Annual Service
Keep your system running at full output through every season, before a small fault becomes a breakdown.
What Goes Wrong
Skipping specific component checks is where most maintenance visits fall short, and where problems quietly grow.
A dirty evaporator or condenser coil restricts heat transfer, raising operating pressures and shortening compressor life.
Both indoor and outdoor coils are cleaned and airflow is measured to confirm the heat exchanger is working at rated capacity.
A slow leak goes undetected for months, causing the system to run longer, use more energy, and eventually lose heating or cooling output.
Refrigerant pressure is checked against the manufacturer’s specification so a low or overcharged circuit is caught before it causes a fault.
A reversing valve that sticks or fails to switch modes leaves the system locked in heating or cooling, which only shows up when the season changes.
The reversing valve and defrost cycle are both tested during the visit so mode-switching faults are found while the system is still on the bench.
A loose connection or a failing capacitor draws excess current and can cause a mid-season shutdown or damage the compressor.
The contactor, capacitor, and all electrical connections are checked for wear and correct voltage draw before the visit is closed.
Service Scope
Each visit works through the full system, airflow, refrigerant, controls, and electrical, not just the easy-access parts.
The filter is inspected and replaced if needed, restoring airflow and reducing strain on the blower and coil.
Both coils are cleaned to remove dust and debris that reduce heat transfer and raise operating pressures.
Pressure is measured against manufacturer spec to identify a low charge or overcharge before either causes a system fault.
The drain line is cleared to prevent water backup into the air handler cabinet, a common source of indoor water damage.
Both are tested to confirm the system switches between heating and cooling modes without sticking or failing mid-cycle.
Connections, the contactor, and the capacitor are inspected, and thermostat calibration is verified for correct system staging.
Measured at the air handler to confirm rated output.
Checked so the system stages at the right setpoints.
Debris around the condenser is cleared for safe airflow.
Why Choose Us
Accountability at every step, from the first call to the post-visit confirmation that the system is performing as it should.
The work to be done is set out in writing before the technician starts, so there are no surprises on the day.
We connect you with vetted independent local partners who know Lakewood’s climate and equipment conditions firsthand.
Air-source, mini-split, and geothermal systems are all within scope, so you do not need a different contact for each type.
A post-visit check confirms the system is performing to spec before the job is considered finished.
Lakewood’s wide seasonal temperature swings and dusty Front Range air are accounted for in how the service is scoped.
