Out with the old, in with the fly: Welcome to Dragonfly Heating & Cooling - formerly known as All Pro Air!

Is AC Maintenance Necessary for Riverside, CA Homes?


It’s no secret that summertime in Riverside, CA, is hot with dry heat. While many enjoy spending time outdoors in the heat, most residents also like to cool off indoors under their air conditioners. Unfortunately, the lack of routine AC maintenance causes homeowners to have preventable AC breakdowns and costly repairs at times when they need a reliable air conditioner.

Maintaining an air conditioner is a necessary chore that many homeowners overlook, because they don’t understand the significance of the task or how it affects more than their comfort. The Dragonfly team is here to educate you on the importance of AC maintenance in Riverside, CA and the benefits the service can provide.

What Is AC Maintenance?

AC maintenance is a series of steps for keeping the cooling unit running near peak performance. The service is similar to taking your car for an oil change or going to a doctor for a yearly checkup. Instead of waiting for problems to arise with your air conditioner, preventative maintenance ensures the system is safe, functional, and ready for use each spring and summer.

Maintenance includes thorough inspections from Dragonfly’s skilled HVAC technicians. Our professionals have ample training and hands-on experience to recognize early warning signs of damage and wear. They know how to make the system more efficient, so it doesn’t need excessive energy to produce cold air.

During the inspection, the technician will perform several tasks, such as:

  • Clearing the drain line
  • Replacing the air filter
  • Cleaning the condenser unit outside
  • Checking all electrical components
  • Assessing the refrigerant levels
  • Inspect all air conditioning components
  • Repair or replace damaged parts

What Are The Advantages Of Maintaining Your Air Conditioner?

With the proper maintenance, your air conditioner will run smoothly and have greater energy efficiency all summer long. It also dramatically reduces the risk of the unit experiencing unexpected breakdowns that require costly repairs or a complete system replacement sooner than later. Below we have provided five benefits of scheduling AC maintenance in Rancho Cucamonga, CA and surrounding areas with a Dragonfly technician.

  • Save Money
  • Better Energy Efficiency
  • Enhanced Comfort
  • Improved Carbon Footprint
  • Peace Of Mind

Save Money

When your air conditioner doesn’t operate optimally due to a dirty air filter, frozen evaporator coil, blocked vents, or another common problem, it will overwork itself to compensate for the issue. The extra work uses additional energy, which leads to costly energy expenses. A chore as simple as replacing a filthy filter can reduce an AC’s energy consumption by up to 15%, according to the Department of Energy.

Another way to save money with air conditioner maintenance is an extended lifespan on your equipment. With maintenance, the unit receives all its repairs and performance-related adjustments, so it’s less likely to break down prematurely. Most well-maintained air conditioners last between 15 to 20 years.

Better Energy Efficiency

The biggest electricity consumer in your home is your HVAC system. An AC unit needs a large amount of energy to work properly. Still, you can reduce its energy consumption and maximize the system’s energy efficiency with routine maintenance. Every part of an air conditioner works in tandem to produce and circulate chilled air throughout your house. When a single component breaks, lacks maintenance, is faulty, or has an improper installation, it affects everything else in a chain reaction, causing greater energy consumption.

Enhanced Comfort

Nothing is better than walking into a chilled home after a long day in heat and sunlight. With routine AC maintenance, you can enjoy that sensation throughout the spring and summer months. Your unit will have more even cooling and provide a steady distribution of chilled air.

Improved Carbon Footprint

A surprising benefit of air conditioner maintenance to many people in Riverside is an improved carbon footprint. When you run your air conditioner or furnace, you’re consuming energy. Energy that runs on fossil fuel combustion contributes to air pollution. Though you can’t run your air conditioner without electricity, you can reduce how much fossil fuel it consumes through maintenance and improved energy efficiency.

Peace of Mind

The last thing you want to experience on a sweltering day is a broken air conditioner, but unexpected situations can and will occur. Fortunately, you can rest assured your maintenance endeavors include the necessary steps to reduce the risk of having an AC problem severe enough to trigger a costly system breakdown.

When Should You Schedule AC Maintenance In Fontana, CA?

Ideally, professional HVAC maintenance should occur at least twice a year. You can schedule a furnace tune-up in the fall to ensure your heating system is ready for Riverside’s mild but chilly winters. For AC maintenance, it’s best to contact a qualified contractor in the spring for a tune-up.

You might choose to wait until summer is in full swing to book the appointment, but that’s not the wise thing to do. Summertime is when most AC technicians are busy. If your unit breaks down or fails to keep your home cool when temperatures are high and you wait too long for a tune-up, you could find yourself waiting even longer for an appointment. Instead, book the service in the spring and make sure the unit is ready to battle the heat.

Although we recommend scheduling AC maintenance during the spring season, it is never too late to start taking care of your air conditioner! If you have yet to schedule preventative maintenance for your AC unit, give the Dragonfly experts a call to keep your air conditioner running efficiently for the remainder of summer!

