Air Conditioning Maintenance

AC Maintenance

Keeping Your Home Cool Through Air Conditioning Maintenance

As a Southern California resident, it’s crucial you make sure your air conditioning system isn’t an afterthought. Stay in tune with your system’s maintenance and AC repair needs.

Being disciplined about AC maintenance isn’t just good for when the next big heat wave rolls in. It’s a great way to protect your family’s comfort and your budget. That’s because your AC system’s efficiency is greatly dependent on annual maintenance and tune-ups. Plus, you’ll be happy to learn that the cost of a tune-up is often less than the energy cost of running an inefficient central air conditioning system.

AC Maintenance Q&A: What You Really Want to Know

Do I really need regular AC maintenance if my unit seems fine?

Absolutely! Even if your air conditioning unit seems to be running smoothly, regular maintenance keeps it that way. Think of it like a car—routine check-ups prevent big problems down the road. Regular AC maintenance helps your system run efficiently, saves you from surprise breakdowns, and can extend the life of your AC unit. Win-win!

What’s included in an AC tune-up, and why does it matter?

An AC tune-up covers all the nitty-gritty that keeps your system humming. We’re talking things like checking Freon levels, cleaning condenser coils, inspecting your evaporator coil, and making sure the thermostat’s doing its job. It’s all about making sure your HVAC system is cooling your home efficiently without wasting energy—or your money.

How often should I replace my air filter?

Good question! In most cases, filter replacement should happen every 1 to 3 months, depending on usage and if you’ve got pets or allergies. A clogged air filter restricts airflow, makes your AC unit work overtime, and can hike up your energy bills. Swapping it out regularly helps maintain proper airflow and improves your indoor air quality.

Why is my AC making weird noises?

Unusual noises coming from your air conditioning unit—like banging, screeching, or rattling—are usually signs something’s off. It could be a loose fan blade, worn-out motor, or an issue with your outdoor unit. Don’t ignore it! Catching problems early through routine maintenance can prevent a full-on breakdown.

Can AC maintenance really lower my energy bills?

You bet. A well-maintained HVAC system runs more efficiently, which means it uses less energy to cool your home. Things like clean condenser coils and proper refrigerant levels help your unit crank out cool air without working harder than it has to. That efficiency shows up in your lower monthly energy bills.

I live in San Diego—do I still need to worry about AC maintenance year-round?

Definitely. San Diego may have those picture-perfect temps, but your AC still gets plenty of use—especially in summer. Regular AC maintenance keeps your system ready to roll when those heat waves hit. Plus, the salty coastal air can be rough on outdoor units, so staying on top of maintenance is even more important here.

What’s the difference between an AC and a heat pump? Do they need the same maintenance?

Great question! An AC unit cools your home, while a heat pump can both heat and cool. The good news? Both systems benefit from similar maintenance—like filter replacement, coil cleaning, and electrical checks. Whether you’ve got an air conditioner or a heat pump, a good HVAC service will cover all the bases.

Great service.

Just had Evan G from Mauzy do an evaluation on the plumbing on my home. The evaluation could not have been more complete.
Every bit of the plumbing was checked. Yes everything was good to go but if there was an issue Evan with his knowledge would not have missed a thing. At least 2 hours to go through all the plumbing. I recommend every home owner to get the same service. It will save on the long run and if there are minor issues you will be made aware. Evan G was terrific.

5

Kory was great and very thorough , thank you

Mouzy is hands above any other plumbing/electrical A/C, firm I’ve used in the past, and since I am 80 years old, I’ve used a heck of a lot of them. They are fair, polite, and knowledgeable. I have no idea what More can think of to describe them.
You’ll be happy with them!

Very impressive service.

Joshua was professional and courteous. His detailed description of filtration systems, along with inspection and recommendations for correction of my failed in line water filter were a sell point for the filter I subsequently purchased from Mauzy plumbing. He provided above and beyond service, tightening fixtures and replacing piping and components at no extra charge. He demonstrated how water quality reflected filter performance, which turned out to be what he predicted it would. I was more than satisfied with Joshua’s informed and thorough
service. Thank you.

