AC units in Palm Beach Gardens should be professionally serviced twice a year — once in spring (before peak cooling season) and once in fall (after hurricane season). High-efficiency and multi-zone systems common here benefit even more from strict maintenance than standard equipment, because small issues compound faster in variable-speed systems.
A proper biannual Palm Beach Gardens AC tune-up includes:
- Condenser coil cleaning on each outdoor unit (important for homes east of I-95 near the Intracoastal)
- Evaporator coil inspection and cleaning on each zone's air handler
- Refrigerant pressure and charge check (variable-speed systems are sensitive to even small undercharge conditions)
- Capacitor and contactor testing
- Blower motor amp-draw reading on each air handler
- Drain line flush (the single most common cause of water leaks)
- Thermostat calibration — essential for communicating thermostats
- Control board firmware and error-log review (critical on Trane XV, Carrier Infinity, Lennox SL systems)
- Electrical connection tightening
Luxury homes in Frenchmans Reserve, Mirasol, and Old Palm often have 3–5 zones to service; biannual maintenance on each zone is the best insurance against mid-summer failures.
