What to Expect During Your Air Conditioning Maintenance Service in Edmonton
Our air conditioning maintenance service in Edmonton is thorough and detailed, covering all critical components of your cooling system. We pride ourselves on our upfront, flat-rate pricing, so you always know exactly what to expect before we begin any work. Our expert technicians follow a comprehensive checklist designed to maximize your unit’s performance and energy efficiency.
During a standard AC maintenance visit, you can expect us to perform the following key tasks:
- Inspecting the Condenser and Evaporator Coils: These coils are essential for heat transfer. We clean them of dirt, dust, and debris that accumulate over time, which can severely restrict airflow and efficiency.
- Checking Refrigerant Levels: The amount of refrigerant (or coolant) in your unit is critical. If levels are low, it indicates a leak, which we can promptly identify and repair. Incorrect levels force the system to run longer and harder, increasing energy use.
- Lubricating Moving Parts: Bearings and motors that aren’t properly lubricated create friction, which wastes energy and leads to component failure. We ensure these parts are lubricated according to manufacturer specifications.
- Verifying Electrical Connections and Controls: We tighten loose connections and check for proper voltage and current in motors. Faulty wiring can be a safety hazard and significantly impact the system's operation.
- Calibrating the Thermostat: We test and calibrate your thermostat to ensure it is accurately reading the temperature and activating the cooling cycle as needed, maximizing comfort and efficiency.
- Inspecting the Drain Line: We clear the condensate drain line of any clogs from algae or sludge. A blocked drain can lead to water overflow, resulting in water damage or high humidity indoors.
Our detailed approach ensures every element of your system, from the smallest wire to the largest fan motor, is in optimal condition before the high-demand summer season arrives.

Signs Your Edmonton AC System Needs Immediate Service
While preventive maintenance is key, sometimes issues can arise between annual visits. Being able to recognize the warning signs of a failing cooling system can save you from a complete breakdown and costly emergency service. If you notice any of these signs, please call us immediately. We offer same-day service and will respond quickly to protect your comfort.
Be alert for these key indicators that your AC unit requires prompt professional attention:
- Weak Airflow: If the air coming out of your vents is weak, it can indicate duct leaks, a blower motor issue, or severely restricted airflow due to dirty filters or coils.
- Unusual Noises: Screeching, grinding, or hissing sounds are never normal. Screeching usually points to a failing belt or motor bearings, while a hissing sound can be an indicator of a refrigerant leak.
- Warm Air: If your unit is running but blowing warm air, it could signal a serious problem, such as a compressor failure or a major refrigerant leak. This requires immediate diagnostic service.
- High Humidity Indoors: A functioning air conditioner should actively dehumidify your home. If your house feels clammy or sticky, the system may not be cycling correctly or the evaporator coil is having issues.
- Foul Odors: Musty smells can indicate mold or mildew growth in the unit or ductwork, which is a health concern. Burning smells often point to electrical components overheating.
If you observe any of these symptoms, don't delay. Contact Always Plumbing & Heating at (587) 742-1359 right away for our reliable, fast response. If your unit has broken down, learn more about our AC repairs.

Frequently Asked Questions About AC Maintenance
-
A water softener works by removing minerals that cause water hardness, like calcium and magnesium, through a process called ion exchange. In your system, hard water passes through a tank filled with resin beads that are coated with sodium ions (salt beads). As the hard water contacts these beads, the calcium and magnesium ions are swapped for sodium ions. This exchange softens the water, which then flows through your plumbing system, reducing scale buildup and improving water quality for use in your home.

Boiler heating systems are designed to heat a closed system of water, glycol, and other chemicals to produce heat. Most models are made up of an enclosed container where heat is applied to water, which is then circulated throughout a system of pipes to a particular heating implement, such as a radiator, element, or coil to disburse heat.
In the case of radiant heating systems, sometimes referred to as heated floors, tubes can be placed in the floor, ceiling, wall, or another surface (like a countertop). Water is then heated through the boiler, and circulated through the pipes, which radiate heat throughout the space.
