โ„๏ธ The Importance of Regular Servicing of Air Conditioners

A Guide to AC Maintenance and Peace of Mind in Brevard County, Florida

Have you ever found yourself sweating through a Florida summer, wondering why your air conditioner picked the worst time to quit? The truth is, most AC breakdowns don’t just happen—they build up from a lack of maintenance. At Quality Comfort Air Conditioning and Heating Inc., we believe regular servicing isn’t just important—it’s essential.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the real benefits of annual AC maintenance, how often you should schedule service, a complete checklist of what should be included, plus DIY tips and signs it’s time to call in the pros.


โœ… Why Regular AC Maintenance Matters

๐ŸŒ€ Enhanced Efficiency

Clean coils, new filters, and properly calibrated thermostats mean your AC doesn’t have to work harder than necessary. Less strain = lower energy bills and a longer system life.

๐Ÿ›‘ Prevent Expensive Repairs

Catching issues like refrigerant leaks, blocked drain lines, or a failing capacitor during a routine check prevents you from paying thousands in mid-season emergency repairs.

๐Ÿซ Healthier Indoor Air Quality

Dust, allergens, and moisture buildup can seriously reduce the quality of the air you breathe. Regular servicing includes cleaning filters, coils, and drains to help keep your air clean and fresh.


๐Ÿ“† How Often Should You Service Your AC?

We recommend two visits per year:

  • Spring Tune-Up – Prep your system for summer cooling
  • Fall Maintenance – Keeps your heat pump or furnace in shape and your AC components clean

In Brevard County’s climate, where your system runs year-round, bi-annual maintenance is ideal.


๐Ÿงฐ Our Full AC Maintenance Checklist

When you schedule maintenance with Quality Comfort, here’s what you can expect:

  • โœ… Replace or clean air filters
  • โœ… Clean evaporator and condenser coils
  • โœ… Flush and inspect the condensate drain line
  • โœ… Check and calibrate the thermostat
  • โœ… Inspect fan motor, compressor, and capacitors
  • โœ… Tighten electrical connections
  • โœ… Clean the outdoor unit of debris
  • โœ… Check refrigerant levels and pressure
  • โœ… Test system operation
  • โœ… Document any concerns or recommendations

We don’t do guesswork—we do it right the first time.


๐Ÿงผ DIY Air Conditioner Maintenance Tips

While we recommend leaving most AC servicing to the professionals, there are a few things homeowners can do between visits:

๐Ÿชฃ 1. Replace Filters Every 30–60 Days

Especially during peak usage or if you have pets. A dirty filter chokes airflow and strains your system.

๐ŸŒฌ 2. Keep Vents Clear

Blocked registers reduce airflow. Keep furniture and rugs away, and vacuum out dust regularly.

๐Ÿšฟ 3. Rinse the Outdoor Condenser

Spray it gently with a hose (never high pressure). Clear away grass clippings, leaves, and dirt that can block airflow.

๐Ÿงช 4. Flush the Condensate Drain

Use distilled vinegar to flush the drain line every few months to prevent clogs and mold buildup.

  • Your system won’t turn on

  • The system short-cycles (turns on and off rapidly)
