Proudly Serving The North Shore, Merrimack Valley & Southern New Hampshire

In the heart of summer, there’s no better friend than a well-functioning air conditioner. But, like any good friendship, it requires maintenance to keep it going strong. At Maffei Services, we make it our mission to keep your relationship with your air conditioning unit as harmonious as possible. And how do we do that? With our comprehensive and expert air conditioning maintenance services and tune-ups, of course.

The Importance of Annual AC Maintenance

Think about your car for a moment. You know the importance of regular oil changes, tire rotations, and general tune-ups to keep it running smoothly. The same logic applies to your AC unit. Regular maintenance can enhance its efficiency, prolong its lifespan, save you money on energy costs, and help prevent those unexpected breakdowns that leave you sweating on a hot day.

However, an air conditioning unit is a complex piece of machinery, with a myriad of components all working in harmony to keep your home cool. Without the proper knowledge and skills, it’s easy to miss the subtle signs of wear and tear or potential issues that can lead to more serious problems down the line. That’s where we come in. At Maffei Services, we provide comprehensive air conditioning maintenance services to ensure your unit is in tip-top shape and ready to keep you cool all summer long.

Benefits of AC Maintenance

Maintaining your air conditioning system annually with regular tune-ups offers a host of benefits.

Enhanced Efficiency: Regular maintenance keeps your AC unit running at its most efficient. Cleaning and adjusting components can improve energy consumption, meaning your AC unit can cool your home without working unnecessarily hard or wasting energy.
Increased Lifespan: Just like your car, your AC system needs regular upkeep to ensure a long and healthy life. Regular maintenance and tune-ups can extend the lifespan of your AC unit by several years, saving you the cost and hassle of a premature replacement.

Improved Air Quality: A well-maintained AC unit does more than just keep your home cool; it also plays a significant role in improving the quality of your indoor air. It reduces the amount of dust, allergens, and other airborne particles, which is particularly important for those with allergies or respiratory conditions.
Consistent Comfort: There's nothing worse than an air conditioning system that's not doing its job on a sweltering summer day. Regular maintenance ensures that your AC unit keeps your home at a comfortable temperature consistently.

Prevention of Costly Repairs: Regular tune-ups allow technicians to spot potential problems early before they escalate into major, costly repairs. Maintenance can prevent unexpected breakdowns, especially during the hot summer months when your AC system is working its hardest.
Maintains Manufacturer's Warranty: Many air conditioner manufacturers require proof of annual maintenance when a repair claim is submitted under warranty. Regular maintenance can help you keep this warranty intact.

AC Maintenance FAQs

Providing informative answers to the questions we hear most often not only helps educate our customers, but also helps build trust in our services and expertise.

How often should my AC system be serviced?

It’s generally recommended that you get your AC serviced once a year, ideally in the spring before the heat of the summer kicks in. This ensures your system is ready to keep you cool when you need it most.

Can I perform some of this maintenance myself?

There are certainly basic tasks you can perform, like regularly changing the air filters and keeping the outdoor unit clear of debris. However, many aspects of AC maintenance are best left to professionals due to their complexity and the risk of causing damage to the unit.

How long does a maintenance service take?

Typically, a thorough maintenance and tune-up takes about one to two hours. However, this can vary based on the condition and complexity of your system.

Will regular maintenance make my AC system last longer?

Absolutely! Just like regular tune-ups help your car run better and longer, the same goes for your AC. Regular maintenance can prolong the lifespan of your unit by ensuring all parts are in good condition and operating efficiently.

Can maintenance and tune-ups lower my energy costs?

Yes, indeed. By ensuring your system is clean and running efficiently, we can help it cool your home using less energy. This can result in lower energy bills over time.

Can I schedule a tune-up even if my AC seems to be running smoothly?

Definitely. In fact, it’s a good idea to schedule maintenance while your system is still running well. This allows us to catch and fix small issues before they become big problems and prevent potential breakdowns.

Do you offer a maintenance plan or contract?

Yes, we offer Maffei Service Partner Plans that provide regular tune-ups and checks on your AC system. Choosing a maintenance plan can be a cost-effective way to ensure your AC always gets the professional attention it needs.

How can I schedule a maintenance appointment?

Scheduling a maintenance appointment is easy. You can give us a call, text us, or even schedule online if that’s more convenient for you. We’ll work with you to find a time that fits your schedule. Remember, our main goal is to help you keep your home cool and comfortable with a well-maintained air conditioning system. If you have any other questions, please don’t hesitate to ask!

This appointment was for an annual service on my new Furnace. Arrived on time, answered any question i had,and completed the service on the Furnace. Tyler also took the time to look at a problem toilet, gave me his thoughts on problem and then provided me a quot to fix. Maffei has generally always done a good job for me.

Tony, Maffei's Comfort Advisor met us at our cold church. He was so careful in checking things out, photographing our failed heating system. And he has gotten back to us in less than a week! Tony and Maffei concluded that Maffei doesn't do this type of project but Tony had several good referrals for us to services that do! Awesome! Thank you!
