If coils are visibly dusty, start by turning off power to the system. After removing the access panel, loose debris can be gently brushed away using a soft brush or manufacturer-approved coil cleaner. Care must be taken to avoid bending fins, damaging wiring, or forcing debris deeper into the unit.
Evaporator coils sit deep inside the air handler, and surface cleaning often doesn’t address buildup between fins or underlying airflow issues. DIY cleaning can also miss problems like restricted drainage, hidden corrosion, or refrigerant-related concerns that affect performance.
Professional air handler maintenance includes thorough coil cleaning, airflow testing, and system inspection to ensure efficiency and safe operation. This level of service helps restore proper cooling, reduce system strain, and prevent long-term damage caused by dirty or restricted coils.
Done! provides professional air handler maintenance to fully clean coils, restore airflow, and protect overall system efficiency.ly clean coils, restore airflow, and protect your system’s efficiency.
An AHU typically contains key components such as the blower motor, evaporator coils, air filter, and controls. Together, these parts circulate air, support cooling performance, and help maintain indoor air quality by filtering and conditioning the air before it reaches living spaces.
The air handling unit works with the outdoor AC unit to deliver cooled air throughout the home. If the AHU is not functioning properly, issues like weak airflow, uneven temperatures, or reduced efficiency can occur even if the outdoor unit is running.
Problems such as unusual noises, poor airflow, moisture issues, or inconsistent cooling often point to an issue within the air handler. Professional inspection and maintenance help ensure the AHU is operating safely, efficiently, and in coordination with the rest of the system.
Done! provides diagnostics, maintenance, and repairs for air handling units to restore proper airflow and reliable cooling performance.
The cost to service a furnace depends on the type of system, its age and condition, and whether the visit is a one-time tune-up or part of a maintenance plan. Regular service typically includes a full system inspection, cleaning, and performance adjustments to help keep your furnace running safely and efficiently.

A furnace tune up is designed to keep your heating system operating safely, efficiently, and reliably. During a professional tune up, key components are inspected, cleaned, and adjusted to help prevent unexpected issues and improve overall performance.
At Done, furnace tune ups go beyond the basics. Our technicians check airflow, clean burners, test electrical components, and make sure your system is prepared for Denver’s winter weather. Regular maintenance can help extend the life of your furnace and reduce the risk of surprise breakdowns when you need heat most.
Cleaning a furnace typically involves removing dust and debris from internal components, inspecting burners, checking the flame sensor, and ensuring the blower and airflow system are working properly. Replacing or cleaning the air filter is one of the most common maintenance steps homeowners can do on their own.
However, deeper furnace cleaning also requires important safety checks that are easy to miss without professional training. Done Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric offers thorough furnace maintenance across the Denver metro area, helping your system run efficiently, safely, and at peak performance throughout the heating season.
AC services typically include installation, repair, replacement, and routine maintenance for residential cooling systems. The goal is to keep your air conditioner running efficiently, address problems early, and ensure reliable cooling when temperatures rise.
AC Installation or Replacement
If your current system is outdated, inefficient, or no longer repairable, AC service may include replacing it with a new unit. Installation can also apply to new homes, additions, or system upgrades such as zoning to improve comfort in different areas of the house.
AC Repair
AC repair addresses issues like poor cooling, unusual noises, frequent cycling, or systems that won’t turn on. A technician diagnoses the cause, explains what’s failing, and restores proper operation before further damage occurs.
AC Maintenance
Routine AC maintenance focuses on prevention. This typically includes a full system inspection, cleaning critical components, checking refrigerant levels, testing performance, and identifying small issues that are easier to fix before peak cooling season. Annual maintenance helps reduce breakdowns, improve efficiency, and extend system life.
Homeowners can take care of simple upkeep, such as changing the air filter regularly, keeping debris clear around the outdoor unit, and gently rinsing the exterior of the condenser to remove surface dirt. These steps help support airflow and basic efficiency.
Professional AC service goes beyond surface-level maintenance. Technicians inspect electrical components, test system performance, check refrigerant operation, clean internal coils, and look for issues that are not visible from the outside. These tasks require specialized tools and training to complete safely and correctly.
Attempting deeper repairs or internal cleaning without proper training can lead to damaged components, reduced efficiency, or safety hazards. Refrigerant handling and electrical work, in particular, should always be left to licensed professionals.
Done! recommends professional AC maintenance to ensure the entire system is properly cleaned, tested, and evaluated. Routine professional service helps protect system performance, safety, and long-term reliability.
Annual AC service helps ensure your system is ready to handle warmer weather and sustained use. During a professional maintenance visit, technicians inspect critical components, check refrigerant performance, clean coils, test airflow, and look for early signs of wear that could lead to breakdowns.
Air conditioners that run without regular maintenance are more likely to lose efficiency over time, use more energy, and experience unexpected problems when demand is highest. Yearly service helps keep cooling consistent while reducing strain on the system.
While one annual service is enough for most homes, systems that are older, heavily used, or have had past repairs may benefit from closer monitoring. Preventive maintenance allows issues to be addressed early, often avoiding more disruptive and expensive repairs later.
Done! recommends annual AC maintenance as a practical way to protect your cooling system, extend its lifespan, and reduce the risk of mid-season failures. For homeowners who want maintenance handled automatically, the Care Club helps keep service on schedule year after year.
Basic AC maintenance, such as inspections, cleaning, and performance testing, is typically the most affordable type of service. These visits are designed to keep the system running efficiently and catch issues early, before repairs are needed.
Repair costs can vary more widely. Problems involving refrigerant levels, electrical components, motors, or control systems generally require more time and specialized work, which can increase the overall cost. The age of the system and availability of replacement parts can also affect pricing.
In some cases, service may reveal that an older or frequently repaired system is no longer cost-effective to maintain. When that happens, replacement options may be discussed so homeowners can compare short-term repair costs with long-term reliability and efficiency.
Done! provides clear, upfront pricing for AC services so homeowners understand their options before any work begins. This approach allows informed decisions based on system condition, comfort needs, and budget, without surprises.
AC maintenance typically involves a full system inspection, cleaning critical components, testing performance, and checking refrigerant levels and electrical connections. The goal is to keep the system running efficiently and identify potential issues before they lead to breakdowns.
Routine maintenance is recommended for most homes, including single-family houses, condos, and townhomes. Regular service helps reduce unexpected repairs, improve energy efficiency, and support reliable cooling during peak summer months.
Having AC maintenance performed by a local provider ensures the system is evaluated with regional climate demands in mind. Consistent service helps systems handle extended run times and temperature swings common during the cooling season.
