Spring and fall
Maintenance & Tune-Ups
A real tune-up, twice a year, with the readings written down. Most of the emergency calls we take were preventable in about forty minutes.
The visit that stops the July phone call.
A tune-up has become a loss-leader in this industry — a technician arrives, changes a filter, hoses the condenser and spends the rest of the visit looking for something to sell.
Ours takes about an hour per system because it involves actual measurement, and the technician doing it is not paid a commission on what they find. You get the readings on paper, including the ones that are fine.
- Refrigerant charge verified by superheat and subcooling, not by feel
- Compressor and fan motor amp draw against nameplate
- Capacitor tested and the microfarad reading recorded
- Static pressure across the system, which nobody else seems to measure
- Coil condition, condensate drain flushed, float switch tested
- Heat exchanger inspection and combustion check on the fall visit
- Electrical connections torqued, contactor and relays inspected
- A written report with every number, including the good ones
What maintenance is honestly worth
We are not going to claim it makes a system last forever. Here is what it actually does.
It catches the cheap failures early
A capacitor drifting out of tolerance is a $190 part in April and a compressor in July. That is most of the value right there.
It keeps the warranty alive
Most manufacturers require documented annual maintenance. When a claim gets denied, this is usually why.
It finds the airflow problems
Static pressure is measured on every visit, so a duct problem gets found before it costs you a coil.
It is not a sales appointment
Technicians here are not paid on what they sell. If everything is fine, the report says everything is fine, and we leave.
How this is priced
- In writing before anything starts
- Readings left with you, on paper
- Nobody paid a percentage of the invoice
Priced per system per visit, or covered by the maintenance plan along with priority scheduling and repair discounts. The plan works out cheaper than two individual visits, which is the point of it.
Answers before you have to call and ask
If you have both cooling and heating, yes — they are different systems sharing a blower, and the checks are different. A heat pump genuinely does need both, since it runs year round.
You get told, with the reading and the price, and you decide. Nothing gets repaired on a maintenance visit without you saying so first.
You can, but most manufacturers require documented maintenance to keep the parts warranty valid. Skipping it on a new system is the version of this that costs the most.
Emergency service
No cooling. No heat. No answer anywhere else.
The after-hours line rings a dispatcher who can see where every van is, not a message service.
Seven days, including evenings
