FAQs
Why is routine HVAC maintenance especially important in Vonore’s climate?
Vonore experiences humid summers, pollen-laden springs, and cool, damp winters. These conditions force your heating and cooling equipment to work hard year-round and can introduce moisture and allergens into your ductwork. Regular maintenance keeps the system clean, prevents corrosion caused by humidity, and ensures components are prepared for rapid seasonal temperature swings, reducing the risk of mid-season breakdowns.
What is included in your routine heating and air-conditioning maintenance visit?
Our certified technicians perform a 20-plus-point inspection that covers both performance and indoor air quality. We clean condenser and evaporator coils, replace or wash air filters, check refrigerant charge, tighten electrical connections, test safety controls, lubricate motors, calibrate the thermostat, inspect the heat exchanger and burner assembly, flush the condensate drain, and measure airflow in key duct runs. We also provide a written report with any recommended repairs or ventilation upgrades.
How often should I schedule maintenance for my HVAC system?
Industry standards—and most manufacturer warranties—call for two service visits per year: once in the spring for cooling equipment and once in the fall for heating equipment. In Vonore, where pollen counts spike in April and humidity peaks in July and August, this twice-annual schedule helps maintain efficiency and keeps indoor air quality high. Homes with pets, smokers, or recent renovations may benefit from quarterly filter checks as well.
Can routine maintenance really improve my indoor air quality?
Yes. A significant portion of airborne dust, pollen, and mold spores circulate through your HVAC system. During maintenance we replace high-efficiency (MERV 8–13) filters, clean coils that can harbor biological growth, and inspect ductwork for leaks that pull in attic or crawl-space contaminants. These steps lower particulate levels, control humidity, and reduce odors, making your home healthier and more comfortable.
Will a maintenance visit lower my energy bills?
A tuned system runs more efficiently. Clean coils exchange heat faster, correct refrigerant levels prevent the compressor from overworking, and lubricated motors draw less amperage. National studies show that well-maintained HVAC units can reduce energy consumption by 10–20 %, which translates to noticeable monthly savings—especially during Vonore’s hot summers when air conditioners run for long cycles.
Do you offer maintenance plans for Vonore homeowners, and what do they cost?
Yes. Our ComfortCare Plan includes two precision tune-ups per year, priority scheduling, a 15 % discount on repairs, and no overtime fees. Plans start at $18 per month for a single heating-and-cooling system; additional systems or whole-house air purifiers can be added at reduced rates. Enrolling locks in your maintenance schedule and keeps manufacturer warranties intact.
