC maintenance is also an excellent opportunity to test the thermostat and calibrate it if necessary. That can include temperature and relative humidity readings. It can also extend to smart features like energy monitoring, occupancy sensing, and predictive maintenance.
