AC units in Wellington should be professionally serviced twice a year — once in spring (before peak cooling season) and once in fall (after hurricane season). Equestrian facilities often benefit from quarterly service during Winter Equestrian Festival and summer months when barn HVAC runs hardest.
A proper biannual Wellington residential AC tune-up includes:
- Condenser coil cleaning (pollen, landscape debris, and lawn-chemical residue are the bigger factors here than salt)
- Evaporator coil inspection and cleaning
- Refrigerant pressure and charge check
- Capacitor and contactor testing
- Blower motor amp-draw reading
- Drain line flush (humidity makes drains clog year-round)
- Thermostat calibration
- Electrical connection tightening
For equestrian facilities, add:
- Dehumidifier function test in tack rooms (moisture ruins leather and bridle hardware)
- Barn aisle and stall airflow audit — shifted fans, blocked vents, and accumulated hay dust all reduce effectiveness
- Feed-room temperature and humidity log review
- Pre-season tune-up in November before Winter Equestrian Festival traffic begins
