Fordham AC Maintenance and Tune-Ups
The cheapest AC repair is the one that never happens. A yearly tune-up catches weak capacitors before they strand you in a heat wave, clears the drain line before it floods your floor, and cleans the coils that quietly steal your cooling and pad your electric bill. Almost every July emergency we run was preventable in April.
Our tune-up is a real service visit, not a glance and a sticker. We clean the condenser and evaporator coils, wash or replace filters, clear and treat the condensate drain, verify the refrigerant charge, test capacitors, contactors, and motor amp draws against spec, check thermostat calibration, and tighten electrical connections. You get a plain-language report of what we found and what, if anything, is worth watching.
City systems need this more than suburban ones. Bronx condensers breathe street dust, soot, and cottonwood fluff all season, and coils clog noticeably faster here. Window and through-wall units collect the same grime, and a choked filter alone can cut cooling output by a third. Clean equipment cools better, lasts years longer, and costs less to run every single month.
For landlords, supers, and small commercial spaces we offer seasonal maintenance plans: every unit in the building checked and cleaned before cooling season, priority scheduling when something does break, and documentation for the management office. Ask about multi-unit pricing when you call.

Common Questions
When should I schedule my tune-up?
Spring, before the first hot week. That is when we find problems while they are still cheap and parts are easy to get. Fall service also makes sense for window units coming out for storage.
Is a maintenance plan worth it for one apartment?
For a single window unit, an annual cleaning is usually enough. Plans earn their keep with central systems, mini splits, and anyone managing multiple units, where priority service during heat waves has real value.
What does a tune-up cost?
Single-system tune-ups are a flat, advertised price with no upsell games. Multi-unit buildings get per-unit pricing that drops with volume. Call and we will quote it in one phone call.
