An air conditioning maintenance plan can mean different things depending on the company you talk to, but the goal should always be the same: To make sure your AC is running as safely and efficiently as possible.
Your air conditioner and heater are made up of many different parts that all have to work together. When you’re on a maintenance plan, a technician will come to your home (usually once or twice a year) to check these components and let you know if anything needs attention.
One of the most common steps during a maintenance visit is cleaning the condenser coil — the part of your unit that sits outside. The technician may use a water hose to rinse away dirt, leaves, and debris. This is important because a clean coil allows heat to be moved out of your home more easily, which keeps your AC working efficiently.

Sometimes, the technician will also clean certain parts of the indoor unit. Over time, dust, dirt, and even biological growth can build up inside. Removing these contaminants can improve your indoor air quality and help your system run more smoothly.
