HVAC Maintenance

Regular HVAC maintenance is the best investment you can make in your home's comfort and efficiency. A well-maintained system runs more efficiently, breaks down less often, lasts longer, and keeps your energy bills in check. Our comprehensive HVAC maintenance service covers both your heating and cooling systems in one visit.

During a maintenance visit, we perform a complete inspection and tune-up of your HVAC system. For the cooling side, this includes cleaning condenser coils, checking refrigerant levels, testing electrical components, inspecting the condensate drain, and verifying proper airflow. For the heating side, we inspect the heat exchanger, test ignition systems, check gas pressures (on gas furnaces), verify safety controls, and ensure proper combustion.

We also address items that affect both systems: replacing air filters, testing the thermostat, inspecting ductwork for obvious issues, lubricating moving parts, and checking overall system operation. After the service, we provide a detailed report of our findings including any items that may need attention in the future.

Many manufacturers require regular professional maintenance to keep equipment warranties valid. Our maintenance visits create a documented service history that protects your warranty coverage. We also catch small problems before they become expensive repairs—a $15 capacitor replaced during maintenance costs far less than an emergency repair visit when it fails on a hot summer day.

We recommend scheduling maintenance twice a year: once in spring before cooling season and once in fall before heating season. However, if twice-yearly visits aren't in the budget, a single annual visit in spring catches the system before both seasons and provides significant benefits.
