FAQs
How often should I schedule routine HVAC maintenance in Sequatchie?
For most homes in Sequatchie’s mixed-humid climate, we recommend professional maintenance twice a year—once in the spring for your air conditioner and once in the fall for your furnace or heat pump. This timing prepares each system for its heaviest workload and helps you avoid unexpected breakdowns during extreme weather.
What does a typical maintenance visit include?
Our certified technicians perform a comprehensive 20-plus-point inspection. This covers cleaning or replacing air filters, checking refrigerant levels, inspecting electrical connections, testing safety controls, lubricating moving parts, calibrating the thermostat, cleaning condensate drains, and verifying overall system performance. We also provide a written report of findings and recommendations.
Why is preventive maintenance important for my heating and cooling system?
Regular tune-ups improve energy efficiency by up to 15%, extend equipment life, keep warranties valid, reduce the risk of costly emergency repairs, and maintain healthy indoor air quality. Considering Sequatchie’s hot, humid summers and chilly winters, a well-maintained system keeps your home comfortable year-round and lowers utility bills.
Can I perform any maintenance tasks myself between professional visits?
Yes. Replace or clean your air filter every 30–60 days, keep supply and return vents clear, trim vegetation at least two feet away from the outdoor condenser, and hose off debris on the condenser fins (power off first). Also, check your thermostat batteries annually. Leave refrigerant handling, electrical checks, and deep cleanings to licensed professionals for safety and warranty protection.
How long does a maintenance appointment take and do I need to be home?
A standard service visit lasts 60–90 minutes per system. We ask that an adult be present to provide access and discuss any concerns. If you can’t be home, arrange entry in advance, and our technician will leave a detailed service report and photos of completed work.
Is a maintenance plan worth the investment?
Absolutely. Our Sequatchie Comfort Club members receive two precision tune-ups per year, priority scheduling, 10% off repairs, and no overtime fees—all for less than the cost of one emergency service call. The energy savings and extended equipment life typically offset the plan’s price within the first year.
