How often should I schedule AC maintenance?

We recommend scheduling residential AC maintenance once a year, ideally in early spring before peak cooling season. Regular tune-ups help prevent breakdowns and improve efficiency.

What is included in an AC maintenance service?

Maintenance includes coil cleaning, checking refrigerant levels, inspecting electrical components, verifying airflow, calibrating the thermostat, clearing the drain line, and testing overall system performance.

Can AC maintenance help lower my energy bills?

Yes. A properly maintained AC system runs more efficiently and uses less energy, which can reduce your monthly utility costs, especially during Houston’s hot summers.

How long does a maintenance appointment take?

Most maintenance appointments take 60–90 minutes, depending on the size and condition of your HVAC system. We provide a detailed report once the tune-up is complete.

Do you offer maintenance plans?

Yes, PTS Mechanical offers annual maintenance plans that include routine tune-ups, priority scheduling, and exclusive discount pricing on repairs and services.

Why Maintenance Matters

As Houston summers get hotter and more demanding on your HVAC system, regular maintenance is not just optional—it’s essential. A well-maintained system runs smoother, uses less energy, and is far less likely to let you down when you need it most. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, neglecting simple upkeep can lead to serious performance drops and higher utility bills.
At PTS Mechanical, we bring over 35 years of Houston experience and licensed professionals to help you stay cool, comfortable and worry-free.

Frequently Asked Questions about AC Installation

How much does residential AC maintenance cost?
