FAQs
Why is preventative maintenance for my heating and air system important in Greeneville?
Greeneville experiences hot, humid summers and chilly winters, which means your HVAC system works hard year-round. Preventative maintenance keeps components clean, lubricated, and calibrated so they can handle temperature swings without unexpected breakdowns. Routine tune-ups can improve energy efficiency by up to 20 %, extend equipment life, help you stay in compliance with manufacturer warranties, and reduce the likelihood of costly emergency repairs during the peak heating season.
How often should I schedule HVAC maintenance or a heating tune-up?
We recommend two service visits per year—one in spring for your cooling equipment and one in fall for your furnace or heat pump. For homes with older systems, pets, or occupants with allergies, quarterly filter checks and an additional mid-season inspection can provide extra protection. Signing up for a maintenance agreement makes scheduling easy and locks in preferred pricing.
What is included in your preventative maintenance visit?
During a standard Greeneville maintenance appointment, our NATE-certified technician will: • Inspect heat exchanger, burners, ignition system, and safety controls • Clean or replace air filters and clear condensate drains • Test refrigerant charge and look for leaks (heat pumps) • Tighten electrical connections and measure voltage/amperage • Lubricate moving parts and check fan motor bearings • Calibrate thermostat and measure temperature rise • Verify system start-up and shutdown cycles • Provide a detailed report with any repair recommendations so you can address small issues before they become major failures.
How do I know if I need a repair instead of routine maintenance?
Maintenance is preventative, but certain warning signs indicate a repair is needed: strange noises (grinding, banging), weak or no airflow, sudden spikes in energy bills, burning or musty odors, frequent cycling, and any system that won’t turn on. If you notice these symptoms, call us right away—our local technicians can often diagnose and fix the problem on the same visit, restoring safe, efficient heat.
Do you work on all brands and types of heating equipment?
Yes. Our team services gas furnaces, electric furnaces, dual-fuel and geothermal heat pumps, ductless mini-splits, and packaged rooftop units from every major manufacturer—Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, York, and more. We arrive with a fully stocked service vehicle, so most repairs can be completed without waiting for parts to be ordered.
Can preventative maintenance really save me money?
Absolutely. A clean, properly calibrated system doesn’t have to run as long to reach the desired temperature, which lowers monthly utility costs. Industry studies show that every dollar spent on preventative maintenance can save three to five dollars in avoided repairs and energy waste. When you factor in extended equipment lifespan and preserved manufacturer warranties, maintenance is one of the most cost-effective home investments you can make.
