Air Conditioning & Heating Maintenance
Our maintenance services help a unit to operate more efficiently and last longer. We recommend two services each year: an air conditioning tune-up in the spring and a heating tune-up in the fall. Our heating maintenance service is available on both furnaces and heat pumps, depending on your unit. Whether you have an air conditioner or air handler, we’ll perform comprehensive services on your unit. Here is a brief overview of what we do during our service calls:
- Inspect coils, drains & motors
- Adjust & test blower & safety controls
- Tighten electrical connections
- Check refrigerant level & pressure
- Check for refrigerant leaks
- Inspect venting, flue & condensation pump
Our goal with a maintenance tune-up is that your unit operates safely, efficiently and without issue for the coming season. If you’d like a complete list of what a maintenance call includes, call our office and we’ll share a comprehensive list based on the type of unit and season.
