FAQs
Why is routine HVAC maintenance important in Loudon’s climate?
Loudon experiences hot, humid summers and cool winters, which forces heating and cooling equipment to work year-round. Routine maintenance keeps components clean, properly lubricated, and safely calibrated so the system can handle seasonal extremes without wasting energy or breaking down. It also helps meet manufacturer warranty requirements and local safety codes.
How often should I schedule heating and air conditioning tune-ups?
Industry best practice—and most equipment warranties—recommend two professional tune-ups per year: one in early spring for the air conditioner and one in early fall for the furnace or heat pump’s heating mode. If you have a heat pump that runs in both modes all year, biannual service is still sufficient, but high-usage homes may benefit from quarterly filter checks.
What does a typical maintenance visit include?
During a service call, our certified technicians will: • Inspect and clean indoor and outdoor coils • Replace or clean air filters • Check refrigerant charge and look for leaks • Test electrical connections, capacitors, and controls • Lubricate motors and moving parts • Verify thermostat operation and recalibrate if needed • Test safety devices such as limit switches and carbon-monoxide detectors • Measure airflow, temperature split, and static pressure to ensure optimal performance • Provide a written report with any repair recommendations
Will regular maintenance really lower my energy bills?
Yes. Dirty coils, loose belts, and low refrigerant can drop efficiency by 5–20 percent. After a tune-up, systems cycle on and off correctly, motors run at the designed speed, and airflow is restored—all of which reduce the amount of electricity or gas required to reach the set temperature. Most homeowners in Loudon recoup the cost of maintenance through lower utility bills within one cooling or heating season.
Can maintenance prevent unexpected breakdowns and extend equipment life?
Absolutely. Technicians catch worn parts, weak capacitors, and developing refrigerant leaks before they turn into system-stopping failures on the hottest or coldest days. Studies show that well-maintained HVAC units can last 3–5 years longer than neglected ones, delaying the need for a costly replacement.
How much does routine HVAC maintenance cost and are maintenance plans available?
A single precision tune-up in Loudon typically ranges from $99 to $159, depending on equipment type and accessibility. We also offer annual maintenance agreements starting at about $15 per month. Plans include two seasonal visits, priority scheduling, discounted repair rates, and no overtime fees, which can save homeowners hundreds of dollars over the year while ensuring consistent comfort.
