Between May and September, Gwinnett County air conditioners run nearly around the clock. That kind of demand takes a toll. Skipping annual maintenance doesn’t just shorten your system’s lifespan — it means higher energy bills, more frequent breakdowns, and the very real chance of a failure on a 95-degree afternoon.
At Holtkamp HVAC & Plumbing, our maintenance visits aren’t a quick glance and a filter swap. We do a complete inspection and tune-up so your system leaves each visit cleaner, tighter, and more efficient than when we arrived.

Signs Your AC Is Overdue for a Tune-Up
You don’t always need a breakdown to know something’s off. Watch for these signs that your system needs a professional look before small problems turn into big ones:
- Your energy bills are climbing even though your usage habits haven’t changed.
- The house takes much longer to reach your set temperature than it used to.
- You’re noticing new sounds — rattling, squealing, or grinding — from the unit.
- Airflow from vents feels weaker than normal in certain rooms.
- Indoor humidity feels high even when the AC is running.
- It’s been more than a year since a technician looked at the system.
- The system cycles on and off more frequently than usual.
- You spot ice forming on the coil or refrigerant lines.
What’s Included in Our AC Maintenance Visit
Every tune-up covers the full system — not just the easy stuff. Here’s exactly what our NATE-certified technicians inspect, clean, and adjust during every visit:
Refrigerant Check
We verify refrigerant levels and inspect for leaks. Low refrigerant is one of the most common reasons an AC stops cooling effectively.
Coil Cleaning
Dirty evaporator and condenser coils force the system to work harder. We clean both to restore heat transfer efficiency.
Electrical & Controls
We inspect and tighten all electrical connections, test capacitors, and check contactors — components that fail silently and suddenly.
Airflow & Filter
We inspect the blower, measure airflow, and check your air filter. Restricted airflow accounts for a surprising number of AC complaints.
Drain Line Flush
Clogged condensate drains cause water damage and mold. We clear the drain line and verify proper drainage before we leave.
Moving Parts Lubrication
Belts, motors, and fan bearings wear out faster without lubrication. We oil all moving parts to reduce friction and extend component life.
Thermostat Calibration
We verify your thermostat is reading and responding accurately. An off-calibration thermostat wastes energy and causes temperature swings.
Safety Controls Test
We test high-pressure switches, limit controls, and safety shut-offs to make sure your system protects itself — and your home — as designed.
Performance Report
Before we leave, we walk you through exactly what we found, what we did, and any concerns to watch. No guesswork, no vague summaries.
What to Expect on Your Maintenance Visit
Simple, thorough, and respectful of your time — every visit follows the same reliable process.
Step 1 — Schedule at Your Convenience
Call us at (470) 610-2225 and we’ll book a time that fits your schedule. We give you a 2-hour arrival window — not a vague “sometime in the afternoon.”
Step 2 — Technician Arrives On Time
We call before we head your way. Our NATE-certified technician arrives in a marked truck, in uniform, and ready to work.
Step 3 — Full System Inspection & Tune-Up
We work through the complete checklist — no shortcuts. If we find anything that needs attention, we’ll show you exactly what it is and explain your options.
Step 4 — Honest Report — No Pressure
You get a straight summary of your system’s condition. If everything looks good, we’ll tell you so. If there’s a concern, we’ll give you honest guidance — not a sales pitch.
Step 5 — We Clean Up and Head Out
Your home looks exactly as we found it. We make sure your system is running and cooling before we close up and go.

Questions About AC Maintenance in Grayson
How often should I have my AC serviced?
Once a year is the standard recommendation — ideally in early spring before the Georgia heat arrives. If your system runs heavily or is older, twice-yearly visits may make sense. We’ll give you an honest recommendation based on your specific equipment.
What’s the difference between a tune-up and a repair visit?
A tune-up is proactive — we service a functioning system to keep it running well and catch small problems before they become failures. A repair visit addresses something that’s already broken. Regular tune-ups significantly reduce the need for unplanned repairs.
How long does a maintenance visit take?
Most tune-ups take between 45 minutes and an hour and a half. If we find something that needs attention, we’ll talk through options before doing any additional work — so you’re never surprised by the scope or the bill.
Will maintenance actually save me money?
In most cases, yes. A clean, properly tuned system uses less energy to do the same job. Studies consistently show that well-maintained AC systems run 10–15% more efficiently than neglected ones — which adds up quickly on a Georgia summer electric bill.
Do you service all brands, or just Trane?
We service all major brands — Carrier, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, Daikin, and more. While we’re an authorized Trane dealer and have specialized training on Trane equipment, our NATE-certified technicians are qualified to service whatever system you have.
What if you find a problem during the tune-up?
We’ll tell you clearly what we found, show you if possible, and give you your options — including whether it’s urgent or something to monitor. You decide what to do next. We never pressure a repair or inflate a problem to sell you something you don’t need.
