Maintenance that is an inspection, not a sales visit.
A real tune-up takes time: coils cleaned, electrical tested, drains cleared and the system measured while it runs. You get a written summary of what we found and nothing you did not ask for.

Scope
What a tune-up includes
The checklist varies with the equipment. This is the core of it.
Filters
Checked and replaced, with the correct size noted.
Coils
Outdoor coil cleaned and indoor coil inspected.
Electrical
Capacitors, contactors and connections tested.
Refrigerant
Operating pressures and temperatures checked against what they should be.
Drain line
Cleared and flushed to prevent leaks.
Heating
Burners, ignition, flame sensor and safeties inspected.
Approach
Why it is worth doing
For multiple units, scheduled visits and written reports, see our preventive maintenance agreements.
- Fewer breakdowns. Most failures we see in summer were visible in spring.
- Lower running cost. Clean coils and correct charge reduce energy use.
- Longer equipment life. Systems that are maintained last years longer.
- Warranty protection. Many manufacturers expect proof of maintenance.
- Safety. Gas heating checked for conditions that should not be left alone.
- No pressure. We report what we find and leave the decisions to you.
Questions
Maintenance & Tune-Ups: common questions
How often should I service my system?
Once a year at minimum. Twice is better: cooling before summer and heating before winter.
Do you offer a discount tune-up special?
No. We do not advertise a low price to get in the door. You get a fair price for a thorough visit.
Will you try to sell me a new system?
Only if yours genuinely needs it, and we will show you why. Otherwise we maintain what you have.
