FAQs
Why is regular air-conditioning maintenance important for homes and businesses in Speedwell?
Speedwell’s mix of hot, humid summers and cool, damp winters causes air-conditioning systems to work hard almost year-round. Scheduled maintenance keeps coils clean, refrigerant levels correct, motors lubricated, and safety controls calibrated. This reduces breakdowns by up to 80 %, preserves manufacturer warranties, cuts energy consumption 10–30 %, and extends system life by several years.
How often should I schedule maintenance for my heating and cooling system?
We recommend two tune-ups per year—one in early spring for the air conditioner and one in early fall for the furnace or heat pump. This timing lets our technicians prepare each part of the system before peak demand and gives you a chance to address any issues while they’re still small and inexpensive.
What does your regular maintenance visit include?
A standard Speedwell AC tune-up covers: • full 20-point inspection • thermostat calibration • replacement or cleaning of air filters • cleaning of condenser and evaporator coils • refrigerant pressure and temperature check • tightening of electrical connections • lubrication of moving parts • condensate drain flush • verification of airflow and static pressure • safety inspection of the furnace or heat strips if part of the same system. You receive a written report with any recommendations.
Will regular maintenance really lower my energy bills?
Yes. Dirty coils or a clogged filter can reduce system efficiency by 5–15 %. During a tune-up, our technicians restore maximum heat-exchange surface area, correct low refrigerant charge, and adjust blower speed for proper airflow. The result is cooler air delivered with less electrical consumption, often saving $15–$40 per month during Speedwell’s hottest periods.
How long does a typical maintenance appointment take, and do I need to be home?
Most residential visits take 60–90 minutes; light-commercial systems may require two to three hours. We just need access to the thermostat, indoor unit, outdoor condenser, and an electrical outlet. Someone over 18 should be present to grant entry and review findings, but if you can’t be on-site we can arrange contact-free service and email the inspection report.
Do you offer maintenance plans, and what benefits do they provide?
Yes. Our ComfortGuard Plan starts at $15 per month and includes two seasonal tune-ups, 10 % off repairs, priority same-day scheduling, no overtime charges, and a transferable agreement if you sell your home. Enrolling in a plan not only spreads out cost but also keeps your warranty valid, as most manufacturers require documented annual professional service.
