Keeping your home comfortable all year long doesn’t happen by magic—it takes a little TLC for your HVAC system. That’s where professional maintenance comes in. But what does that actually mean? Is it just someone swapping out a filter and calling it a day? Not even close! A proper HVAC check-up is like a spa day for your system—cleaning, testing, tweaking, and making sure everything’s running smoothly before the next heatwave or cold snap hits. We’re breaking down exactly what’s included in a professional maintenance visit, so you know what to expect.

Inspection

The first step to a proper HVAC maintenance visit is a full inspection of all the parts and pieces that help to make your home comfortable through all the seasons. The outdoor unit is inspected for any dirt or debris that might be blocking proper air flow, and then all of the pieces that make up the unit as well. These include the condenser coils, evaporator, drain line and thermostat.

Cleaning

Next up is a good scrub down! Once the inspection is complete and we know where the dirt is, we get in there and give it a good washing. When dirt and debris are obstructing the coils, the HVAC unit runs less efficiently and can cost you hundreds of dollars on your energy bill. Not only that, but an obstructed unit has to work much harder, adding extra wear and tear, ultimately shortening the overall lifespan.

Testing

Once the HVAC unit is inspected and cleaned, it’s time to check and triple check that everything is up to snuff. We ensure that the thermostat is accurate so your unit knows exactly how much to cool or heat your home and verify the appropriate amount of refrigerant levels for ultimate comfort.
