When the humidity’s high and the sun won’t quit, your air conditioner has to be on its A-game. Regular air conditioning maintenance from Clear the Air Cooling & Heating keeps it that way—cleaner, cooler, and way less likely to break down. Don’t wait for it to give out—schedule your AC maintenance in South Houston today.

Beat the Heat Before It Beats Your AC System

Think about it—would you drive your car 50,000 miles without changing the oil? Of course not. That kind of neglect leads to serious (and expensive) damage. The same goes for your AC unit. Without regular maintenance, your cooling system has to work harder, burns more energy, and wears out faster than it should. And really—why pay for a new air conditioner months (or even years) before you have to?

With expert AC maintenance from Clear the Air Cooling & Heating, your air conditioner stays in peak condition, your energy consumption stays low, and your chances of a breakdown drop by up to 90%. Our certified technicians clean and inspect every component so your AC is ready to run day in and day out once the Texas heat ramps up.

What Maintenance Does Your Air Conditioning System Need?

Whether you’ve got a central air conditioner, a ductless mini split, or a heat pump, one thing holds true—regular inspections and tune-ups are a must. If it heats, if it cools, it needs professional cleaning and maintenance at least once a year.

By investing in preventative measures now, you’re avoiding costly repairs later—and also extending your system’s lifespan, improving your home’s air quality, and reducing energy consumption. We can’t stress enough that it’s worth it.

Wondering what we actually do during an AC tune-up—and how we take your air conditioner from sluggish to strong? Here’s what our air conditioning maintenance checklist includes:

Clean or Replace Dirty Filters

Your filters do a lot of heavy lifting—trapping dust, pollen, and pet hair so your air stays clean. But when they clog up, airflow drops, and your AC works way harder than it should. We clean or swap them out to keep your air fresh, your system efficient, and your energy bills in check.

Inspect Coils and Clean the Outdoor Unit

Over time, dirt, leaves, and gunk collect on your coils and outdoor unit—and that buildup blocks airflow and drags down your system’s performance. We give it all a thorough cleaning so your AC can cool like it’s supposed to with lower energy costs.

Check and Tighten Electrical Components

Wires can loosen. Contacts can wear out. And when they do, your system can shut down without warning—or worse, cause real damage. We check all the connections, tighten what’s needed, and make sure everything’s running safely and smoothly.

Calibrate the Thermostat

If your thermostat’s even a little off, it throws everything out of whack—uneven temps, long run times, and higher bills. We test and recalibrate it so it reads the room right and communicates clearly with your system. That means better comfort and more control.

Measure Refrigerant Levels and Check for Leaks

Refrigerant isn’t supposed to disappear—if it’s low, you’ve likely got a leak. Left alone, that can damage your compressor and kill your cooling power. We check the levels, find the leak (if there is one), and recharge your system so it runs strong and steady.

Inspect the Ductwork and Airflow

Your AC might be working hard, but if your ducts are leaking or blocked, that cool air isn’t making it where it needs to go. We check for cracks, disconnects, or restrictions in your ductwork and vents, making sure air flows freely and evenly through every room.

When you’re in our South Houston service area, detailed, dependable AC system maintenance isn’t just a promise—it’s what we deliver every single day. Our NATE-certified technicians provide residential and commercial air conditioning maintenance services, giving every system the expert care it needs to stay energy efficient and reliable.

When Is the Best Time to Schedule AC Maintenance? We’re Glad You Asked!

In South Texas, your air conditioner doesn’t get much downtime. That’s why the best time to schedule AC maintenance is early spring—before the temperatures start climbing into the 90s. Once the heat settles in, your system is working full-time, and small issues can quickly turn into a true AC emergency.

Booking your annual tune-up in March or April helps make sure your system is clean, efficient, and ready to handle long run times during peak season.

That said, if your system hasn’t been serviced in the past year, don’t wait. It’s never too late to schedule maintenance—especially if you’re starting to notice signs like:

Warm air or weak airflow
A noticeable spike in utility bills
Hot spots in certain rooms
Unusual noises or odors
The system is cycling more than usual

These could point to minor issues that can be solved with a cleaning and simple adjustments, or be early signs of a bigger AC repair. Either way, we’ll find out what’s going on and get your air conditioner back to normal, probably even better.

What to Expect After Your AC Maintenance Appointment

An air conditioning maintenance appointment typically takes about 60–90 minutes, so don’t worry about it taking all day. When we arrive, we introduce ourselves, put on shoe covers, and ask how your system’s been performing. Whether it’s a brand-new install or an older unit, we tailor the service to your specific equipment.

If it’s a bigger issue, we’ll explain what’s going on and walk you through the options. That might mean a larger AC repair or a new thermostat installation. Or, it could mean discussing an air conditioning replacement. If you need a new AC installation, it’s because it’s going to be more cost-effective for you to replace it now, or we’ve identified serious safety concerns. We’re not salespeople—we’re expert technicians who only care about your home comfort and safety.

If everything checks out—as it does on most routine maintenance calls—we’ll give you a full system report for your records and warranty, share a few simple maintenance tips, and leave your home cool and clean.

How much does an air conditioner tune-up cost?

Costs can vary depending on your system and what’s included, and we’ll always tell you the price before we get started. A seasonal tune-up is one of the smartest, most cost-effective ways to prevent bigger repairs. It helps your system run more efficiently, lowers utility bills, and keeps small issues from turning into expensive breakdowns. It’s a smart investment in your comfort.

What are some signs that my air conditioning system needs maintenance?

If you notice warm air blowing, odd smells, higher utility bills, or uneven cooling, those are signs of an AC issue. Strange noises or constant cycling can also mean something’s off. Getting ahead of these problems with maintenance keeps your system running smoothly.

How does AC maintenance affect my energy bills?

Regular AC maintenance helps your system run more efficiently, which means it uses less energy to cool your home. Dirty filters, low refrigerant, or clogged coils force your unit to work harder—driving utility bills up. A tuned-up system can cut energy use by up to 15%, lowering both your costs and your carbon footprint over time.

How can I maintain my AC unit between service appointments?

Replace your air filter every 1–2 months, or more often if you have pets or allergies. Rinse off your outdoor unit with a garden hose (just the fins, not the electrical box) and trim back any plants or grass within a two-foot radius. It also helps to occasionally check your vents indoors to make sure nothing’s blocking them. These steps help your AC run more efficiently and reduce wear, but they’re no substitute for a professional tune-up once a year.
