Our AC Maintenance Services
What’s Included in Element’s AC Maintenance Service
When you schedule AC maintenance with Element, we go beyond a quick checkup. Every visit includes a full system cleaning, safety inspection, and performance tune-up designed for St. George’s hot, dusty climate.
Here’s what’s included:
- Filter inspection and replacement: We inspect your AC filter for dust and red sand buildup (common in southern Utah) and replace it if needed to restore clean airflow and protect your system.
- Coil cleaning (indoor and outdoor): Dirty coils are the #1 cause of poor cooling. We clean both the indoor evaporator coil and outdoor condenser coil so your system can release heat efficiently and cool your home faster.
- Blower and fan motor check: We inspect, clean, and lubricate the blower assembly and fan motor to ensure smooth operation and prevent strain on the motor bearings.
- Refrigerant pressure and temperature testing: Low or uneven refrigerant pressure can cause weak cooling or frozen coils. We measure system pressure and temperature to confirm the refrigerant level is within safe, efficient range.
- Electrical connection tightening: Loose wiring or worn connectors can cause overheating or short cycling. We tighten and test all electrical connections for safety and performance.
- Thermostat calibration: Your thermostat is the brain of your cooling system. We check its accuracy, recalibrate if needed, and confirm it’s communicating correctly with your AC unit.
- Drain line inspection and cleaning: Condensate drain lines can clog with algae or mineral buildup, especially in hard water areas like St. George. We flush and clean the line to prevent leaks or water damage.
- System efficiency and airflow diagnostics: We measure airflow across vents, test temperature differentials, and verify that your AC is operating at peak efficiency for even, consistent comfort throughout your home.
Every visit wraps up with a performance report and clear service recommendations, so you know exactly how your system is performing, and what can help it run even better.
DIY Maintenance vs. Professional Service
A little bit of at-home care goes a long way toward keeping your AC in good shape.
Here are a few easy things you can do yourself:
- Change the air filter regularly: Check it every month during summer and replace it at least every 1–3 months. Clean filters keep airflow strong and prevent your system from overworking.
- Keep the outdoor unit clear: Sweep away leaves, red sand, and debris around the condenser so it can breathe and release heat properly.
- Rinse coils gently: If you’re comfortable doing so, you can hose off light dust from the outdoor coil; just turn off the power first.
- Check your thermostat: Make sure it’s working properly and the batteries aren’t dead.
These small steps help your system stay clean between professional visits.
But when it comes to the deeper stuff like checking refrigerant levels, cleaning coils inside the air handler, or tightening electrical connections, that’s where a licensed HVAC technician is worth it.
A professional AC maintenance service includes specialized tools, gauges, and safety checks the average homeowner can’t perform. Technicians spot early warning signs before they become costly repairs, test for efficiency, and make sure your system is safe to run all summer long.
