Simple Air Conditioner Maintenance Checklist

Simple Air Conditioner Maintenance Checklist.


Maintaining your air conditioner is essential for its efficiency, longevity, and your comfort.


Here's a simple checklist to ensure your AC unit runs smoothly throughout the cooling season: Monthly Tasks Check and Replace Filters Inspect the air filter monthly and replace it if it's dirty.


A clean filter improves air quality and system efficiency.


Seasonal Tasks.


Clean the Coils Both the evaporator and condenser coils collect dirt over time.


Clean the coils to maintain efficient heat exchange.


Inspect and Clean the Condensate Drain Ensure the condensate drain is not clogged.


A blocked drain can cause water damage and affect humidity levels.


Check the Thermostat Settings Ensure the thermostat is set to a comfortable temperature and functioning correctly.


Annual Tasks.


Inspect and Clean the Fins The aluminum fins on the condenser and evaporator coils can bend and block airflow.


Use a fin comb to clean and straighten them.


Check the Refrigerant Level Ensure the refrigerant level is correct.


Low refrigerant can decrease efficiency and damage the compressor.


Inspect the Ductwork Look for leaks or disconnections in the ductwork.


Properly sealed ducts improve system efficiency and indoor air quality.


Lubricate Moving Parts Lubricate the motor and other moving parts to reduce friction and wear.


Tighten Electrical Connections Inspect and tighten all electrical connections to ensure safe and reliable operation.


Inspect the Insulation Check the insulation on the refrigerant lines leading to the house.


Replace if it's damaged or missing.


By following this simple air conditioner maintenance checklist, you can keep your AC unit in excellent condition, ensuring optimal performance and comfort throughout the cooling season.


For more detailed maintenance or if you encounter any issues, consider scheduling professional service with a trusted provider like Twintech Heating and Cooling.

by Robert, Pickering on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Had new furnace installed and ran into some difficulties but the contractor responded in a timely and efficient manner - after further service calls were made, a reasonable resolution was found.

by Brian Burns, Whitby on Twintech Heating and Cooling

The work was done quickly efficiently neatly and professionally. Pleased with the service, information, product, and the company.

by Geoff, Port Perry on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Great sales member named Dave came in told us some amazing items and how they would be priced installed an all. We couldn’t believe it! The next day the ac was installed, that day one employee named Greg told us that our furnace was working way to hard and was causing us to use way too much gas. So two days later they came in an installed a new furnace!

by MB, Ajax on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Installation was done quickly and professionally. The new furnace is quiet and provides even heat.

by Richard from Oshawa on Twintech Heating and Cooling

They removed and discarded old furnace. Installed new furnace. Installed air intake pipe, that had never been installed by builder, no charge. Replaced loose hose on floor with hard pipe and rerouted it to drain, no charge. Almost 33% cheaper then quote from Enercare, which was the company we dealt with and had insurance with for 8 years. No yearly fee for cleaning/insurance, saves 300 a year. Courteous, professional, fast, and friendly. My wife and I have been recommending them to everyone we know and meet, and will continue to do so. Thanks for everything, Twintech!!!

by Darcy from Pickering on Twintech Heating and Cooling

This company was great to deal with. Our furnace went down and they installed a new furnace the next day with a lot of professionalism!

by gillian hooton from Uxbridge on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Finally! An honest company with highly knowledgeable and informative staff. Had a furnace service and found multiply errors in our system from an amateur installer. Very fair price to correct problems and will definitely use again.

by dflynn in Ajax on Twintech Heating and Cooling

by alisiena from Toronto on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Fantastic team. Completed the job as per the specifications and in under 3 hours. Highly recommended Twintech.

by David from Toronto on Twintech Heating and Cooling

During the summer, I previously hired TwinTech to replace my air conditioner when it failed. They did an excellent job so when I decided to proactively replace the furnace I contacted them. The furnace I had was 22 years old and showed signs of internal leakage. It still worked but rather than wait to have it fail in cold weather, I decided to purchase a higher efficiency model before it failed and take advantage of energy efficiency rebates. TwinTech offered very useful advice on the make and model of furnace to choose including high efficiency and variable speed motor. The price was reasonable, TwinTech arrived at the allotted time, installed the new furnace (including some re-routing of exhaust lines since the existing ones were too close to other vents), removed the old furnace, tested the installation and cleaned everything up. Overall, it was a good experience, they did a great job and the new furnace is working well.

We were new homeowners in need of a second opinion. TwinTech Heating & Cooling were Amazing and professional. Very knowledgeable and great service all around. Recommend to anyone looking for honest and reliable services. Treated with respect and care. Thank you Greg, Mitch and Bob!

by Ruth on Twintech Heating and Cooling

TwinTech is an excellent and honest company! I called them for a second opinion after being told by another company that I needed to replace my furnace. Turns out this was not the case at all! I did not need a new furnace. TwinTech did not push to make an unnecessary sale and saved me from a huge expense. Bob and Mitch were extremely professional and above all honest! I definitely recommend TwinTech!

by Anna Chin on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Amazing experience with TwinTech Heating & Cooling! Their team was professional, knowledgeable, and efficient from start to finish. They installed my new furnace quickly and left everything spotless. The technicians took the time to explain everything and made sure I was comfortable with the system before they left. Great customer service and fair pricing. I highly recommend them for anyone needing HVAC services!

by Connor Agnew on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Great experience all around. Bob was sharp and easy to talk to, and Greg handled the installation perfectly. Would hire them again in a heartbeat.
