# How often should I service my AC in Royal Palm Beach's climate?

**AC units in Royal Palm Beach should be professionally serviced twice a year** — once in spring (before peak cooling season) and once in fall (after hurricane season). Royal Palm Beach's inland location means less salt exposure than coastal cities, but year-round humidity and 10–11 months of cooling load still demand biannual service.

A proper biannual Royal Palm Beach AC tune-up includes:

- Condenser coil cleaning (less salt here, but grass clippings, landscape debris, and lawn-chemical residue all build up fast)

- Evaporator coil inspection and cleaning

- Refrigerant pressure and charge check

- Capacitor and contactor testing (the #1 and #2 failure parts in Florida heat)

- Blower motor amp-draw reading

- Drain line flush (humidity makes mold and algae clog drains year-round — the single most common cause of water leaks)

- Thermostat calibration

- Electrical connection tightening

Royal Palm Beach homes with lush landscaping — common in Madison Green and Crestwood — should pay extra attention to condenser clearance. Shrubs planted too close to outdoor units are a leading cause of airflow-restriction failures here.
