When the system is not keeping up
A house that never quite cools down in July, or a furnace that runs and runs in January, is telling you something. Before a service call, a few things are worth a look: the thermostat setting and its batteries, the filter, the breaker for the system, and whether the outside unit is actually running when the inside one is.
If those all check out, Luke comes and looks the system over, cleans what needs cleaning and tells you what it needs. He will say plainly whether it is a repair or a unit near the end of its life.

Why a dirty air unit costs you
The outside unit of a central air system pushes the heat from your house out through a coil of thin metal fins. Grass clippings, cottonwood fluff, dust and leaves pack into those fins over a few summers. The unit then runs longer and harder to do the same work, and the power bill shows it.
Cleaning the coil, clearing the space around the unit and checking that it drains the way it should is plain upkeep that plenty of units go years without.
Wall units and bathroom fans
Not every room is on the central system. A through the wall air unit cools an addition, a shop office or a bedroom on its own. Luke's photos show one set low in a freshly painted wall.
A bathroom exhaust fan is close kin to this work. It moves damp air out of the house so it does not end up as mildew on the ceiling, and it has to vent outside, not into the attic.
Things you can do between visits
A few small habits keep a system running easier.
- Change the filter inside on the schedule printed on it, and more often with pets
- Keep plants, grass and stored things a couple of feet back from the outside unit
- Rinse loose dirt off the fins gently with a garden hose, with the power off at the outside disconnect, and never with a pressure washer
- Listen for new noises, and watch for ice on the lines in summer
Questions people ask
How often should an outside air unit be cleaned?
Once a year is a good habit, before the hot months, and more often under cottonwood trees or next to a field that gets mowed.
Why is there ice on my air conditioner lines?
Usually not enough air moving across the coil, from a dirty filter or coil, or a problem with the refrigerant. Turn it off to thaw and have it looked at.
Does a bathroom fan have to vent outside?
Yes. A fan that blows into the attic just moves the moisture where it can rot wood and grow mold.
