Reliable AC Maintenance

Preventive maintenance is key to keeping your air conditioning running smoothly all summer. Our technicians can perform annual tune-ups and catch minor issues before they become big problems. Proper maintenance also improves efficiency and can extend the life of your air conditioning system.

Regular maintenance ensures your system is ready for peak performance during the hottest months while enhancing indoor air quality. Our detailed maintenance service includes inspecting all system components, lubricating moving parts, and identifying parts that may eventually require replacement. This proactive approach reduces the chance of unexpected breakdowns leading to costly emergency repairs.

With Preventative Maintenance From Our Team, You Can Avoid Many Common (and Expensive) AC Issues, Including:

  • Refrigerant leaks: We check refrigerant levels and top them off as needed to maximize cooling efficiency.
  • Dirty filters and coils: We clean filters and coils to prevent reduced airflow and extra strain on your system.
  • Loose parts: We tighten loose connections to prevent future breakdowns.
  • Worn belts/parts: Proactively replacing worn parts reduces the risk of failure during peak cooling season.

Don't wait until your air conditioning breaks down. Preventive maintenance improves reliability and efficiency and can significantly extend the life of your air conditioning system.

Local Considerations

In Walnut Creek, homeowners face unique climate challenges, which make having a reliable air conditioning system essential. With hot summers and occasional heat waves, an efficient air conditioning system not only provides comfort but can also help maintain optimal indoor air quality.

FAQs 

What Should I Do if My Air Conditioning Stops Working During a Heatwave?

If your air conditioning stops working during a heatwave, staying calm and checking for simple fixes is essential. Ensure the thermostat is set to the correct temperature and mode, and replace any batteries if required. Check the circuit breaker and reset it if necessary. If the issue persists, turn off the air conditioning to prevent further damage and contact Connolly Heating & Air Conditioning. Our team prioritizes emergency calls and will schedule a prompt visit. Meanwhile, use fans and close blinds to keep your home cool.

Why Is My Air Conditioning Making Loud Noises?

Loud noises from your air conditioning unit can indicate a variety of issues. It's critical to identify the type of noise to determine potential causes. Rattling may suggest loose parts, while screeching could point to a worn belt. A hissing sound may indicate a refrigerant leak, impacting the system's efficiency. If you notice unusual noises, it's best to shut off the unit and contact our professional team to inspect and resolve the issue promptly, ensuring your air conditioning runs smoothly and efficiently.

How Often Should I Schedule Air Conditioning Maintenance?

Regular maintenance is critical for maintaining an efficient and long-lasting air conditioning system. It is generally recommended to schedule maintenance at least once a year, typically in the spring, before the peak cooling season begins. This ensures your system operates efficiently during summer, reducing the risk of unexpected failures. Our preventative maintenance programs in Walnut Creek include comprehensive inspections, cleaning, and tune-ups designed to extend your unit's life and optimize performance.

What Are the Benefits of Using a High-Efficiency Air Conditioning Unit?

High-efficiency air conditioning units offer numerous benefits beyond simply cooling your home. They help significantly reduce electricity costs, as they consume less energy. These units also contribute to a greener environment by lowering carbon footprints. Many high-efficiency models provide better humidity control and have advanced features like programmable thermostats. Investing in a high-efficiency unit can provide long-term financial savings while maintaining optimal indoor comfort.

What Should I Consider When Choosing a New Air Conditioning System?

When selecting a new air conditioning system, consider factors like the size of your home, insulation quality, and local climate conditions. Choosing a unit properly sized for your home is crucial to maximize its efficiency and comfort. Look for systems with high SEER ratings, which indicate better energy efficiency. Additionally, consider modern features like smart thermostats and variable speed fans for enhanced control and comfort.
