Top-Rated AC Maintenance in Swansboro, NC.


Ready to keep the cool air flowing all summer? Call (252) 503-2760 for AC maintenance services today!

Many homeowners forget about their air conditioners until the first hot day of the year. But the best time to ensure your system is up to par is before you ever need it. Regular AC maintenance helps prevent the hassle and expense of emergency repairs. 

At Trademasters Heating & Cooling, our priority is making your home comfortable. We are a licensed, certified, fully insured HVAC company that goes above and beyond. Whether you need a single spring tune-up or want to sign up for a MasterMaintenance membership, we’ve got you covered.

Benefits of Air Conditioner Maintenance

Just like with your car, preventative maintenance helps your air conditioner function at peak performance. Plus, it helps identify minor issues before they become major (and costly) problems. 

When you schedule regular AC check-ups with Trademasters Heating & Cooling, you can expect the following:

  • More consistent cooling
  • Fewer breakdowns and repairs
  • Improved indoor air quality
  • Enhanced safety 
  • Increased system lifespan
  • Lower energy bills
  • Maintained manufacturer’s warranties

Signs You Need Cooling System Maintenance

The best time for HVAC servicing is before anything goes wrong. However, there are some clear indications that it’s time to call in the pros:

Bad Smells

Dusty, musty, or other funky odors can indicate the buildup of dirt, mold, or moisture in the unit. Call us immediately if you smell sulfur, burning, or rotten eggs. It could be the sign of a dangerous gas leak, an electrical problem, or a dead animal.

Strange Noises 

Soft humming, clicking, or whooshing are normal. However, as belts wear, parts loosen, and fans get unbalanced, you may hear louder rattling, clanging, or grinding noises. 

Ineffective Cooling                                

Any problem with performance should be a clear sign that your AC needs some TLC. That can include air that’s not cool enough, airflow that’s not strong enough, or inconsistent temperatures throughout your home.

Reduced Efficiency

If your utility bills keep rising for no clear reason, an inefficient AC unit may be to blame. Another sign of lowered energy efficiency is short cycling. Air conditioners that turn off and on every few minutes will have higher energy costs and experience excessive wear and tear.

Poor Air Quality 

Well-functioning air conditioners should filter dust, pollution, and allergens from your air. If you’ve noticed itchy eyes or more sneezing than normal, your AC unit may not be doing its job. In some cases, malfunctioning AC systems can actually increase indoor air pollution.

Our AC Maintenance Checklist

When Trademasters Heating & Cooling comes to your home for an AC tune-up, we know what to look for. Our trained technicians follow a uniform checklist to ensure we don’t miss anything.

The following is just a sample of the items included in our AC maintenance services:

  • Clean or replace air filters
  • Clear drain lines to prevent moisture buildup
  • Test electrical wiring, thermostat functioning, and system settings
  • Inspect, clean, and thaw evaporator and condenser coils
  • Recharge refrigerant levels and check for leaks
  • Check and balance motors
  • Lubricate moving parts
  • Inspect ductwork condition and seal air gaps

To help you stay on top of HVAC maintenance, Trademasters Heating & Cooling offers MasterMaintenance Club memberships. In addition to preventative maintenance, you’ll receive a discount on repairs, a $500 credit toward system replacement, and guaranteed service within 24 hours. Read our positive reviews from satisfied residents in Onslow County.

Don’t wait until the heat hits to get your air conditioner on track. Call (252) 503-2760 to schedule an AC maintenance appointment with Trademasters Heating & Cooling today!

FAQs

What SEER rating is required for AC systems in NC?

The SEER rating required for AC systems in NC depends on the size of the unit. Air conditioners below 45,000 BTU must have a minimum rating of 15 SEER. Air conditioners above 45,000 BTU must have a minimum rating of 14.5 SEER.

Why is my AC running but not cooling?

If your AC is running but not cooling, it could have multiple system malfunctions. If your thermostat is set correctly, the issue could be a refrigerant leak, dirty filters, a faulty compressor, or a frozen evaporator coil. A professional HVAC technician can help you diagnose the problem.

Do AC units run all day?

AC units may run all day in extremely hot weather. However, if you notice that yours is constantly on or cycling when it shouldn’t, call for professional AC servicing.

How long do AC units last?

Most AC units last 10-20 years. Central air conditioners last 12-17 years, and window units last 8-10 years. Scheduling routine AC maintenance can help extend your unit’s lifespan.

EDIT; Today David came to replace our A/C. Still showed the utmost respect while in our home as he did previously. Very careful to cover my carpet and flooring where they would be walking upstairs and kept us updated as he went along completing his work. As I stated last time, David was great.David at Trademasters did a great job finding the problem with our upstairs AC unit. Very efficient, friendly and explained things to us in detail. Will definitely call them if needed in the future.

This company is great! For starters they were able to schedule an appointment with me right away as oppose to being put on a waiting list not knowing when I’ll get a call back. They are very organized and the system they have in place is very efficient. Mr. David Higgins (our technician) upon arrival was able to quickly assess the situation with our unit and fix it promptly. Was able to send me an invoice right away and was able to pay over the phone with a credit card. They make it extremely easy to work with. Based on my experience with them today they have a long time customer now. Thank you guys.

Contacted Trademasters in the morning and they arrived the same afternoon. David performed an initial inspection of the HVAC system and provided me with his professional recommendation. He gave me a detailed breakdown and price for must have services, as well as additional recommendations to make the system function more efficiently. David was professional and detail oriented throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend Trademasters (David) to my friends and neighbors.
