How Often Should I Schedule Air Conditioning Maintenance?

Given Florida's extended cooling season and the constant demand placed on AC units, consistent professional attention is essential for optimal performance and energy efficiency. That’s why you should generally schedule air conditioning maintenance at least once a year, ideally in the spring, before the intense heat and humidity of summer set in. This annual check-up helps our team at Swift Brothers keep your system running efficiently, catch minor issues before they become major problems, and prolong the lifespan of your equipment. 

Several factors might call for more frequent inspections. If you have older air conditioning equipment (approaching or past the ten-year mark), more frequent checks can help our technicians monitor its deteriorating components and address potential issues proactively. High usage is another key factor. If your system runs almost continuously due to your having a large home, poor insulation, or simply very high cooling demands, your equipment will accumulate wear and tear faster and benefit from more regular attention. 

Commercial buildings may also need more regular AC maintenance, especially for larger facilities with sensitive equipment or inventory. Our experts can assess your specific situation, including your system's age, usage patterns, and building needs, to determine the appropriate and most beneficial maintenance schedule for your air conditioning equipment.

Signs Your Air Conditioning System Needs Professional Repairs

You should always address signs of trouble with your air conditioning system as soon as possible. What might seem like a minor issue can quickly escalate into a more significant and costly problem if left unattended, potentially leading to a complete system breakdown when you need your AC most. Early detection and repair can save you money on more expensive fixes or even premature AC replacement, reduce energy waste from an inefficient system, and ultimately extend the lifespan of your equipment.

We offer same-day service and weekend appointments, so don’t wait to request professional AC repairs if you notice any of the following problems:

• Warm air coming from vents. If your AC is running but blowing warm or lukewarm air, something is obviously wrong. This could point to issues like a low refrigerant level due to a leak, a malfunctioning compressor, or a clogged condenser coil that prevents proper heat exchange.
• Weak airflow. If you notice that airflow from your vents is weak, inconsistent, or non-existent, your system is struggling. This often indicates a problem with the blower motor, clogged air filters, blocked ducts, or an issue with the indoor evaporator coil.
• Unusual noises. AC units typically make a low hum, but any new or loud noises warrant attention. Grinding or squealing sounds often suggest worn-out motor bearings. Banging or clanking could indicate a loose part inside the unit, while a clicking noise might point to an electrical issue or a faulty relay. Hissing sounds can signal a refrigerant leak.
• Strange odors. Persistent unpleasant smells coming from your AC vents are a red flag. A moldy or mildewy smell usually indicates moisture build-up and mold growth in the evaporator coil or drain pan. A burning smell could mean an electrical issue, such as a burning wire or motor, or simply a clogged filter causing overheating. 
• Increased energy bills. If your utility bills suddenly spike without a corresponding increase in usage, your AC unit is likely losing efficiency. This forces your system to work harder and longer to cool your home or business, consuming more energy due to issues like low refrigerant, dirty coils, or a failing compressor.
• Frequent cycling. If your AC unit turns on and off frequently in short bursts, it's "short cycling." This can be caused by an oversized unit, a dirty air filter, a malfunctioning thermostat, or a refrigerant leak. Short cycling not only wastes energy but also puts excessive strain on the compressor, potentially leading to premature failure.
• Water leaks around your unit. It's normal for AC units to produce condensation, which should drain away. However, if you see pooling water around your indoor unit, it often indicates a clogged condensate drain line, a frozen evaporator coil that's melting, or a damaged drain pan. 
• Ice build-up on coils or lines. Finding ice on your outdoor refrigerant lines or indoor evaporator coil is a serious sign of trouble. This usually points to insufficient airflow (due to a dirty filter or blocked ducts), a low refrigerant charge, or a malfunctioning blower fan. Continuing to run an iced-up unit can severely damage the compressor.
• Thermostat malfunctions: If your thermostat seems inaccurate, its display is blank, or it fails to trigger your AC unit, the issue might be with the thermostat itself rather than your cooling equipment. A faulty thermostat can lead to incorrect temperature readings, inconsistent cooling, or your unit not turning on at all.

If the issues with your air conditioning equipment cannot be repaired, we can help install an energy-efficient replacement and offer financing options. Call (904) 850-5744 or contact us online to schedule a service appointment today.
