FAQs
How often should I schedule routine maintenance for my heating and air-conditioning system in New Market?
For most homes in New Market, we recommend professional maintenance twice a year—once in the spring for your air-conditioning unit and once in the fall for your heating system. Biannual service ensures peak efficiency before the heavy-use seasons, helps prevent unexpected breakdowns, and keeps most manufacturers’ warranties valid.
What does a typical maintenance visit include?
During a routine maintenance visit, our certified technicians will: 1) Inspect and clean burners, heat exchangers, coils, and blower assemblies; 2) Check refrigerant levels, air-flow, and thermostat calibration; 3) Tighten electrical connections and test safety controls; 4) Lubricate moving parts to reduce wear; 5) Replace or clean air filters; and 6) Provide a detailed report of current system performance and any recommended repairs.
How can regular maintenance help lower my energy bills?
A well-maintained HVAC system operates more efficiently, using less energy to reach the same comfort level. Cleaning coils and filters improves air flow, calibrating the thermostat prevents short cycling, and verifying refrigerant charge ensures optimal heat transfer. These steps can reduce energy consumption by 10–20%, which is especially noticeable during New Market’s hot summers and chilly winters.
What signs indicate I may need heat repair rather than just maintenance?
Call for heat repair if you notice any of the following: no warm air or uneven temperatures, unusual noises (grinding, banging), a persistent burning smell, frequent cycling on and off, a sudden spike in utility bills, or the furnace failing to start. These symptoms often point to mechanical or electrical failures that require immediate professional attention.
Will routine maintenance keep my manufacturer’s warranty intact?
Yes. Most HVAC manufacturers stipulate proof of regular professional maintenance as a condition of their parts warranty. Our maintenance records, which you’ll receive after every visit, serve as official documentation to protect your warranty coverage in case major components fail during the warranty period.
How much does routine maintenance cost and are there any savings plans?
A standard single-system tune-up in New Market typically ranges from $89 to $149, depending on system size and age. We also offer an annual maintenance plan starting around $15 per month, which includes two precision tune-ups, priority scheduling, discounted parts and labor on repairs, and no overtime fees. The plan often pays for itself through lower energy bills and extended equipment life.
