FAQs
Why is a seasonal HVAC tune-up important for homes in Jefferson City?
Jefferson City experiences hot, humid summers and chilly winter nights, which means your air conditioner and furnace work hard for much of the year. A professional tune-up catches wear-and-tear early, keeps components clean, verifies safe operation, and restores factory-level efficiency. The result is fewer unexpected breakdowns, lower monthly utility costs, better indoor comfort, and protection of any manufacturer warranties that require documented maintenance.
What is included in your seasonal tune-up service?
Our comprehensive checklist covers more than 25 inspection and adjustment points: • Clean or replace standard air filter • Wash condenser and evaporator coils • Check refrigerant level and look for leaks • Tighten electrical connections and test capacitors • Lubricate motors and bearings • Measure airflow and static pressure • Inspect heat exchanger for cracks and test carbon-monoxide levels • Verify gas pressure and burner operation (furnace) • Calibrate thermostat and test safety controls • Inspect condensate drain and clear clogs • Document all findings and provide a written health report with recommendations. This service applies to both the air-conditioning and heating sections of split or packaged systems.
How often should I schedule maintenance for my heating and cooling system?
We recommend two visits per year: a spring tune-up before the cooling season and a fall tune-up before the heating season. If you have a heat pump that runs year-round, the dual visit schedule is still ideal. Regular service every six months keeps efficiency high, ensures safe combustion through the winter, and allows us to address refrigerant or airflow issues before summer heat waves arrive.
Will a tune-up really lower my energy bills?
Yes. Dirty coils, loose electrical connections, and low refrigerant levels can force equipment to run 10–20% longer to reach the same temperature. After cleaning and calibration, most customers see a noticeable drop in kilowatt-hour and natural-gas usage. In many cases, the savings over the course of the season offset most—if not all—of the tune-up cost, while also extending the lifespan of expensive components such as compressors and heat exchangers.
How long does an appointment take and do I need to be home?
A standard residential tune-up in Jefferson City takes about 60–90 minutes per system. Having an adult on site is required so we can access the thermostat, indoor air handler, electrical panel, and any locked outdoor areas. We’ll need pets secured for everyone’s safety. At the end of the visit, our technician reviews the inspection report with you and answers questions before departing.
Do you offer any guarantees or warranties with the tune-up?
Absolutely. We stand behind our work with a 100% satisfaction guarantee: if you’re not happy with the service, we’ll make it right. In addition, every tune-up comes with a 30-day "no breakdown" promise—if the system we serviced fails for a reason we should have caught, we’ll waive the diagnostic fee. All replacement parts we install carry the manufacturer’s warranty, and labor on those parts is covered for one year.
