FAQs
Why is regular HVAC maintenance important in Mulberry’s climate?
Mulberry experiences hot, humid summers and mild, occasionally chilly winters. These conditions force your HVAC system to work almost year-round. Regular maintenance keeps coils clean, refrigerant levels correct, electrical connections tight, and airflow unrestricted, so the equipment can handle high humidity and temperature swings without breaking down. A well-maintained system also prevents mold growth in the air handler, maintains indoor air quality, and complies with most manufacturers’ warranty requirements.
What does a typical maintenance visit include?
Our comprehensive tune-up covers more than 20 checkpoints. We inspect and clean condenser and evaporator coils, replace or wash filters, test thermostat calibration, check refrigerant charge, clear condensate drains, tighten electrical connections, lubricate moving parts, measure voltage and amperage, test safety controls, and verify proper airflow and temperature split. For gas furnaces, we also inspect the heat exchanger, burners, ignition system, and flue draft. Afterward, you receive a written report with any recommendations so you know exactly how your equipment is performing.
How often should I schedule HVAC maintenance?
In Mulberry’s climate we recommend two tune-ups per year—one in spring before cooling season and one in fall before heating season. Cooling components need pre-summer attention to handle long, humid days, while heating parts (whether heat pump or furnace) benefit from a pre-winter check to ensure safe, efficient operation. If you use a heat pump for both heating and cooling, biannual service is still best because the same components run nearly all year.
Can routine maintenance really lower my energy bills and extend equipment life?
Yes. Dirty coils, clogged filters, and low refrigerant can reduce efficiency by 10-30%, meaning higher utility costs. A tuned system cycles less frequently, draws fewer amps, and maintains set temperatures faster, all of which cut energy use. Preventive maintenance also catches small issues—worn capacitors, loose wires, leaking condensate pans—before they cause costly compressor or motor failures. Systems that receive regular care often last 2-5 years longer than neglected units, delaying the expense of replacement.
Do you offer maintenance plans and what are the benefits?
We provide a Preferred Customer Maintenance Agreement that includes two precision tune-ups per year, priority same-day service, a 10% discount on repairs, no overtime fees, and transferable coverage if you sell your home. Members also receive email or text reminders so you never miss a visit. The plan spreads the cost into affordable monthly payments and locks in today’s rate for the life of the agreement.
What signs mean I should call for service right away instead of waiting for my next tune-up?
Call us immediately if you notice warm air blowing in cooling mode, ice on the refrigerant lines, tripped breakers, burning or musty odors, unusually high utility bills, loud grinding or screeching noises, short cycling, water pooling around the indoor unit, or error codes on the thermostat. These symptoms can indicate low refrigerant, compressor failure, electrical hazards, or drainage problems that could damage your home or equipment if not addressed promptly.
