HVAC Services & Maintenance

Residential Maintenance Service

Residential Maintenance Service is a must to ensure that your heating and AC continue to function. Maybe you are beginning your search for an HVAC service company to perform preventative maintenance? There’s a chance that you’re not clear about everything a residential preventive maintenance program includes. If you already have a preventative maintenance contract, you could be out in the cold about whether you and your neighbors are getting the same value and service!

That’s where an HVAC preventative maintenance checklist comes in handy.

While preventative maintenance agreements can differ, the most important thing is that you’re getting what you signed up and paid for.
First, let’s look at a checklist covering tasks typically included in the preventative maintenance (PM) agreement. You can use this checklist when comparing companies and prices.

1. Now that you know some of the basics covered under preventative maintenance contracts, you can begin the conversation with a few different HVAC service companies.

2. You don’t have to get locked into a one-size-fits-all agreement. Look for a company that adjusts your HVAC preventative maintenance contract based on your needs, equipment, and budget.

3. Contract terms can differ significantly. You might limit the annual HVAC maintenance tasks on one system, such as AC. You might choose a quarterly maintenance program. That option works best when you need more frequent service to change filters in tough-to-reach places and clean coils. Often an additional appointment is required around June for coil cleaning on outdoor units in areas with many Cottonwood trees.

4. Twice-annual preventative maintenance is our number one seller! It’s wise to schedule these visits in the spring and fall before the peak air conditioning and heat seasons.
