FAQs
Why is routine HVAC maintenance so important in Signal Mountain’s climate?
Signal Mountain experiences humid summers and chilly winters, which means your HVAC system works hard year-round. Routine maintenance keeps components clean, lubricated, and properly adjusted so the system can handle seasonal temperature swings without straining. This not only reduces the chance of unexpected breakdowns during extreme weather but also improves energy efficiency and indoor comfort.
What does your routine maintenance visit include?
Our comprehensive tune-up covers both heating and cooling equipment. We clean or replace air filters, wash condenser and evaporator coils, tighten electrical connections, check refrigerant levels, lubricate moving parts, test safety controls, calibrate the thermostat, inspect ductwork for leaks, and verify system airflow. Afterward, you receive a written report detailing findings and any recommended repairs.
How often should I schedule HVAC maintenance?
We recommend two visits per year: an A/C tune-up in early spring before the summer heat and a furnace or heat-pump tune-up in early fall before the cold sets in. Biannual service keeps each part of your system prepared for the season ahead and helps you stay compliant with most manufacturer warranty requirements.
Will regular maintenance really lower my energy bills?
Yes. Dirty coils, clogged filters, and low refrigerant levels force the system to run longer to reach the set temperature, which drives up power consumption. A well-maintained unit can operate up to 15% more efficiently, translating into noticeable savings on your monthly electric bill—especially during Signal Mountain’s peak heating and cooling months.
Can routine maintenance help me avoid emergency repairs?
Absolutely. During a tune-up, our technicians spot worn belts, loose wiring, failing capacitors, or low refrigerant before they turn into major malfunctions. Addressing these small issues proactively is far less expensive—and far less stressful—than dealing with a no-heat call on a freezing January night or a cooling failure in July.
Is maintenance required to keep my manufacturer warranty valid?
Most HVAC manufacturers specify regular professional maintenance as a condition of their parts warranty. Skipping annual service could void that coverage, leaving you responsible for the full cost of major components. By documenting your twice-a-year tune-ups with us, you keep the warranty intact and protect your investment.
