Whether you have a whole-home central A/C system or a series of state-of-the-art ductless mini-splits, our experienced HVAC team can provide the vital maintenance to keep them running at peak performance.

“Hang on a second,” you might be saying. “When was the last time I had my A/C serviced?”

We get it. Life gets busy, and it can be easy to neglect routine HVAC maintenance. But the Tom Fricker team is always here to help families from Bristol, Middlesex and Norfolk counties get back on track.

How often should you service your A/C equipment?

As a general rule, you should arrange annual A/C maintenance once a year. We often recommend you do it in cooler months when you aren’t using your A/C. However, if it’s been a while since your cooling equipment received service, don’t wait until the fall. Contact us now.

Bear in mind that some manufacturers of heat pump systems, which provide both heating and cooling, recommend twice-yearly service. You can reach out to TF Complete Heating & Cooling, and we’ll tell you how often your specific system needs attention.

Why is regular maintenance important for A/C systems?

An annual service visit is a relatively low-cost way to get the most out of your cooling equipment. It also pays for itself in higher efficiency. Our Precision Cooling Annual Maintenance involves cleaning, testing, lubrication, and inspection. This will help your A/C keep you comfortable while using less electricity.

This service also ensures the longest possible service life for your equipment and lowers the rate of system repairs.

What else can you do to keep your A/C running efficiently?

In addition to arranging annual maintenance for your cooling system, there are some simple steps you can take to help the efficiency of your A/C equipment.

1. Check your air filters each month in the summer and clean or replace them if they’re dirty. Clogged filters restrict airflow, making your A/C equipment run longer to keep you reliably cool. Staying on top of your filters is an easy, inexpensive way to lower cooling costs.
2. Keep your outdoor equipment clear of trash and plant life. Whether you have a central air system or ductless equipment, you’ll have at least one outdoor unit. When weeds, grass or sundry debris clog it, your system’s efficiency suffers. Clear away at least two feet of space around the unit.
3. Get protected with a Tom Fricker Complete Cooling Plan. Our affordable service plans not only protect you with priority service and reduced costs on repairs; they also ensure you receive a free maintenance visit each year. You will be Completely satisfied with your A/C performance all summer.

It isn’t too late to schedule your annual cooling maintenance. Just reach out to TF Complete Heating & Cooling to request service.
