AC Maintenance

Prevent breakdowns, improve efficiency, and extend your system’s life with expert AC maintenance from BPM Heating, Cooling & Plumbing.

Your air conditioner works hard through Maryland’s hot, humid summers—and without regular maintenance, performance can suffer. At BPM Heating, Cooling & Plumbing, we provide professional tune-ups that keep your system running efficiently, reduce the risk of costly breakdowns, and help extend its lifespan.

We maintain all air conditioning system types and brands, including central air conditioners, ductless mini-splits, heat pumps in cooling mode, and packaged units. Whether your system is one year old or over a decade in, we’ll keep it operating at its best.

Why AC Maintenance Matters

Air conditioners lose efficiency over time—especially if coils become dirty, refrigerant runs low, or components start to wear out. Regular maintenance restores performance and reduces your chances of experiencing:

  • Weak or uneven cooling
  • Short cycling and high energy bills
  • Excess humidity indoors
  • Compressor or motor failure
  • Unplanned breakdowns in peak summer heat

Maintenance also preserves your manufacturer warranty. Many brands require professional servicing to keep coverage intact.

What’s Included in Our AC Tune-Up

We use a 21-point checklist to inspect, clean, test, and optimize your system. Our standard maintenance visit includes:

  • Cleaning indoor and outdoor coils
  • Checking refrigerant levels and pressures
  • Inspecting and testing capacitors, contactors, and electrical components
  • Verifying airflow and inspecting the blower motor
  • Lubricating moving parts where applicable
  • Thermostat calibration and control system test
  • Flushing or inspecting the condensate drain line
  • Replacing the air filter (if provided)

Every visit ends with a written system report so you know exactly how your AC is performing—and whether any future service is recommended.

Recommended Maintenance Schedule

We recommend servicing your air conditioner twice per year:

  • Spring: Prepares your system for heavy summer use.
  • Late Summer: Catches wear-and-tear before the off-season and flags any developing issues.

Ask us about annual maintenance plans and priority scheduling options for BPM customers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Whether you’re dealing with an unexpected breakdown, planning a new installation, or just trying to stay ahead of seasonal maintenance, it’s normal to have a few questions. Below, we’ve answered some of the most common ones our customers ask — to help you feel more confident about your system.

Is air conditioner maintenance really necessary every year?

Yes. Even if your system seems to be running fine, dust and wear accumulate over time. Annual maintenance prevents efficiency loss, ensures safety, and often catches minor issues before they become expensive repairs.

Skipping maintenance can lead to clogged coils, low refrigerant, electrical problems, and reduced lifespan. You may also lose eligibility for manufacturer warranty coverage if issues occur due to lack of service.

Most maintenance visits take about 60 to 90 minutes. We check and clean every critical part of your system and provide a detailed performance summary at the end of your appointment.

Yes. We work on all major brands and models, even if your system is 10–15+ years old. If we discover that a replacement may be more cost-effective, we’ll walk you through those options—but never pressure you.
