What’s Included in Your Air Conditioning Maintenance Appointment

GEM’s air conditioning technicians follow a detailed, homeowner-first approach that protects your comfort and helps prevent unexpected breakdowns.

Our technicians complete a series of professional maintenance tasks designed to keep your system running efficiently and reliably. Here’s what you get when you book an AC maintenance appointment:

Your GEM service technician starts with a full system evaluation to make sure your air conditioner is operating safely and as designed. This includes checking electrical connections, controls, and overall system condition to identify any immediate concerns.

Proper airflow is critical for performance and efficiency. We inspect and replace air filters as needed and check airflow throughout the system to help your AC cool evenly and effectively.

Dirty coils force your system to work harder and use more energy. We carefully clean the evaporator and condenser coils to improve heat transfer, boost efficiency, and support consistent cooling.

Incorrect refrigerant levels can reduce comfort and strain your equipment. Our technicians check refrigerant levels and test system performance to ensure your air conditioner is cooling properly without unnecessary stress.

We inspect motors, capacitors, belts, and other critical components for wear and tear. Small adjustments and early fixes help prevent larger, more expensive repairs down the road.

Before we leave, we walk you through what we found in clear, straightforward terms. If we spot opportunities to improve performance, extend system life, or plan ahead, we’ll explain your options.

Review for David Salvatore from Gem Plumbing and Heating

I recently had the pleasure of working with David Salvatore from Gem Plumbing and Heating on March 31, 2026, when he performed maintenance on my air conditioning systems. The service he provided was exceptional and very thorough. David demonstrated great professionalism, expertise, and efficiency throughout the process.

My overall experience with David was great, and I would highly recommend his services to anyone in need of HVAC maintenance and repairs. Thank you, David, for your excellent work!
Main water shut off valve needed to be replaced
GEM was fast efficient and extremely courteous
I highly recommend them
Nathan Campbell did a great job !
Great experience. On time, pleasant and performed work efficiently.
Nicole was incredibly knowledgeable, honest, and efficient! I was so thankful that she was able to get here quickly on a Saturday when we had an unknown alarm blaring in our basement. It turned out to be something in our AC unit that was luckily replaceable same day.
I joined the membership. I'm disabled and the membership will help with any future issues.
Very professional and communicative. Really appreciated David's work.
Professional, courteous, knowledgeable to answer all my questions. The work was done in a neat and timely manner
Brody and his associate were outstanding from start to finish. They came in kind, knowledgeable, and got the job done quickly! Exactly what you want! GEM is the real deal. Highly recommend!
Aaron came for a 2nd successful visit. This time to figure out the cause of low/no water pressure in some of our H&C setups for 5 bathroom sinks. He left with 3 sinks H&C flowing freely & demonstrated the need for 2 new faucet installations so Hot H2O could be restored to the remaining sinks. Much appreciated as others had immediately started talking about replacing pipes without investigating less complicated solutions. As before, Aaron was a professional pleasure to have in our home & pricing will be the only holdup for us to continue with the faucet installations. Due to him, I have high hopes for the GEM electrician arriving next week & the HVAC maintenance later this month.
Joseph H did a great job for us . After hours
He fixed our boiler so quick he was polite & very efficient . Thankful for him
The folks at Carmine's always do a great job👍 Tim is a great plumber, explains things, and provides options.
Very professional service. They came the same day and solved the problem quickly and completely. I would definitely use Gem again if I needed plumbing work.
I called GEM because I wanted my ductless AC’s checked to see if they needed any service. Christopher Cennamo came and examined both units and said they were functioning properly but needed a cleaning to remove mold and dirt. The large unit is at the top of a stairwell so access requires a tall ladder. Christopher made the appointment to return to do the cleaning and also to determine why the larger unit was tilting off the wall. He returned today and determined that the larger unit’s mounting bracket was only attached to drywall and not a wooden stud. He and Brody Lott secured the mounting bracket to a stud, ensuring the unit is now securely on the wall. A thorough cleaning of both units was completed including removal of a mouse nest. Christopher told me how to use steel wool in the outside pipe cover to prevent mice from entering which I promptly did. Christopher Cennamo was very professional, thorough, knowledgeable and explained everything. The cleaning was expensive but worth it. Plus he didn’t charge extra to repair the faulty mounting issue because GEM had done the initial install and not done it properly. I highly recommend Christopher Cennamo for any of your heating and cooling jobs.

Frequently Asked Questions About Air Conditioning Maintenance

How often should I schedule air conditioning maintenance?

Most air conditioning systems should be professionally maintained once a year, ideally in the spring before peak cooling season. Annual maintenance helps keep your system efficient, reliable, and prepared for summer heat.

GEM’s maintenance includes a full system inspection, cleaning of critical components, performance testing, and safety checks—everything typically included in professional AC service. Our technicians also provide clear recommendations if they spot potential issues or opportunities to improve efficiency.

Why is regular AC maintenance so important?

Without regular maintenance, air conditioners lose efficiency and are more likely to break down during hot weather. Routine service helps prevent costly repairs, lowers energy bills, and extends the life of your system.

Will AC maintenance help lower my energy bills?
