FAQs
How often should I schedule routine HVAC maintenance in Tracy City?
For most homes in Tracy City, we recommend two maintenance visits per year—one in the spring for your air conditioner and one in the fall for your furnace or heat pump. This timing prepares each system for peak-season demand, helps catch small issues early, and keeps manufacturer warranties valid.
What does a routine maintenance visit include?
Our comprehensive tune-ups cover: 1) inspecting and cleaning coils, burners, and heat exchangers, 2) checking refrigerant charge and testing for leaks, 3) tightening electrical connections and measuring voltage/amperage, 4) lubricating moving parts, 5) calibrating thermostats, 6) replacing or cleaning standard filters, and 7) verifying overall system safety and efficiency. A written report with any recommended repairs is provided before we leave.
Why is preventive maintenance important for my heating and cooling equipment?
Regular maintenance improves energy efficiency by up to 20 %, reduces the risk of mid-season breakdowns, extends equipment life, maintains comfortable indoor temperatures, and keeps indoor air quality high. In many cases, routine service costs less than the extra energy and repair bills caused by neglected systems.
Will maintenance help me avoid voiding my manufacturer warranty?
Yes. Nearly all HVAC manufacturers require proof of annual professional service to honor parts warranties. Our technicians document each visit and provide digital receipts you can use as evidence if a warranty claim ever becomes necessary.
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 recommend that an adult be present to grant access, discuss any comfort concerns, and review our findings. However, if you can’t be home, we can arrange contactless service with advance authorization and provide a full electronic report afterward.
What are the costs and are there any discounts available?
A single‐visit tune-up starts at $99 per system, but most Tracy City homeowners save more with our Comfort Club maintenance plan. For a low monthly fee, members receive two annual tune-ups, priority scheduling, 15 % off repairs, and no overtime charges. Seniors, veterans, and first-responders receive an additional 10 % discount.
