Get the Most Out of Your Air Conditioner

Manufacturers recommend having your air conditioner inspected and maintained by a properly trained technician at least once a year. Air conditioner maintenance tune-ups are different than a diagnosis because it’s usually performed on an air conditioner that’s already working.

Additionally, regular maintenance on your air conditioner can improve your home’s indoor air quality. This can lessen allergens, pollutants, and even lower the frequency of air conditioner-caused eczema flare-ups.

When & How Often Is Air Conditioning Maintenance Needed?

Air conditioner maintenance is typically recommended at least once a year. It’s best to schedule maintenance before the cooling season begins to ensure optimal performance. Regular maintenance helps improve efficiency, prevent breakdowns, and extend the life span of your AC unit.

It’s recommended to schedule AC maintenance in the spring before the cooling season starts. This allows for any necessary repairs or adjustments to be made before the AC is heavily used. By scheduling maintenance during this time, you ensure that your air conditioner is in optimal condition to handle the upcoming hot weather. However, if you haven’t scheduled maintenance in the spring, it’s still beneficial to schedule it at any time during the year to ensure your AC operates efficiently.

Air Conditioning Maintenance FAQs

What are the benefits of scheduling an AC tune-up in Minneapolis before the summer heat?

Scheduling an AC tune-up in the spring, before the full force of the summer heat arrives, allows our professionals to ensure that your air conditioner is ready for the heavy use of the months ahead. This also gives us an opportunity to identify any problems areas or concerns with your unit so that you can get them fixed before you need to start using your air conditioner.

How can routine AC maintenance help Minneapolis residents save on energy costs?

During a maintenance appointment, our cooling professionals will clean and tune your air conditioner to make sure that all components are in the best shape and that dust and debris aren’t causing your unit to work over time. This helps your AC to work more effectively and efficiently, which saves energy and lowers your monthly energy costs.

Can your Minneapolis AC maintenance professionals identify and address common local issues such as refrigerant leaks or frozen coils?

AC tune-ups provide a great opportunity for our team to find potential issues within your air conditioning system. Our professionals are highly trained and experienced, so we’re adept at noticing when anything isn’t working as it should. If we do catch something during a maintenance appointment, we can perform minor repairs or schedule another time if the repairs required are more extensive.

How does AC maintenance help improve indoor air quality in Minneapolis homes?

During a maintenance service, your air conditioner will be cleaned to remove dust, allergens, and other contaminants from your unit. This helps to ensure these contaminants are not circulated through your air ducts and throughout your home’s air, which improves your overall indoor air quality. Tune-ups also allow your unit to work more efficiently, so they’ll be better at removing excess humidity from your indoor air.

Customer Satisfaction is our #1 Priority What Dean’s Customers are saying
I recently bought a new house and quite a few things needed upgrading / replacing. Deans has done fantastic work on all these things. Scheduling is fast and easy. They are able to come out quickly to assess it and give an estimate. And they can quickly schedule the service. All the technicians have been fantastic. Friendly, and quick and efficient. I am so glad I am a member and I will recommend Deans to anyone. Mark B.
Matthew came for a general plumbing inspection. He was friendly and polite and even a little bit early for his appointment. That is a wonderful thing. He checked all the toilets and sinks, the water heater and water softener. All the while explaining what he was doing. He had some ideas on a few repairs but wasn't an alarmist about it. Things that just had to be done, sooner than later, but not immediately. The Dean's club membership is definitely worth it. Susan M.
Eric B was awesome and informative. Today he came and gave us a rundown of our new homes air ventilation and Furnace/AC systems so we are all ready for winter and beyond. We had Dean's install a new furnace, ac and water heater at our previous home and they did such a wonderful job and so easy to work with we will only use them from now on. Thanks again for a wonderful experience. Jayme K.
I had Dean's come out a couple times for different services. Once to install venting for a bath fan and once for service for my furnace. There were no surprises in pricing and service was quick. Sam was the tech both times and he did a great job for both jobs. For the furnace, he diagnosed the issue within minutes of starting the work and got it up and running quickly. They had all the parts in the truck already. As far as the appointment, I requested service online, had a call back within 15 min and the tech was in my driveway an hour later. I would highly recommend Dean's. Dan P.
Of the several electricians I contacted, Dean's offered by far the quickest dispatch time, which is great because my thermostat broke and wouldn't start my A/C at all. Given that temperatures are supposed to reach 98 degrees tomorrow, time was of the essence. Thankfully, Dean's had someone out within an hour. I worked with Seth, who was professional, helpful and knowledgeable. He ran a 'C' wire to our new smart thermostat and got it installed in about an hour at a reasonable price. I will definitely recommend Dean's to anyone who needs an electrician. Michael Y.
