Frequently Asked Questions

How often should HVAC maintenance be performed?

Twice-yearly service — once before the cooling season and once before the heating season — covers most residential systems adequately. A single annual visit is the minimum; splitting it by season catches wear from each half of the year’s workload before the next peak demand period begins.

What is the difference between HVAC maintenance and a tune-up?

Maintenance is the broader category — it covers inspections, filter changes, cleaning, and safety checks performed on a regular schedule to keep the system running reliably. A tune-up sits within that category as a performance-focused service that calibrates the system, verifies efficiency, and addresses minor adjustments before they become repair calls. Most scheduled maintenance visits include tune-up tasks as a standard component.

Can you service ductless mini-split systems?

Yes. Ductless mini-split maintenance covers indoor air handler cleaning, filter washing, coil inspection, condensate drain clearing, refrigerant level verification, and outdoor unit checks. Each indoor unit requires individual attention — a multi-zone system with four heads involves four separate air handler services in a single visit.

What happens during a furnace maintenance visit?

A furnace maintenance visit covers burner inspection and cleaning, heat exchanger examination for cracks or deterioration, ignitor and flame sensor testing, blower motor condition check, flue and venting inspection, filter replacement, and a carbon monoxide safety test. Any finding outside normal parameters gets communicated before the visit closes.

Do you offer commercial HVAC maintenance?

Yes. Commercial HVAC maintenance covers rooftop units, split systems, make-up air units, exhaust systems, and building automation system integration across facilities of all sizes. Service agreements for commercial accounts include documented inspection reports and priority scheduling for emergency calls.
