Routine Maintenance Inspections
Each year your air conditioning system is not regularly maintained, it loses nearly 5% of its original efficiency. Don’t ignore one of the largest most intricate systems in your home or you’ll end up with more problems and you’ll spend more money to run it. The best way to avoid the issues and save money on your energy bill is to have routine maintenance performed.
Our team of professional technicians will perform a variety of important maintenance tasks depending on the size and type of AC System you have:
- Cleaning coils and radiator to clear them of debris that will make your unit less efficient
- Ensure the unit has proper refrigerant levels
- Clean debris from inside your Air Handler
- Check all Air Filters to see if they need to be replaced
- Inspect compressor and associated tubing for any damage
- Ensure the drain is clear of debris and draining condensation away from your unit properly
Maintenance Plans Save You Money!
When an AC unit isn’t operating at 100% efficiency, it requires more electricity to keep the environment cool. If your AC is lacking in efficiency it might not be resting as much as it could, costing you money every month.
When you schedule routine AC maintenance in Jupiter, technicians will inspect, identify, and resolve minor problems with your unit before they get worse and require repair.
Failing to maintain your AC System can result if having the replace the system entirely before you should need to. Damaged coils and overworked components can be worn out early requiring the system to be replace rather than repaired.

FAQs
How Often Should I Change My AC Filter?
You should be changing your air filter at least monthly at a minimum. A clean filter is a good filter. You shouldn’t wait until your filter is dirty to change it. We recommend using a subscription service online to make it easier to remember. This is the single easiest way to extend the life of your AC unit and improve your indoor air quality.
Is There Anything I Can Do to Make My AC More Energy Efficient?
Here are a few easy ways to minimize your energy use and cooling costs in the South Florida heat:
- Change the air conditioning filter at least monthly with a high quality filter.
- Make sure all air vents are open and unrestricted.
- Get a programmable thermostat so your AC doesn’t run continually when you’re gone.
- Do regular maintenance. We recommend at least bi-annually or every six months.
How Often Does My AC Need Maintenance?
Your AC should have maintenance done at least every 6 months, sometimes more depending on usage and lifestyle. If you are running more, have kids, dogs, or a lot of activity in the home, consider quarterly maintenance. Regular preventive service can extend the life of your unit. A clean filter prevents breakdowns and has a positive effect on the air quality in your home.
At Brown Mechanical, we offer an annual Maintenance Program. Avoid costly emergencies and long wait times. Having a Professional Maintenance Schedule will significantly reduce drain clogs, improves efficiency of the unit, and prolongs the life of your system.
