Don't wait for the high desert summer heat to test your system. Scheduling professional AC maintenance in the spring is the essential first step to ensure reliable, efficient cooling all season long. Frostbite Heating & Cooling specializes in comprehensive AC tune-ups and preventative heat pump maintenance across the Tri-Cities. We keep your systems operating at peak performance in Kennewick, Pasco, and Richland, helping you save money on utility bills and avoid costly emergency repairs.
A small investment in preventative care protects you from major expenses and discomfort when you need cooling the most.
Slash Energy Bills: Dirty coils and low refrigerant make your unit work harder. Maintenance restores efficiency, reducing summer cooling costs significantly.
Prevent Emergency Breakdowns: The most common cause of summer breakdowns (like a failed capacitor) is preventable with a simple AC tune-up check.
Protect Your Warranty: Just like with your furnace, most AC and heat pump manufacturer warranties require proof of annual service.
Extend Equipment Life: Regular cleaning and lubrication reduces wear and tear, ensuring your expensive equipment lasts for its maximum intended lifespan.
Our certified technicians perform a comprehensive service on all brands of central air conditioners and heat pumps, including:Â
Performance & Efficiency: Check and adjust refrigerant levels/pressures (if needed). Clean outdoor condenser coils and indoor evaporator coils. Measure temperature differential (Delta T) for optimal cooling.
Electrical System: Inspect and test all starting components (contactors, capacitors, relays) to ensure reliable startup. Tighten all electrical connections and measure voltage/amperage.
Drainage & Airflow: Inspect and flush the condensate drain line to prevent clogs and water damage. Inspect and clean/replace the air filter. Lubricate the indoor blower motor.
Heat Pump Specific Checks: Test reversing valve function. Verify changeover controls are operating correctly for smooth transition between heating and cooling.
Safety & Controls: Check thermostat calibration and function. Inspect the outdoor unit for vibration and signs of wear.
The best way to guarantee your system is covered is by enrolling in the Frostbite Heating & Cooling Comfort Club. You'll receive scheduled reminders and priority service for both your furnace maintenance in the fall and your AC tune-up in the spring.
The perfect window for your AC maintenance is April through May. Booking early ensures your system is ready before the first major heatwave of the summer hits the Tri-Cities.
