Keep Your AC Running Strong with Routine AC Maintenance
Air conditioners work hard during Iowa summers, and like any system, they benefit from routine service. Maintenance is one of the easiest ways to prevent mid-season breakdowns, reduce monthly energy costs, and extend your unit’s lifespan. At Direct Heating and Cooling LLC, we offer seasonal checkups and flexible service plans that help homeowners avoid expensive surprises.
Here’s what you can expect from our maintenance service:
- Thorough inspections – We check refrigerant levels, electrical connections, filters, and thermostat settings for safe, efficient operation.
- Coil cleaning – Dirty evaporator or condenser coils can restrict airflow and reduce efficiency. We clean them to help your system breathe better.
- Minor repairs and adjustments – We tighten loose connections and catch small issues before they lead to a breakdown.
- Performance testing – We make sure your system cycles properly and distributes air evenly across your home.
- Helpful feedback – If we notice aging components or inefficiencies, we’ll walk you through your options without pushing unnecessary repairs.
Regular maintenance gives you more reliable performance when it matters most—and makes your system easier on your wallet over time.
