Air Conditioner Maintenance & Tune-Ups in Western Montana
A breakdown in the middle of summer isn’t just frustrating—it’s avoidable. At Garden City Plumbing & Heating, we provide thorough AC maintenance and tune-up services that keep your system running reliably during the hottest days of the year. Whether you live in central Missoula or the surrounding Garden City neighborhoods, our technicians are ready to help you get ahead of repairs and avoid the stress of emergency service.
We’ve been serving Western Montana since 1985. When it comes to air conditioners, we know the wear-and-tear that comes with high use, mountain dust, and sudden temperature shifts. A well-timed tune-up keeps your system clean, efficient, and less likely to quit when you need it most.
What’s Included in an AC Tune-Up?
A tune-up is more than just a quick once-over. It’s a full-system performance check that helps you get the most from your AC—whether it’s a newer high-efficiency model or an older unit nearing the end of its lifespan.
During a typical AC maintenance visit, we’ll:
- Clean condenser coils and check for dirt buildup
- Inspect refrigerant levels and check for leaks
- Test thermostat operation and calibration
- Verify electrical connections and capacitor performance
- Check blower motor and fan operation
- Clean or replace air filters
- Inspect and tighten outdoor unit components
- Test full cooling cycle and airflow
- Look for signs of early component wear
We service all major brands and model types, including ducted central air systems, ductless mini-splits, and systems paired with smart thermostats. Our team is equipped to keep your equipment running the way it should—without pushing upgrades or repairs you don’t need.
Due for a tune-up? Call (406) 728-5550 to schedule your AC maintenance today.
Why AC Maintenance Matters in Montana
Air conditioners work hard in our climate. You may not run yours year-round, but during the peak of summer, it’s under serious stress. AC maintenance helps prevent:
- Sudden mid-season breakdowns
- Reduced cooling efficiency
- Uncomfortably high indoor humidity
- Unnoticed refrigerant leaks or airflow restrictions
- Expensive repair bills from neglected wear
It also protects your long-term investment. Most manufacturers require regular maintenance to keep warranties valid. A single missed tune-up could cost you thousands in replacement parts later on.
Signs You Need a Tune-Up
Even if your system is still running, it might be time to schedule service. Here are some signs we often see before a unit fails:
- Weak airflow from vents
- Hot or uneven temperatures in parts of the home
- Loud buzzing or clicking noises from the outdoor unit
- A sudden spike in your electric bill
- AC runs constantly without shutting off
- You haven’t had maintenance in over a year
If you’re seeing any of these, give us a call. A simple service visit could prevent a major issue down the road.
Maintenance for All Systems
We maintain a wide range of cooling systems used throughout Missoula homes and businesses, including:
