FAQ

How often should I change my heating and cooling system’s air filter?

All the air in your home circulates and recirculates through the same filter attached to your indoor unit. Air filters are designed to remove dust particles to keep the air you breathe clean. But as filters become clogged, your air conditioning and heating system work less efficiently and cost you more to operate. If left unchanged long enough, your system could fail completely.

Changing your central air conditioning unit’s air filter at least once every six months will not only help you save on your monthly bills but also will help extend the life of your system. Changing the filter every three months is even better. Sign up for conveniently scheduled deliveries with us so that you always replace your air filter on time.

When should I have my heating and cooling system serviced?

You should have a regular HVAC tune-up (one AC tune-up, one furnace tune-up) twice a year, typically at the beginning of each heating and cooling season, to ensure that your system is working efficiently before the weather gets too hot or too cold. However, maintenance may be scheduled at any time.

Are seasonal maintenance plans worth the investment?

Each spring and fall before you start using your air conditioner, furnace, or other heating and cooling systems, you should get an HVAC tune-up to ensure your HVAC system is ready for the season. By spending a little twice a year for a spring AC tune-up and fall furnace tune-up, you can save a lot in energy bills by keeping your system operating at peak efficiency. You also can avoid costly repairs by identifying and fixing minor problems before they turn into big ones. Plus, many homeowners don’t realize that their manufacturer’s warranties may be considered invalid if they aren’t getting their unit serviced twice a year with a furnace tune-up or AC tune-up.

What brands or equipment do you service?

We offer maintenance and HVAC tune-ups for all brands of central heating and air conditioning equipment. Systems serviced include central air conditioners, furnaces, heat pumps, and air quality systems such as whole-home humidifiers, dehumidifiers, and air cleaners. Tune-up service is also available for oil furnaces, ductless mini splits, and boilers in many markets.


Is an HVAC tune-up covered by my warranty?

No. Extended warranties and service agreements do not cover the cost of regular heating and air conditioning maintenance. HVAC tune-ups are considered regular maintenance and are required by most manufacturers for your warranty to remain in effect.
