What's Included in IRBIS AC Maintenance

Same idea as the oil change your car needs. Our NATE-certified guys open up the cabinet, look at every part inside, and write up what they find.

Condenser Coil Cleaning

Dust and pollen pile up on this coil. A good wash restores its efficiency at moving heat out.

Evaporator Coil Inspection

When this coil ices up or gets gunky, airflow drops to nothing. We clean it and cooling kicks back on.

Air Filter Replacement

Once a filter chokes up, your blower has to work harder. PG&E bill climbs. New filter solves it.

Thermostat Calibration

Even two degrees off on a thermostat burns power every cycle. We dial yours back in.

Electrical Connections Check

Loose wires fry capacitors and kill compressors. That's the most expensive repair on any AC.

Refrigerant Level Check

Refrigerant doesn't get used up. If it's low, there's a leak. We gauge pressure and find where.

Condensate Drain Cleaning

Drain clogs up. Pan fills. Safety switch trips. Sometimes the ceiling stains too.

Blower Motor Inspection

First the bearings groan. Then they lock up, usually on a July afternoon. We catch them at the groan stage.

Signs Your San Jose AC Needs a Tune-Up Now

Rising PG&E Bills
Bill jumps 15 to 25% in summer with no change in habits? Your AC's losing efficiency.
Uneven Cooling
Living room cold but bedrooms muggy? Failing dampers or blocked returns are the usual culprits.
Unusual Noises
Hear grinding, squealing, or rattling? That's motor bearings, loose hardware, or a fan blade rubbing.
Weak Airflow
Gunked-up blower wheel? Crushed duct somewhere? Output drops and rooms stay muggy on the cool setting.
Short Cycling
AC kicking on and off every few minutes? That points to low refrigerant or a dying capacitor.
System Age (5+ Years)
Older units stack up wear that only a thorough AC cleaning and inspection can spot in time.

AC Maintenance Built for San Jose's Climate

Almaden Valley and Evergreen push past 95°F most summers. West San Jose and Willow Glen catch the bay breeze, which helps with cooling but also drags more dust into your coils. The dry air here cakes condensers faster than humid regions. Book annual maintenance March through May, before June demand spikes.

Pre-Summer Tune-Up (March through May)

Book early. June and July fill quickly across Silicon Valley, and pre-season service gets the system ready before the first 90-degree afternoon arrives.

Post-Summer Check (September through October)

After a hard cooling season, our technicians inspect for wear before the system switches to heating mode. Small issues caught now protect warranty coverage and prevent winter callbacks.

The visual difference after a single visit is striking. Clogged filters become clean intake media, dust-caked blower wheels return to bare metal, and condenser fins regain proper airflow. Customers see real changes in cooling output, sound levels, and monthly PG&E bills.

Heat Pump Maintenance Across San Jose Neighborhoods

As a local company based in San Jose, IRBIS provides residential heat pump maintenance service across every neighborhood, with same-week scheduling in most areas.

No need to take time off work or ask a family member to stay home

Cooling Solutions for San Jose Neighborhoods

Cooling needs shift block by block across San Jose. Inland heat pockets ask one thing of your AC; older homes with patched-in ductwork ask another.

Almaden Valley & Evergreen (High-Heat Zones)

Out here, summers crack 95°F often. Coils need a hard AC cleaning to clear the dust and oak pollen choking off cooling capacity.

Willow Glen & Rose Garden (Older Homes)

These homes often run undersized return ducts. We work around the bottleneck by rebalancing airflow, putting in fresh filters, then re-verifying refrigerant charge.

Downtown San Jose & Santana Row (Condos & Townhomes)

Rooftop and closet units in these dense buildings need careful access and quiet hands. We schedule visits around HOA rules and tight building hours.

Questions & Answers

Frequently
Asked Questions

Real questions from San Jose homeowners, with real answers from our team.

How often should I schedule AC maintenance in San Jose?

Once a year is the baseline. Heavy summer use changes that. Go twice: spring, then again after the cooling season ends.

What does an AC tune-up include?

More than people expect. The coils get cleaned. We check refrigerant pressure. New filter goes in. The thermostat gets calibrated. Electrical connections are tightened. We inspect the blower. You walk out with a written report.

Is the free tune-up really free?

Yes, no catch. You need to be a homeowner in Santa Clara or San Mateo County, a PG&E customer, with AC equipment 10 or more years old. Bring the bill to the appointment.

How much does AC maintenance cost in San Jose?

A standalone tune-up runs $69. Full whole-home maintenance is $225. Home Care Plan members get tune-ups bundled into their $24.95 monthly membership.

Can maintenance extend the life of my AC unit?

Yes, often by 5 to 7 years. The compressor stops working overtime. Refrigerant leaks get caught early. Electrical parts stay clean.

What happens if I skip annual maintenance?

Worst case is a dead compressor, the costliest repair on any AC. Your warranty can void. PG&E bill climbs. Cooling fails when summer peaks.

Do you service all AC brands, not just Carrier?

Yes. Our contractor team services Lennox, Trane, Goodman, Rheem, York, and every other major residential brand across the San Jose area.
