Keep Your Cooling System Ready for Summer

Long Engineering LLC provides preventive air conditioning maintenance for homes and businesses in Bowie, Maryland.

Your air conditioner in Bowie runs for months without interruption once the heat arrives, and small issues that go unnoticed in spring can become expensive failures by July. A refrigerant leak that drops your charge by ten percent forces your compressor to work harder. A dirty coil reduces airflow and freezes your evaporator. Preventive maintenance catches these problems before they leave you without cooling during a heat wave.

The maintenance visit includes cleaning your outdoor coil, checking refrigerant levels, testing electrical connections, inspecting your blower motor, and replacing your air filter. You also receive a report of any worn components that may need attention before the next cooling season. The service is tailored to the demands of Maryland summers and the age of your equipment.

If you want to reduce the risk of breakdowns during extreme heat in Bowie, schedule AC maintenance with Long Engineering LLC today.

What Maintenance Does for Your System

During a maintenance visit at your home in Bowie, the technician cleans your outdoor coil with a low-pressure rinse, tightens electrical terminals, checks refrigerant pressure with manifold gauges, and lubricates motor bearings if your system requires it. You see visible dirt and debris removed from the coil fins, and the technician confirms that your system is drawing the correct amperage and cycling normally.

After the service is completed, your air conditioner runs more quietly, cools your home faster, and uses less energy to maintain your set temperature. Preventive maintenance keeps cooling systems running efficiently. You notice fewer temperature swings between rooms, better humidity control, and cleaner air coming from your vents.

Long Engineering LLC recommends maintenance for homes and businesses across central Maryland, especially before the cooling season begins. The service extends system lifespan and improves performance by addressing wear before it causes a breakdown. You receive a written record of the work performed, refrigerant pressures, and any components that show signs of aging.

Common concerns before scheduling annual service

Homeowners planning preventive maintenance want to know what the service includes, how often it should be done, and whether it actually prevents breakdowns. These are the questions Long Engineering LLC hears most often from residents in Bowie.

How often should I schedule AC maintenance?
Annual maintenance is recommended, ideally in late spring before the cooling season begins. This timing allows you to address issues before your system is under full load.
What does the maintenance visit include?
The technician cleans your outdoor coil, checks refrigerant levels, inspects electrical connections, tests your thermostat, replaces your air filter, and examines the blower motor and capacitors. You receive a summary of findings and recommendations.
Why does my outdoor coil need cleaning?
Dirt, pollen, and cottonwood seeds coat the coil fins and block airflow, which reduces cooling capacity and forces your compressor to work harder. Cleaning the coil restores normal heat transfer and reduces energy consumption.
Can maintenance prevent all breakdowns?
Maintenance reduces the risk of failure by catching worn components early, but it cannot prevent every breakdown. Components like capacitors and contactors wear out over time and may fail between visits.
What happens if the technician finds a problem?
You receive a description of the issue, an explanation of how it affects your system, and a cost estimate for the repair. You decide whether to proceed immediately or schedule the work for a later date.
