FAQs
Why is proactive HVAC maintenance especially important in Greeneville’s climate?
Greeneville experiences humid summers, cool winters, and a long pollen season due to its foothills location. These conditions make heating, cooling, and filtration systems work harder than average. Scheduled tune-ups and cleanings prevent seasonal spikes in energy use, reduce the risk of breakdowns during temperature extremes, and keep filters and coils clear of pollen, dust, and mold common to East Tennessee.
How often should I schedule maintenance for my furnace, air conditioner, and ventilation system?
We recommend two precision inspections per year—one in early spring for the air conditioner and one in early fall for the furnace or heat pump. Ventilation and whole-house air quality components (HRVs/ERVs, humidifiers, dehumidifiers, UV lights, and high-MERV or HEPA filters) should be checked at least annually, though high-efficiency filters may need replacement every 3–6 months in Greeneville’s high-pollen periods.
What is included in your proactive maintenance visit?
Each visit covers 20+ checkpoints: • Calibrate thermostat and verify proper cycling • Inspect, clean, and tighten electrical connections • Test capacitors, relays, and safety controls • Measure refrigerant charge and superheat/subcool • Clean outdoor condenser coils and indoor evaporator coil (as accessible) • Lubricate motors and bearings • Clear condensate drain and treat for algae • Replace or wash air filters (customer-supplied or purchased on-site) • Verify blower wheel balance and airflow • Inspect ductwork for leaks • Check gas pressure, heat exchanger, and ignition (furnace) • Examine ventilation fans, HRV/ERV cores, and UV lamps • Provide a written efficiency and IAQ report with any recommendations.
How does proactive maintenance improve indoor air quality (IAQ)?
A clean, well-tuned system traps and removes airborne contaminants more effectively. During maintenance we ensure filters fit snugly, ducts are sealed, blower speeds are correct, and humidity-control accessories are functioning. These steps reduce pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and volatile organic compounds that tend to accumulate in Greeneville homes, helping alleviate allergies and respiratory issues.
Can regular maintenance really lower my energy bills?
Yes. Dirty coils, clogged filters, and low refrigerant can raise operating costs by 10–30%. Properly charged refrigerant, clean heat-transfer surfaces, and optimized airflow restore factory efficiency. Our Greeneville customers typically see 5–15% savings after a tune-up, which often offsets the maintenance plan fee within the first season.
What does your Greeneville Maintenance Plan cost and what perks does it include?
Plans start around $15–20 per month for most single-family homes. Membership includes two seasonal inspections, standard 1" pleated filter replacements, priority scheduling, a 10% parts and labor discount, no after-hours diagnostic fees, and a transferable agreement if you sell your home—adding value and peace of mind for future buyers.
