🧼 How Often Should You Clean Your AC? | Orange County HVAC Guide

Living in Orange County, CA means plenty of sunshine and warm weather nearly year-round — which also means your air conditioner works harder than most. To keep it running efficiently and avoid costly repairs, regular cleaning is essential.

At GoTech Air Conditioning & Heating, we recommend cleaning your AC system at least twice a year to reduce energy bills, improve air quality, and prevent breakdowns. Whether you use a central AC unit, ductless mini-split, or heat pump, maintenance is the key to comfort.

🌟 Why Cleaning Your AC Matters

Better Efficiency

Dust and debris force your system to work harder, using more energy to cool your home. A clean system saves money on utility bills.

Improved Air Quality

Dirty filters and coils circulate dust, allergens, and bacteria throughout your home. For families, allergy sufferers, or pet owners, clean air matters.

Longer Equipment Life

Routine cleaning reduces wear and tear, helping your AC or heat pump last longer and preventing early replacement.

🗓️ How Often Should You Clean Your AC?

  • Filters: Replace every 1–3 months, especially during summer.

  • Evaporator & Condenser Coils: Clean at least once a year by a professional.

  • Drain Lines: Flush every 6 months to prevent leaks or mold.

  • Full System Check: Schedule twice a year (spring + fall) for best results in Orange County’s climate.

🛠️ DIY vs. Professional Cleaning

While homeowners can handle simple tasks like replacing filters and keeping vents clear, deep cleaning should always be left to certified HVAC technicians.

💡 Pro Tip for Orange County Homeowners
