FAQs
Why is a seasonal HVAC tune-up especially important for homes in Cosby?
Cosby’s mix of humid summers and chilly mountain winters means your HVAC system works hard year-round. A seasonal tune-up cleans and calibrates the equipment before extreme temperatures arrive, helping it run more efficiently, lowering utility bills, preventing unexpected breakdowns during peak demand, and extending the life of your furnace, heat pump, or air conditioner. Regular maintenance also keeps manufacturer warranties valid and ensures the system operates safely, which is critical when combustion appliances or electric heat strips are involved.
What is included in your seasonal heating and air-conditioning tune-up service?
Our certified technicians follow a 20-plus-point checklist. For heating equipment we: • Inspect the heat exchanger for cracks or corrosion • Test safety controls, limit switches, and ignition systems • Check gas pressure or electrical connections • Clean burners, blower wheel, and cabinet • Replace or clean the air filter • Lubricate moving parts • Measure temperature rise and carbon monoxide levels. For cooling equipment we: • Check refrigerant charge and look for leaks • Clean the outdoor condenser coil and indoor evaporator coil • Inspect the condensate drain and pan • Tighten electrical connections and test capacitors • Measure airflow and thermostat accuracy. We finish with a written performance report and recommendations so you know exactly how your system is operating.
How often should I schedule a furnace, heat pump, or AC tune-up?
Industry standards and most equipment warranties call for maintenance twice a year—once in the fall for heating and once in the spring for cooling. If you have a heat pump that runs in both heating and cooling modes, the biannual schedule is still recommended. Homes with pets, dusty environments, or older equipment may benefit from quarterly filter checks or additional inspections.
What are the warning signs that I need heat repair rather than just a tune-up?
A tune-up is preventive and done when the system is still operating. Call for repair if you notice: • No heat or lukewarm air from vents • Unusual noises such as banging, screeching, or rattling • A sudden spike in utility bills • Frequent on-off cycling or the system running continuously • Burning odors or visible flames where they shouldn’t be • Thermostat readings that don’t match room temperature. We offer same-day heat repair in Cosby, and our trucks are stocked with most common parts to restore comfort quickly.
How long will the service visit take, and will it disrupt my day?
A standard seasonal tune-up generally takes 60–90 minutes per system. If we identify minor issues (like a failing capacitor or clogged drain line), they can usually be corrected during the same visit with minimal added time. Heat repairs vary—simple fixes may take less than an hour, while major component replacements can take several hours. Our technicians call ahead with an arrival window, wear shoe covers, protect work areas, and clean up before leaving so your routine is interrupted as little as possible.
Do you offer maintenance plans or discounts for Cosby residents?
Yes. Our Comfort Club Maintenance Plan includes two precision tune-ups a year, priority scheduling, 15% off repairs, no overtime fees, and a transferable agreement if you sell your home. Members often recoup the cost through lower energy bills and discounted repairs. We also run seasonal specials—such as reduced-price tune-ups in September and April—and give a 10% discount to seniors, military personnel, and first responders in Cosby.
