Our Maintenance Checklist
At IRBIS Air, Plumbing & Electrical, we provide comprehensive air conditioning maintenance services to keep your system in peak condition. Our skilled technicians conduct thorough inspections and perform detailed tune-ups so each component runs smoothly.
As part of our maintenance checklist, we focus on system elements that impact cooling in San Jose's microclimates. We measure airflow and evaluate how your system performs in real-world conditions, considering outside temperatures and humidity levels that change during the year. In the Bay Area, where AC units run hard during heat waves, targeted cleaning and adjustments help extend equipment life and prevent performance issues during the peak season.
We perform a variety of tasks during AC maintenance, including:
- Inspecting electrical components
- Checking refrigerant levels and pressure
- Replacing or cleaning air filters
- Cleaning the outdoor condenser unit
- Calibrating the thermostat
- Inspecting the ductwork
Our goal is to address potential issues before they become problems, maximizing your system's efficiency and lifespan. Contact us for air conditioning maintenance in San Jose! Our checklist supports a preventative approach, reducing the risk of emergency repairs. Each maintenance task protects today’s performance and your system’s long-term reliability. Our team uses the most current industry practices and technology, providing a thorough service, not just the basics.
Signs Your AC Needs Maintenance

- You hear clanking, buzzing, or squealing sounds from your unit
- Your AC short-cycles
- You detect unpleasant smells from your AC unit or ductwork
- You see water pooling around your AC unit
Staying vigilant about these warning signs can greatly enhance the reliability of your AC system and ensure your home stays comfortable, irrespective of the weather outside. Regularly scheduled maintenance is our strategic approach to resolving such issues in their nascent stages. This promises not only a more efficient system but also a proactive stance against costly repairs and escalations.

FAQs About AC Maintenance in San Jose
How often should I have my air conditioning system serviced?
We recommend having your air conditioning system professionally serviced once a year. Ideally, this AC Maintenance tune-up should be scheduled in the spring, before the peak summer heat arrives in San Jose, to ensure your unit is clean and prepared for heavy usage.
What is the benefit of having a clean AC unit?
A clean AC unit operates significantly more efficiently. Dust and grime restrict airflow and heat transfer, forcing the unit to consume more electricity. Regular maintenance, including coil cleaning, restores efficiency, which helps reduce your monthly energy bills.
How long does a typical AC maintenance visit take?
Most standard AC maintenance appointments take between 60 to 90 minutes to complete. The exact duration depends on the unit's age, condition, and accessibility, but our technicians work diligently to perform a thorough check without disrupting your day.
Can regular maintenance help extend the life of my AC unit?
Yes, absolutely. By regularly lubricating moving parts, tightening electrical connections, and cleaning components, professional maintenance reduces mechanical wear and tear on the system. This proactive care directly extends the lifespan of your AC and prevents premature component failure.
