Although air conditioners are expected to endure harsh environments, they need regular servicing to live up to these expectations. An unmaintained air conditioner opens opportunities for breakdowns, repairs, and replacements. Anyone who has dealt with this agrees that it is expensive, dreadful, and is not a great experience.
You guessed it — most of these shortcomings can be avoided with regular AC maintenance. But what exactly does AC maintenance entail, and can you do it yourself? This article explores what, how, and who handles AC maintenance, and we’ll tell you why it’s essential.
What Does It Mean to Service an Air Conditioner?
AC servicing is an umbrella term that refers to all the functions carried out by HVAC service technicians to ensure an AC runs smoothly. These functions include correct installation, regular maintenance, replacement, and repairing broken parts. Maintenance services focus on diagnosing the system to ensure proper functioning and fixing minor issues that could cause huge complications.
Since AC units are technical appliances, having an expert technician carry out these services is recommended. Apart from being a legal requirement, it has benefits, such as guaranteed effectiveness. Here at Kalka Plumbing, Heating, & Air, we are privileged to be among the top AC service technicians in Orange County. Let’s look at what our air conditioning service entails.
Kalka Comprehensive Air Conditioning Service
The design, installation, maintenance, and repair of an AC make up a comprehensive AC service. When investing in an AC for the first time, you need a contractor who handles everything. Incorrect sizing and installation are the top causes of AC malfunctions. We understand this well, hence our comprehensive approach.
Air Conditioning Design and Installation
Our technicians are experienced in ensuring the correct sizing and installation of the majority of the commonly used AC systems in Orange County. Our process starts with a site visit to assess the size required based on the uniqueness of your home or commercial space. Factors such as the square footage of your property, occupancy, and type of AC, help with design and installation. In other words, correct AC size counts a lot in the overall effectiveness of your system. We have installed air conditioners in homes, retail stores, and office spaces across Orange County.
AC Maintenance Services
As with most mechanical appliances, AC units can break down easily if left unattended for long periods. This is where maintenance comes in. Every so often, it should be standard practice to have the air conditioning unit inspected closely to ensure everything is working correctly. These maintenance schedules will vary based on factors such as the age of the unit, type, and weather conditions in the area. In most cases, AC maintenance services are offered as subscription packages. Take, for instance, our Home Protection Club (HPC).
The HPC is an affordable annual maintenance program by Kalka Plumbing, Heating, & Air that benefits HVAC users in Orange County. An active subscription guarantees professional tune-ups, thorough cleaning, and one free safety check. And the HPC program not only covers the AC system but also over 200 other items.

Parts of an air conditioning unit can break down for various reasons, such as poor maintenance or unforeseen calamities. When this happens, you experience issues such as inconsistent cooling and health problems. The remedy for this is the repair of the faulty parts. Kalka AC technicians are equipped with the knowledge and tools to work on a range of issues, including fixing wiring connections, spoilt blower motors and fans, frozen coils, and faulty thermostats.

Benefits of AC Maintenance Services
If you think about it, AC maintenance benefits you in many ways. It could save you money on repairs and energy bills.
