Elite Air Conditioning and Plumbing

For systems under 10 years old, repair is usually the better choice. For systems over 10 years old facing major repairs (compressor, coil, refrigerant issues), replacement often makes financial sense. Elite can compare both costs and help you decide based on the system's age, condition, and your plans to stay in the home.

Elite recommends seasonal maintenance: end of spring before cooling season begins, and fall before heating season. Annual tune-ups catch small problems before they become expensive repairs. Over 80% of AC repairs can be prevented with proper maintenance.

A typical tune-up includes inspection and cleaning of condenser coils, coolant level monitoring, lubrication of moving parts, thermostat calibration, tightening of electrical connectors, blower motor and belt inspection, safety inspection, and ductwork inspection for proper air distribution.

Signs include extreme temperature variations room to room, foul-smelling odors from vents, or steep increases in energy bills. These often signal leaks, tears, or poor connections in ducts. Leaky ducts force the HVAC system to work harder, wasting conditioned air and increasing costs.

Oversized units cycle on and off too quickly, wasting energy and providing inconsistent comfort. Undersized units run constantly without reaching target temperature. Elite takes time to inspect your home's specific factors-insulation, windows, square footage, sun exposure-to recommend the right equipment size for efficient, reliable operation.