I should’ve called Mauzy first! Prior to the call to Mauzy I had 2 companies come out to help me with a plumbing issue I had. Let’s just say it got worse rather than better. Finally, Wilber, an exceptional young man to say the least, came to the rescue! Knowledgeable, efficient, and walked me through every step of the process. Pinpointed the problem and had my plumbing issue resolved. Thank you Mauzy for having exceptional employees that know what they are doing! Will continue my services with Mauzy.

I highly recommend Mauzy! Their technician Wilber did an amazing job! He was professional from the moment he arrived. He was respectful, knowledgeable and very thorough. He quickly identified the issue and took the time to explain my options clearly. He made sure everything was cleaned up and working perfectly before leaving which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Definitely recommend this company and highly suggest you request Wilber!

5

Mauzy plumbing installed a tankless water heater for me in February and they did a superb job. The technician from Mauzy who installed my tankless water heater was Franky. I recently had a question about my system and Mauzy immediately sent Franky back to my home to evaluate the situation. He did a thorough analysis and determined that everything is good. I’m sure all of the Mauzy technicians are excellent, but if I ever have a complicated plumbing problem in the future, I would specifically ask for Franky; he is extremely knowledgeable and thorough and I can’t recommend him and Mauzy highly enough.

5

Mike Kesner was great! Professional, knew what to do to check the issue and was efficient in its resolution.

5

Excellent both times. Technicians were knowledgeable and polite. Respectfull of my house. Top notch service.

5

The Mauzy crew did a great job installing our new cooling and heating system. Alejandro, Chris, and Isaac worked all day to complete the work and were very professional. They deserve a free lunch for their efforts.

Mauzy’s technician, Christian Perez, was absolutely wonderful. He was very personable, professional, knowledgeable, patient and kind. He described the who, what, where and why in great detail and iI really appreciated all his efforts and guidance. Thank you Christian and Mauzy telephone staff.

I couldn’t be happier with the service I received from Wilber! From start to finish, he was professional, on time, and knew his stuff. He quickly diagnosed the issue, explained everything clearly, and completed the repair on time. Attention to detail was great and was very respectful of my home. He made sure everything was clean and working perfectly before leaving.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Joe Annello from Mauzy Cooling, Heating, Plumbing, and I cannot say enough about how great the experience was. From start to finish, Joe stood out for his exceptional professionalism and friendly demeanor, making what could have been a stressful situation feel effortless and reassuring. Joe was incredibly thorough in his work, taking the time to carefully assess and diagnose the issue. It was obvious that he takes pride in his work and genuinely cares about providing the best service possible. His attention to detail was truly impressive, and he made sure everything was checked over meticulously before giving his recommendations. What really set Joe apart was his ability to explain everything he found clearly and in a way that was easy to understand. He never rushed through the details or overwhelmed me with technical jargon; instead, he patiently walked me through his findings and the steps needed to resolve the issue. It made me feel confident and informed about the situation, which I really appreciated. Joe’s combination of friendliness, thoroughness, and clear communication truly makes him a standout technician. If you’re looking for someone who is not only skilled but also goes above and beyond to ensure an excellent customer experience, I highly recommend Joe Annello. He represents Mauzy Cooling, Heating, Plumbing in the best possible way and is someone you’d want working on your home!

All I can say it was a pleasure working with Evan&Alex and today with Tommy – All I can say is I’m glad I’m part of the Mauzy Family! Tip Top service, completely knowledgeable and addressed ALL problems.

Corey Buck checked out our HVAC system today and was quick, thorough and efficient. He was also very courteous and amiable. We appreciate he was on time arriving just after 8 am with a 8-10 am window. Thank you.

5

A water heater breaking & unique older home piping/water pressure situation made what should have been a routine water heater replacement a bit more complex, and Ron, Ryan & Kacey were great in helping us get this quoted and serviced in the same day. I appreciate how communicative Ron was and how flexible Ryan was with our crazy schedules!

5

Chris Sotelo, Alejandro, Eddie and Westin were amazing today. They came to install a new A/C Heater unit and did a great work. They were knowledgeable, careful handling the equipment and did everything in a timely way. Thank you to this crew team!
