Licensed HVAC Services in San Diego, CA 92071 - Montoya Chris Heating & Air Conditioning

Our standard maintenance visit is a comprehensive check-up designed for San Diego homes. It includes inspecting and replacing your air filter, cleaning condenser coils, checking refrigerant levels and pressure for leaks, testing system controls and thermostat calibration, and ensuring all electrical connections are secure. This proactive service helps prevent the most common failures, improves efficiency, and extends the life of your system.

Signs of a refrigerant leak include your AC blowing warm air, ice forming on the refrigerant lines or evaporator coil, a noticeable hissing or bubbling sound, and a sudden spike in your energy bills. As local experts, we use electronic leak detectors and ultraviolet dye to accurately locate even small leaks. We then repair the leak, perform a vacuum test to ensure the system is sealed, and recharge it with the correct amount of refrigerant for optimal, efficient cooling in our climate.

In our dusty, sometimes windy environment, air filters clog faster than many homeowners realize. A dirty filter restricts airflow, forcing your system to work much harder. This leads to higher energy costs, uneven cooling or heating, and excessive wear that can cause premature breakdowns. It can also reduce your indoor air quality. We recommend checking your filter monthly and changing it at least every 1-3 months to protect your investment and maintain comfort.
