FAQs
How often should I schedule routine HVAC maintenance for my home in Petros?
Most manufacturers and industry experts recommend servicing your heating and cooling equipment at least once a year—ideally a furnace or boiler tune-up in early fall and an air-conditioning check in early spring. If your system sees heavy use, has a history of issues, or you have pets or allergies, twice-a-year maintenance is strongly advised.
What does a standard maintenance visit from your Petros team include?
Our routine visit covers a 20- to 30-point inspection: cleaning or replacing air filters, checking refrigerant levels, tightening electrical connections, calibrating thermostats, examining heat exchangers for cracks, clearing condensate drains, lubricating moving parts, testing system safety controls, measuring airflow, and verifying the overall efficiency of your ventilation and air-quality components.
Why is routine maintenance important for indoor air quality as well as comfort?
A well-maintained HVAC system not only heats and cools efficiently, it also removes excess humidity, filters out allergens, and ensures that fresh outdoor air is properly exchanged with indoor air. Dirty coils, clogged filters, or poor ventilation can allow dust, mold spores, and VOCs to circulate, potentially aggravating allergies or respiratory issues. Regular service keeps filtration and ventilation components functioning as designed.
Will maintenance lower my energy bills?
Yes. Cleaning coils, replacing filters, and verifying refrigerant charge can improve efficiency by 10–40 %, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. That translates to noticeable savings on monthly utility bills, especially during Petros’s hot summers and cold winters when HVAC systems run the hardest.
How long does a typical maintenance appointment take and do I need to be home?
Most tune-ups take 60–90 minutes per system. We ask that an adult be present to grant access, discuss any recent performance concerns, and review post-service recommendations. If you can’t be home, we can arrange secure access ahead of time and leave a detailed digital report summarizing findings.
What are the signs I should call for service sooner than my regular maintenance interval?
Contact us right away if you notice weak airflow, uneven temperatures, unusual noises or odors, frequent cycling on and off, spikes in your energy bill, or increased dust and humidity in the home. These symptoms often point to issues that, if addressed promptly, prevent costly breakdowns and preserve indoor air quality.
