FAQs
What services are included in your preventive maintenance plans for heating and air conditioning systems?
Each maintenance visit covers a comprehensive 21-point inspection and tune-up. For air-conditioning we clean the condenser coils, check refrigerant charge, inspect electrical connections, lubricate moving parts, flush the condensate drain, and verify thermostat calibration. For furnaces and heat pumps we test safety controls, inspect the heat exchanger, clean the burners, tighten gas or electrical connections, and check airflow and static pressure. Before we leave you receive a written report showing system performance readings and any recommendations.
How often should I have my HVAC equipment serviced in Collegedale?
We recommend two visits per year—one cooling tune-up in the spring and one heating tune-up in the fall. Collegedale’s hot, humid summers and occasionally freezing winters put stress on equipment at both ends of the temperature scale, so biannual service keeps components clean, lubricated, and operating safely before the heavy-use seasons arrive.
Why enroll in a preventive maintenance plan instead of waiting until something breaks?
Regular maintenance catches small issues—such as loose wiring or a low refrigerant level—before they escalate into expensive breakdowns. A tuned system uses 10-15 % less energy, runs quieter, and lasts several years longer than neglected equipment. Plan members also receive priority scheduling and discounts on any repairs, which means faster service and lower costs if a failure does occur.
Will a maintenance plan really lower my energy bills?
Yes. Dirty coils, clogged filters, and unbalanced airflow force your system to run longer to reach the set temperature. After a professional cleaning and calibration, most customers see a 5–20 % reduction in monthly utility bills. In Collegedale, where both cooling and heating expenses can be high, those savings often offset the entire cost of the plan.
What if the technician finds a problem during a maintenance visit?
We will explain the issue, show you the affected part, and provide upfront pricing options. Plan members receive a 15 % discount on repair labor and parts, and many common components are stocked on the truck for same-day fixes. If you approve the work, we complete it immediately; if you prefer to wait, we document the condition so you can make an informed decision.
Is preventive maintenance worthwhile if my HVAC system is only a few years old?
Absolutely. Most manufacturers require documented annual maintenance to keep the warranty valid. Early service maintains peak efficiency, prevents premature wear, and establishes a performance baseline that helps us spot deviations later. Investing in routine care from year one can add 3–5 years to the lifespan of a modern system and reduce the likelihood of an unexpected heat or AC outage.
