Keeping Your AC Running Before Problems Start

Annual preventative maintenance for air conditioning systems in Matthews, North Carolina.

Your air conditioning system operates for months at a time in Matthews, moving air, removing humidity, and cycling refrigerant through coils and compressors without much attention. Over time, dust builds up on coils, filters become clogged, refrigerant levels drop slightly, and electrical connections loosen. Preventative maintenance addresses these issues before they cause breakdowns, reduce efficiency, or shorten the lifespan of your equipment. Boaz provides professional AC maintenance for homeowners and businesses throughout Matthews.

Our maintenance service includes a full system inspection, cleaning of coils and components, refrigerant and airflow checks, electrical and safety testing, and filter replacement recommendations. We identify worn parts, measure system performance, and alert you to potential issues before they require emergency repairs. Regular maintenance improves energy efficiency, reduces unexpected failures, and helps your system last longer while maintaining consistent indoor comfort.

If your AC system has not been serviced in the past year, contact Boaz to schedule preventative maintenance in Matthews.

What We Check During Your Maintenance Visit

When we perform maintenance on your AC system in Matthews, we start by inspecting the outdoor condenser unit for debris, checking refrigerant levels, and cleaning the evaporator and condenser coils. Dirty coils reduce airflow and force your system to work harder, which increases energy use and wear on components. We also test electrical connections, measure voltage and amperage, and tighten any loose terminals that could cause overheating or failures.

After maintenance, your system will cool more efficiently, use less energy, and respond faster when the thermostat calls for cooling. You will notice quieter operation, more consistent temperatures throughout your home or business, and fewer instances of the system running longer than necessary to reach the set temperature. Your energy bills will remain stable or decrease compared to an unmaintained system, and your equipment will be less likely to fail during peak cooling season.

We also inspect your thermostat calibration, check drain lines for clogs, examine blower motor operation, and replace or recommend replacement of air filters based on condition. If we find worn components or developing issues, we explain what we found and what repair timeline makes sense. Maintenance does not include repairs, but it helps you plan for them before they become urgent.

Will maintenance prevent my system from breaking down?
Maintenance reduces the likelihood of unexpected failures by addressing wear and performance issues early. It cannot prevent every breakdown, but it significantly lowers your risk and helps your system last longer.
