What AC Maintenance Covers
AC maintenance is not a filter swap and a visual inspection. A proper maintenance visit checks every component the system depends on to run efficiently through a Las Vegas summer, cleans the surfaces where heat transfer happens, and documents what was found so you have a record for warranty and service history purposes.
Valley conditions change the maintenance equation. Las Vegas dust loads are among the highest in the country. Coils, blower wheels, and condensate systems accumulate debris faster than manufacturer service intervals assume.
Hard water at 278 to 304 ppm accelerates mineral buildup in condensate pans and drain lines. Attic air handlers and rooftop units take on heat soak conditions that ground-level equipment in moderate climates never experiences. Skipping or delaying maintenance here does not just reduce efficiency.
