What We Check During an AC Inspection

A thorough inspection covers both the outdoor and indoor sides of your system. Here’s what our technicians assess on every visit.

Outdoor Unit
We check refrigerant levels, inspect the coil and cabinet, clear debris from inside the unit, check the base pan and drain openings, and inspect the fan motor and blades for wear.

Indoor Unit
We inspect and clean the blower assembly, examine the evaporator coil and drain pan, check condensate drain lines for blockages, and review electrical connections, controls, and wiring.

Filters & Thermostat
We check your filter and replace it if needed, then verify thermostat calibration and settings so your system responds the way you expect.

Full System Cycle Test
We run the system through a complete startup, operation, and shutdown cycle to confirm everything is working together as it should.

Ductwork Visual Check
We perform a visual assessment of accessible ductwork for obvious leaks or airflow restrictions that could be reducing efficiency.

After the inspection, your technician walks you through every finding in plain language. If repairs are recommended, you receive upfront pricing before any work starts. The decision is yours.

Why Tampa’s Climate Makes an Annual AC Inspection Worth It

Tampa Bay AC systems work harder than almost anywhere else in the country. A longer cooling season means more run hours per year, which accelerates wear on components like capacitors, contactors, and coils. High humidity compounds the problem: condensate drain lines clog more frequently, and evaporator coils accumulate grime at an above-average rate. Both issues are easy to catch during an inspection and costly to ignore.

Florida’s afternoon thunderstorm season adds another layer. Frequent power fluctuations can stress electrical components and controls in ways that aren’t obvious until the system fails on the hottest day of the year. Scheduling an inspection before peak summer gives you time to address anything we find before your system is under its heaviest daily load.

From Inspection to Ongoing Protection

If you’d rather stay ahead of problems year-round, our Shield Maintenance Agreement is the natural next step after an inspection. Members receive priority scheduling during peak summer weeks when demand is highest, preferred pricing on maintenance and qualifying services, and regularly scheduled tune-ups. Ask your technician about the plan during your visit, or head to our AC Maintenance page for full details.

Signs It’s Time to Schedule an AC Inspection

Sometimes the system gives you clear signals. Other times, the only sign is that it’s been more than 12 months since anyone looked at it. Either way, these are common reasons Tampa homeowners call us.

Warm or Uneven Air From the Vents
When the thermostat is set to cool but the air coming out is warm or inconsistent, it can point to refrigerant issues, airflow restrictions, or a failing component.

Unusual Sounds From the Unit
Grinding, rattling, or squealing from the indoor or outdoor unit usually means something mechanical needs attention sooner rather than later.

Rising Energy Bills
An unexplained increase in monthly energy costs, without any change in usage habits, often signals the system is working harder than it should to hold temperature.

Moisture or Water Stains
Pooling water or stains around the air handler or indoor unit typically point to a clogged condensate drain line, a common issue in Tampa’s humid climate.

Short Cycling or Constant Running
Both patterns indicate the system is struggling to maintain its set temperature and warrant a closer look.

Reduced Airflow From Registers
Weak airflow throughout the home can stem from ductwork issues, a dirty evaporator coil, or a failing blower.

After the Inspection: What to Expect

If your technician finds anything during the visit, you’ll hear about it in plain language before we do anything else. We provide upfront pricing on all recommended repairs so you know exactly what addressing each issue can cost. You decide what to move forward with. We won’t recommend services your system doesn’t need, and we won’t start work without your approval.

As a current offer, a free diagnostic is available with a completed repair. Ask about it when you call to book your appointment, as promotional offers can change.
