Data-Driven Notes for Air Conditioning Service Burnaby

Good maintenance prevents emergency calls. It also helps you avoid the most common “small problems” that turn into expensive repairs during the hottest week of the year.

What service catches early

Weak capacitors and worn contactors often show signs before they fail. Restricted airflow from filters and coils can push coil temperatures toward freezing. Drain clogs start as slow drainage before they turn into leaks.

Best timing in Burnaby

Booking service before peak summer demand helps you avoid long waits. Early-season tune-ups also reduce stress on compressors and fan motors when the heat arrives.

What affects service cost

Cost depends on access (condo/strata rules, rooftops, tight mechanical rooms), equipment type (central vs ductless), coil condition, and whether the visit reveals a failing part that needs replacement.

FAQ: Air Conditioning Service Burnaby

How often should I book air conditioning service in Burnaby?
Once per year is a good schedule for most homes, booked before peak summer demand. If your system runs heavily, is older, or you have airflow issues, you may benefit from a mid-season check.
Will service make my AC blow colder?
Service can improve cooling when the system is held back by airflow restrictions, dirty coils, weak electrical components, or drainage issues that affect performance. If a part has failed, repair may be required.
What’s the difference between AC service and AC repair?
Service is maintenance and performance testing. Repair fixes a confirmed fault such as a failed capacitor, contactor, motor, control issue, or leak-related problem.
Can AC service prevent water leaks?
Yes. Drain checks and cleaning help prevent clogs, overflow, and water damage. This is especially important for condos and finished basements.
What should I do before my service appointment?
Make sure the thermostat is accessible and the indoor unit area is clear. If you know where your filter is, having a clean filter ready helps the system run properly after service.
Do you service ductless mini-splits in Burnaby?
Yes. Ductless systems need cleaning, airflow checks, electrical inspection, and drainage checks to prevent leaks and performance loss.
Is refrigerant “top up” part of normal service?
Refrigerant does not get “used up.” If refrigerant is low, it usually indicates a leak or another problem that needs proper diagnosis and repair.
My AC smells musty. Can service help?
Musty smells can come from moisture and drainage issues, dirty coils, or airflow problems. Service checks the drain path and coil condition to reduce odor causes.
When should I consider replacing my AC instead of servicing it?
If the system has frequent breakdowns, poor performance even after service, or major component issues, replacement may be the better long-term option. Installation planning should always be based on proper sizing and home layout.
