Annual Residential HVAC Maintenance Contracts

We recommend professional maintenance twice a year: once in spring for your cooling system and once in fall for your heating system. This schedule ensures your equipment is properly serviced before the peak seasonal demands. For homes with specialized systems like heat pumps, the maintenance schedule may be adjusted to match your specific equipment needs.

Maintenance plans offer several financial advantages over individual service calls. First, the regular maintenance often costs less per visit than scheduling individual tune-ups. Second, plan members receive discounts on parts and repairs when needed. Third, the preventative nature of regular maintenance helps avoid costly emergency repairs and extends equipment life. Finally, well-maintained systems operate more efficiently, reducing your monthly energy bills.

During a maintenance visit, our technicians perform a comprehensive multi-point inspection and service of your system. This typically includes cleaning or replacing filters, checking electrical connections, lubricating moving parts, inspecting condensate drainage, testing system controls, checking refrigerant levels, examining ductwork, and testing system operation. We'll also check safety components, clean coils and burners as needed, and perform any system-specific maintenance tasks required by your equipment manufacturer.

While savings vary depending on your specific system and usage patterns, our customers typically report energy savings of 10-25% after regular maintenance. Beyond the direct energy savings, the real value comes from avoiding costly emergency repairs (often $500+ per incident) and extending equipment life. Replacing a complete HVAC system can cost $5,000-$10,000, so extending your system's life by several years through regular maintenance represents significant savings.

Our standard maintenance plans include the comprehensive inspection and tune-up service, but repairs for any issues discovered would be additional. However, as a maintenance plan member, you receive priority scheduling and discounted pricing on all repairs. Our premium plans also include coverage for certain repairs and parts replacement. During your maintenance visit, our technician will explain any issues found and provide transparent pricing options before proceeding with any repairs.

Yes, if you're moving within our service area, we can transfer your maintenance plan to your new home. If you're moving outside our service area, you can either transfer the remaining value of your plan to the new homeowners (which can be an attractive selling point) or contact our office about prorated refund options for any unused prepaid maintenance visits.

As a maintenance plan member, you'll receive automatic reminders when it's time for your seasonal tune-ups. You can schedule your visits by phone, through our website, or respond to our reminder email or text. Many of our customers appreciate our flexible scheduling options, including evening and weekend appointments. For the most convenient experience, many customers choose to pre-schedule their spring and fall visits at the beginning of each year.

Yes, most HVAC equipment manufacturers require proof of regular professional maintenance to keep their warranties valid. Without documentation of proper maintenance, warranty claims can be denied if the manufacturer determines that neglect contributed to the system failure. Our maintenance plan includes detailed service records that satisfy manufacturer warranty requirements, protecting your equipment investment and ensuring coverage if warranty claims become necessary.
