πŸ“‹ The Ultimate AC Maintenance Checklist

Keeping your AC in top shape doesn’t have to be complicated. With Portland’s changing climate, regular maintenance can help your system work efficiently, last longer, and avoid breakdowns when you need it most. ❄️🌦️

Here’s your go-to AC maintenance checklist — built for busy homeowners who want to stay cool and save money.

✅ What to Check (and Clean) Every Year

An annual air conditioning maintenance visit from a pro is a must — but you can also do a few simple things yourself to stay ahead of problems.

Here’s what to cover:

  • Replace or clean air filters (every 1–3 months)

  • Clear debris from around the outdoor unit

  • Check the thermostat settings for accuracy

  • Inspect vents for blockages or dirt buildup

  • Listen for unusual sounds when your AC runs

  • Check for water leaks or signs of moisture near the unit

Let Eheat handle the deep checks like coil cleaning, refrigerant level tests, and electrical inspections — we make sure everything runs smooth and safe. πŸ”§
