Aged equipment
Many homes have units over 15 years old, leading to reduced efficiency and frequent breakdowns.

Dirty coils and filters
In the mixed-humid climate, coils and filters clog quickly, reducing airflow and cooling capacity.

A technician will inspect the system, clean coils and filters, check refrigerant levels, and test electrical components. If a permit is required locally, they will handle it. The job typically takes 1–2 hours. Afterward, you'll receive a report on system condition and any needed repairs.
