Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What effects do dirty components have on my system?

A. Dirt blocks heat transfer, which causes or contributes to all or some of the following:

• Compressor and/or fan motors run hot, lubrication breaks down and life is shortented.
• Heating and cooling capacity is reduced, increasing operating costs
• Compressor valves can be damaged due to refrigerant (Freon) flood back.
• Coil can ice over, stopping all cooling and possibly causing damage due to a condensate water leak.

Q. How often should my system be cleaned?

A. Location, running time, and type of system all affect how often a system will need cleaning.  However, no matter how diligently you change your filters, your system should be cleaned at least once a year.

Q. What is the best way to get these cleanings done?

A. You can call us for a maintenance cleaning on your system.  You pay whatever regular charges are in effect at the time.  Or, you can become one of our Planned Service Agreement (PSA) customers.  Let our customer service representatives explain all the benefits, including your savings in operating costs resulting from a clean system.
