Like a car, an air conditioning system is an investment that should reward you with years of reliable service. Without proper maintenance, however, it’s not likely to make it through the long haul. Neglected systems are susceptible to breakdowns in hot and humid weather, just when you most need them.
Our air conditioning maintenance plans help ensure that your AC system performs well whenever you need cooling comfort. Grimes Heating & Air Conditioning is proud to offer you this cost-effective way to save energy, money and time.
AC Maintenance Helps Protect Your Investment
Regular AC maintenance is designed to keep your equipment operating efficiently while minimizing unnecessary wear. During a maintenance visit, our technicians inspect electrical connections, clean essential components, verify refrigerant levels when appropriate, test system performance, and ensure your equipment is operating safely.
Preventive service offers several important benefits, including:
- Improved energy efficiency
- More consistent indoor temperatures
- Reduced risk of unexpected repairs
- Longer equipment lifespan
- Lower monthly utility costs
Keeping up with routine maintenance also makes it easier to identify small issues before they become expensive repairs, giving you greater peace of mind throughout the year.

- Examine the evaporator and condenser coils for dirt and deterioration. (Coil cleaning is not included.)
- Check the compressor motor and blower motor, adding oil if indicated.
- Clean the condensate drainage lines to prevent damaging leaks and bacterial growth.
- Calibrate the thermostat settings and control systems for accuracy.
- Measure the amperage and voltage to ensure safe and proper operation.
- Check the refrigerant charge and calculate the pressure. (Refrigerant is not included.)
- Verify that safety devices such as auto shut-off valves operate properly.
- Check the air filter for signs of dirt or contamination. (Filter replacement is not included.)
At the end of your maintenance call, your service technician will give you an honest assessment of the equipment’s condition. If any repairs or replacement parts are needed, we’ll provide you with a free on-site quote on the spot.
