AC Maintenance in Greater Boston & the South Shore


The best way to avoid an AC breakdown on the hottest day of the year is a yearly tune-up. Trust 1 Heating, Cooling & Plumbing maintains central air conditioners for homes across Greater Boston and the South Shore.

We recommend scheduling AC maintenance once a year, ideally before the cooling season starts.

Our 18-Point AC Tune-Up

Every Trust 1 AC maintenance visit includes:

  • Check the condenser coil
  • Check the evaporator coil
  • Check the blower motor
  • Check the refrigerant charge
  • Lubricate motors, bearings and fans (if applicable)
  • Check and tighten all electrical connections
  • Check temperatures and pressures
  • Check the thermostat for proper operation
  • Test and label emergency shutoffs
  • Check controls and safety devices
  • Check capacitors
  • Check the condensate drain
  • Check relays and contactors
  • Check ductwork for leaks (if applicable)
  • Check amperage and voltage
  • Start and test the system through a full cycle
  • Check airflow
  • Check the humidifier or dehumidifier

Why AC Maintenance Matters

  • Fewer breakdowns: worn parts and small problems get caught before they leave you without cooling.
  • Lower energy bills: a clean, well-tuned system uses less energy to cool your home.
  • Longer system life: regular care helps your equipment last.

Signs Your AC Needs Attention

  • Weak or warm airflow from your vents
  • The system runs constantly or turns on and off over and over
  • Ice on the refrigerant lines or indoor coil
  • Water around your indoor unit
  • Higher energy bills without a change in use

If you notice any of these, you may need a repair instead of a tune-up.

How Often Should You Schedule AC Maintenance?

Once a year, ideally before the cooling season starts. Between visits, change your air filter regularly and keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves and debris.