What To Do Between Tune-Ups

If you decide to schedule the service annually, you can still take steps to maintain your cooling system until the next appointment. Here are several do-it-yourself tips for maintaining an air conditioner:

  • Change or clean air filters at least once every 90 days
  • Clean the vents
  • Ensure the outdoor unit has at least two feet of clearance on all sides
  • Turn your thermostat up a few degrees at night and when no one is home
  • Call an HVAC professional at the first sign of trouble

Dustin did a great job diagnosing and fixing my heater, which had a bad connection. He was professional, efficient, and took the time to explain the issue. He also recommended swapping out the board while we still have time, which I appreciate. Solid service and honest advice—definitely recommend!

My family has trusted Dragonfly for the last 10+ or so years and they haven’t disappointed. A couple years ago they’ve replaced my AC, relocated my water heater and installed a whole house fan. Each time they have come out, they have been professional, informative, helpful and kind. With each estimate I’ve requested, they have been timely and always have provided competitive pricing.They’re staff from the fabulous gals in the office, to Jeff who led the install, to their owners Sheldon and Barry really set them apart. Such an AMAZING and TRUSTWORTHY group. So so thankful!

I had my heater inspected and prepared for the winter ahead by Dragonfly HVAC company today. My technician was Austin, he is thorough and knowledgeable. He replaced my filter and cleaned some electrical connections in addition to testing my motors for amperage draw, and my capacitors for variance. In other words, my system is now ready to perform its work to keep my home comfortable and warm.

Drangonfly operates a business of integrity. They showed up 5 min early of the 4 hour window which was a good surprise. They diagnosed the problem in 5 min and went over our options. If you want a quality installer who will not deceive you, and relies on quality and word of mouth satisfaction, give them a try.

Dragonfly heating and cooling (used to be All Pro Air) is a great customer service and quality oriented company. We have used them numerous times to upgrade and maintain our home.First we used them to install an all house fan in the attic which is extremely useful in the summer months with cooler nights which saves us greatly on our electric bill!Then we used them to replace our entire ducting in our attic as certain rooms had limited to no airflow and would not cool down. They discovered some crushed ducts and we decided to replace it all. Good price, and even better customer service! When I called the next day saying there was still an imbalance between rooms, they sent one of their install managers who personally tweaked the ducts until it was just as we wanted it.Third we had our blower motor and wheel fail in an original furnace and decided to replace the furnace and coil (trouble in buying a 40 year home with original parts!). They came and installed professionally and provided us a temporary mobile cooler. The next day, the refrigerant line froze over so after calling they sent someone same day who changed the charge level to ensure we were good to go. A month later, our furnace started rattling even though it was working, and after calling they sent someone next day who then replaced blower wheel, identified issue, and made the configuration more efficient. Yes there have been minor issues, but the customer service is what makes them the top choice in the area. And their prices are honest and competitive.Their techs are also professional, friendly, and willing to answer all my HVAC questions. In every experience, they provided good service and were courteous to our home and property.Highly recommend and will use into the future for any HVAC needs we might need.

Trevor was great! We are looking around for estimates to replace our old ductwork (which is 20+ years old). Yesterday, Dragonfly sent Trevor out to do the estimate. Trevor was professional, friendly hard working and seemed very honest. It was almost like talking to a trusted friend. He wasnt in a hurry like many were to get in and out due to the heat (which I understand) but instead he took pride in his work by being thorough. He took pictures of our horrendous ductwork and educated us on our ducts and how they're supposed to be designed for efficiency (which ours are not). It was very refreshing to speak to an honest person working for an honest company. Its unfortunate but its not common. I mean he even offered to paint the covers to our access spaces because they had dirty finger prints. May God bless this company and their employees 🙏🏽

Yesterday on 7/26/24 my A/C completely stop blowing cool air. I immediately called the HVAC company that installed my new A/C in 2018 and was told they couldn’t make it out until Wednesday of next week. Therefore I went on “What’s up Corona” on Facebook to get recommendations on A/C repair. Dragonfly Heating & Cooling was recommended on so many Facebook posts that I went with them. I called and Lori was so helpful/courteous and had me booked for the very next morning. The temp in my home was at 89 and unbearable. This morning the HVAC Tech Josh was on time and diagnosed the problem and immediately fixed it. We had cool air in minutes. I’m one happy customer. Going forward I will call on Dragonfly Heating & Cooling if needed. Thank you

Straight shooters. My new heat pump system was installed professionally and works as advertised. From start to finish, Dragonfly Heating and Cooling did a good job.The diagnosis of my old system was straightforward and all of my options were explained. With the purchase of the new HVAC system, Dragonfly's representative threw in a new Wi-Fi thermostat and a great capacitor.The installation crew was on time, clean and professional. The new heat pump HVAC system was installed like clockwork. The installation manager arrived towards the end to troubleshoot and finish up. It works.Initially the invoice did not specify the system information. Dragonfly then met my documentation needs, to enable rebates from my utility company and on tax returns. Also having the invoice with full information will enable warranty claims, which I hope to never need.In sum, Dragonfly did a very professional job installing the new ACPro heatpump HVAC system. I sincerely appreciate it.
