If your system is running normally but hasn’t been serviced in over a year, you likely need to book a maintenance appointment. If you follow a standard maintenance schedule and notice reduced performance, your system may be in need of a repair. Call for AC repair in Tacoma, WA or the surrounding area if you notice these issues:
- Your home isn’t cooling
- Warm air blowing from vents
- Strange noises or odors
- Short cycling (the system turns on and off frequently)
- Sudden increases in energy bills
- The system won’t turn on

Our cooling maintenance service includes system checks, testing, and cleaning to help boost performance, efficiency, and reliability. During your appointment, our technician will:
- Perform a detailed system check, including cleaning, testing, and performing tune-ups as needed
- Test safety systems, inspect components, and check for corrosion, overheating, or damaged wiring
- Run the system to test the performance
- Clean system components, including blowers and burners, indoor coils, and the outdoor units
- Identify any wear or potential issues and explain everything in simple terms

We recommend most homeowners schedule cooling system maintenance once a year, ideally in the spring before heavy summer use. Annual maintenance will help reduce mid-season surprises.
For a home with a year-round heat pump, an older system, or pets, more frequent maintenance may be beneficial.
