A thorough bi-annual maintenance visit should cover every component of your cooling system. Condenser coils: cleaned with coil cleaner and compressed air to remove dust buildup that causes overheating. Evaporator coils: inspected for ice buildup, corrosion, and restricted airflow. Refrigerant: pressure-tested to verify proper charge (low charge always indicates a leak that must be found and repaired). Thermostat: calibrated and compared against a reference thermometer for accuracy. Humidity sensor: tested and calibrated if equipped. Condensate drain: flushed to prevent blockage and mold growth. Fan motors: lubricated and tested for proper RPM and airflow. Electrical connections: inspected and tightened. Cabinet seals: checked for gaps that allow heat infiltration. A written service report documenting all findings should be provided after every visit.
