Why regular maintenance matters
Routine service helps prevent unexpected breakdowns, extends equipment life and keeps energy bills reasonable. A well-serviced unit operates more safely and reliably through extreme summer and winter conditions.
What our maintenance includes
Each maintenance visit follows a clear checklist that focuses on system performance, safety and efficiency. Technicians start with a full visual inspection, move to system diagnostics, confirm airflow and complete any minor adjustments. Common steps include:
- System start-up and shutdown verification
- Filter check and replacement if needed
- Thermostat calibration and settings review
- Inspection of electrical connections and controls
- Lubrication of moving parts where applicable
- Inspection of condensate lines and drainage
- Combustion and venting checks for gas-fired equipment
- Refrigerant level and pressure checks on cooling systems
Annual plans and scheduling
We offer scheduled plans to keep equipment operating reliably. Plans include priority scheduling, discounted diagnostic rates and recommended seasonal check-ups. Scheduling ahead of peak months ensures timely service when demand is high.
Safety and compliance
Technicians perform safety inspections that include gas leak detection, carbon monoxide checks for combustion equipment, and confirmation that venting clearances meet local code. We document findings and recommend corrective actions when necessary.
Practical energy-saving checks
Small adjustments can reduce energy consumption. During maintenance we check airflow, replace or recommend the right filter type, ensure thermostat settings are appropriate, and verify that the outdoor unit is unobstructed. These steps help maintain the system’s rated efficiency.
Service for older systems
Older equipment often benefits from more frequent attention. Our technicians will identify worn parts, evaluate risk of failure, and recommend repair or replacement options. When replacement is recommended, we provide clear options and cost estimates so you can make an informed decision.
One-time visit or ongoing support
We provide one-time maintenance visits as well as annual agreements. For homeowners who prefer hands-off management, an annual agreement ensures two seasonal inspections and priority response during the year.
How to prepare for a visit
To help the technician complete a thorough check, please ensure access to the furnace, air handler or outdoor condensing unit and clear any obstructions around vents. If you have pets, securing them during the visit helps keep the work area safe.

Frequently asked questions
How often should I schedule maintenance? Most manufacturers recommend at least once a year for heating systems and once a year for cooling systems; splitting checks between spring (cooling) and fall (heating) is a practical approach.
Can maintenance prevent emergency breakdowns? Regular maintenance reduces the likelihood of unexpected failures but cannot eliminate all risk. It lowers the chance of costly mid-season repairs by addressing wear and small issues early.
Do you service systems from other installers? Yes. We maintain and repair equipment from all major manufacturers and will note any manufacturer-specific requirements when present.
