About AC Maintenance

Regular AC maintenance is the key to reliable cooling, lower energy bills, and a longer-lasting system. Our preventive maintenance services include comprehensive inspections, cleaning, and tune-ups that keep your air conditioner running at peak performance throughout the cooling season. A typical maintenance visit includes checking refrigerant levels, cleaning condenser and evaporator coils, inspecting electrical connections, lubricating moving parts, checking thermostat operation, inspecting ductwork, testing safety controls, and measuring airflow and temperature differential. We recommend scheduling AC maintenance in the spring before the cooling season begins.

AC Maintenance FAQs

Are HVAC maintenance plans worth it?

Maintenance plans are typically worth the cost ($150-$300/year). Benefits include: priority scheduling, discounted repairs, waived service call fees, extended equipment life, maintained warranties, improved efficiency (10-25% savings), and peace of mind. Most plans include two annual tune-ups. Compare plan benefits and costs when choosing a provider.

How much does furnace replacement cost?

Furnace replacement costs range from $2,500 to $7,500 depending on type, size, and efficiency. Gas furnaces average $3,000-$6,000. Electric furnaces run $1,500-$4,000. Oil furnaces cost $4,000-$8,000. High-efficiency models (90%+ AFUE) cost 20-40% more upfront but save significantly on energy bills over time.
