Expert AC Maintenance Services

Keeping Your Home Cool a Breeze!

Neglecting AC maintenance can mean higher bills, poor performance, or even system failure. We offer two levels of service to keep your system running at its best:

AC Safety Inspection: A quick check to spot safety or performance issues—ideal before summer or after downtime. Includes: refrigerant line and electrical inspection, thermostat test, component wear check, condensate drain check, start-up/shutdown observation, and air filter/airflow review.

AC Tune-Up: Full maintenance for maximum efficiency and reliability. Builds on the Safety Inspection with deep cleaning, lubrication, and optimization. Includes: coil cleaning, tightened connections, refrigerant/pressure check, condensate flush, lubrication, duct/airflow inspection, blower/capacitor testing, system calibration, and a performance report.

With both services, you get professional care that keeps your AC safe, efficient, and ready for the hottest days.

“My service man, Will, showed up when scheduled and completed a thorough maintenance check on my AC unit. Will wore protective shoe covers while in the house after each time he went outside. When finished, Will explained everything he completed and gave suggestions to improve my AC usage. A job well done in just over an hour.”

“Very professional and friendly. Technician did what he was here to do (AC) inspection, thankfully found nothing wrong and did not try to invent a problem which other companies have tried to do in the past. Five Star is an employee centric company and every employee I’ve asked has had nothing but good things to say about the company.”

Frequently Asked Air Conditioning Repair Questions

You’ve got questions? We’ve got answers!

  • AC not cooling effectively — Is your AC running but your home still feels warm? This could point to issues with refrigerant levels, dirty filters, or even a failing compressor.
  • Strange noises — Banging, buzzing, or rattling sounds aren’t normal. These noises could indicate loose parts, motor trouble, or fan issues. We can usually fix this with a simple air conditioner repair.
  • AC frequently turning on and off (short cycling) — This could be due to thermostat problems or an oversized AC unit that isn’t properly calibrated.
  • Water leaks — Puddles around your AC unit or water dripping could mean clogged drain lines or a refrigerant leak.
  • Unpleasant odors — A musty or burning smell when the AC runs might be caused by mold, dirty filters, or electrical issues.

Our friendly team of air conditioning repair technicians can troubleshoot all these issues and have your home cool and comfortable in no time!

We are proud to offer a comprehensive range of AC repair services, including:
