The homeowner noticed that the first-floor air conditioning system was not cooling as effectively as expected.
Manny found that the first-floor system had a return air temperature of 73.0°F and a supply duct temperature of 55.1°F, indicating a temperature split of 17.9°F, which is healthy. Manny and Dexter performed a comprehensive maintenance check on both the first and second-floor systems. They added drain tablets and flushed the condensate line with cleaner to ensure proper drainage. Additionally, they visually inspected the mini-split coils and cleaned the filters.
With the maintenance completed, the systems were operating efficiently, providing consistent cooling throughout the home.
A healthy temperature split should be around 16-22°F. If your AC isn't cooling well, check the temperature difference between return and supply air. A lower split might mean airflow issues or refrigerant problems.

Ideally between mid-March and late April. This gives us time to address any issues found before the first consistently warm days in May. Scheduling early also ensures you get your preferred appointment time before the spring rush fills our calendar.
Yes. A spring tune-up specifically targets issues caused by winter dormancy: pollen buildup on coils, critter damage, condensate drain preparation, and capacitor testing after temperature cycling. The seasonal focus ensures your system is ready for its heaviest workload period.
Absolutely. Several months of sitting idle allows components to degrade, pollen and debris to accumulate, and condensate lines to develop blockages. Many of the breakdowns we see in June and July trace back to issues that a spring tune-up would have caught and prevented.
