Our Cooling System Winterization Services

Comprehensive protection services that shield your cooling system from freeze damage, moisture, pests, and off-season failures.

Pre-Winter System Inspection

Thorough evaluation of your entire cooling system to identify vulnerabilities, worn components, and areas requiring protection before the first freeze. We check refrigerant levels, electrical connections, coil condition, and potential weak points.

Outdoor Unit Protection

Professional covering and sealing of outdoor AC and heat pump units to protect against freezing temperatures, ice buildup, wind damage, and debris accumulation throughout winter months.

Coil & Refrigerant Line Winterization

Specialized treatment to prevent frozen coils and refrigerant line damage. We ensure proper drainage, insulate vulnerable lines, and protect critical components from temperature extremes.

Moisture & Pest Prevention

Complete sealing of openings, removal of standing water, and installation of barriers to prevent rust, corrosion, and pest intrusion during the off-season when systems are vulnerable.

System Documentation & Monitoring

Detailed documentation of your system's pre-winter condition with photos and notes, plus guidance on monitoring your system throughout winter for any concerning changes.

Spring Reactivation Service

Comprehensive inspection, cleaning, and performance testing when you're ready to use your cooling system again. We remove protection, verify proper operation, and ensure peak efficiency for the coming season.
