andrewmilich Report post Posted June 8, 2021 I have a great and honest guy in my church who does it. We just fixed 3 units at the church. He has helped with my house also. If you need someone super honest in Phoenix let me know and I can give you his info. (I make nothing for suggesting him) dude is really honest and even was featured on a show where they tried to set up a "sting" operation to see how honest AC guys were. He was the only one who said nothing was wrong with the unit. let me know. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NOTAGS Report post Posted June 8, 2021 You guys realize the refrigeration system is a closed system? There’s no “ tune up”. If it was working fine last year it should work fine this year. Condenser and evap fan motors fail when they will, as with capicitors and all other components. Refrigerant charges may need addition if your system has a leak, otherwise not. You’d a noticed a lack of cold air from your registers if so .. anyone tells you your refrigerant Aka Freon needs changing is a crook. You could replace half your components prematurely without need listening to some of these guys as most “techs” are now on a commission basis. Don’t panic and listen to crap adds on the radio . 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Change your filters monthly with a good filter. I live in a heck hole. First five ton unit was a Bryant. Got it used, lasted 18 years. All i ever did was change the return filters. Also have a 3 ton Rheem for the downstairs. Same deal, change the filter monthly, 19 years old. Almost every unit sold regardless of manufacturer from about 2005 to 2015 had coil leaking issue's when they banned R22. They used old coils in new units and they could not stand the higher pressure. you could always spray your condenser coils out with a hose if your concerned. Change your filter regularly and your evaporator coils should stay pristine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
