How Do I Know if My AC Needs Maintenance?
Even if your AC is running okay, there are some telltale signs that it might be time for a professional tune-up.
Keep an eye out for these:
- Reduced airflow: Is the air coming from your vents weaker than usual? This could indicate a clogged filter, blocked ducts, or a problem with the blower motor.
- Warm air: If your AC is blowing warm air, it could be a sign of a refrigerant leak, a malfunctioning compressor, or a problem with the thermostat.
- Unusual noises: Strange sounds like banging, clanging, squealing, or grinding can indicate a problem with the blower motor, fan, or other components.
- Increased energy bills: If your energy bills are higher than usual, your AC may be working harder than it needs to due to decreased efficiency.
- Unexplained odors: Musty or burning smells can indicate mold growth, electrical problems, or overheating.
- Frequent cycling: If your AC unit turns on and off more frequently than usual, it could be a sign of a variety of issues, including a refrigerant leak or an oversized unit.
If you notice any of these signs, it’s a good idea to schedule an AC tune-up with Brower Mechanical. Our technicians can diagnose and address any problems quickly and professionally.
How Often Does an Air Conditioner Need to Be Serviced?
Just like your car needs regular oil changes, your air conditioning system needs routine maintenance to run efficiently and reliably. In Sacramento’s climate, where your AC works hard for months on end, annual service is essential. Consider it a “check-up” for your system, where a technician inspects, cleans, and tests various components to identify and address potential issues before they become major problems.
The benefits of annual AC service include:
- Improved efficiency: Regular cleaning and maintenance can help your AC unit use less energy, potentially lowering your cooling costs.
- Extended lifespan: Addressing minor issues early on helps prevent more significant problems that could shorten the life of your system.
- Improved indoor air quality: A clean AC system circulates cleaner air, reducing allergens and irritants in your home.
- Increased reliability: Regular maintenance helps keep your AC running smoothly, reducing the likelihood of breakdowns during the hottest months of the year.

What Time of Year Is Best for AC Maintenance in California?
While you can schedule a tune-up anytime, spring is the ideal time to get your air conditioning system serviced.
Here’s why:
- Optimal testing temperatures: Spring in Sacramento brings mild weather, allowing your AC to be tested without the stress of extreme heat. This gives our technicians a clear picture of your system’s performance and helps identify any potential issues.
- Beat the summer rush: Scheduling your AC tune-up in spring means you’ll avoid the peak season when HVAC companies are busiest dealing with emergency breakdowns. You’ll have more flexibility in scheduling appointments and potentially shorter wait times.
- Prepare for the heat: By getting your AC serviced in spring, you can have peace of mind knowing your system is ready to handle the summer heat.
- Proactive maintenance: Addressing potential problems in spring helps prevent unexpected breakdowns and costly repairs during the hottest months of the year.
While spring is optimal, remember that regular maintenance is beneficial any time of year. If you missed getting your AC serviced in the spring, don’t hesitate to schedule it now.
