FAQs
Why is seasonal HVAC maintenance important for homes and businesses in Elora?
Elora experiences cold, snowy winters and warm, humid summers. Seasonal maintenance ensures your furnace is ready for sub-zero temperatures and your air conditioner can handle summer heat waves. A tuned system runs more efficiently, keeps indoor air quality high, reduces the risk of mid-season breakdowns, and maintains manufacturer warranties that often require proof of regular service.
What exactly is included in your seasonal heating and air-conditioning maintenance visit?
Our certified technicians follow a 20-plus-point checklist. For heating, we inspect the heat exchanger, clean burners, test safety controls, calibrate the thermostat, change or clean the air filter, check gas pressures, and lubricate moving parts. For cooling, we clean the outdoor condenser coil, verify refrigerant levels, tighten electrical connections, inspect the condensate drain, measure airflow, and test system start-up and shut-down cycles. We finish with a written report and any recommendations.
How often should I schedule maintenance for my furnace and central air conditioner?
Industry standards and equipment manufacturers recommend maintenance twice a year—once in early fall for the heating system and once in spring for the cooling system. If you have a heat pump or a combined system that runs year-round, plan on two tune-ups roughly six months apart. Regular service keeps your warranty valid and identifies small issues before they become expensive repairs.
Can seasonal maintenance really lower my energy bills?
Yes. A well-maintained HVAC system can operate up to 20% more efficiently than a neglected one. Cleaning coils, replacing dirty filters, and adjusting gas or refrigerant levels allow the system to reach the desired temperature faster, using less electricity or natural gas. Over the course of an Elora heating season, that efficiency boost can translate into substantial savings on utility bills.
Will regular tune-ups extend the life of my heating and cooling equipment?
Absolutely. Dust buildup, worn belts, and low refrigerant cause components to work harder and fail sooner. By catching those issues early, seasonal maintenance can add 3–5 years or more to the average lifespan of a furnace (normally 15–20 years) or an air conditioner (normally 12–15 years). That means fewer costly replacements and less downtime for your home or business.
Do you offer maintenance plans and how much do they cost?
We offer three maintenance plans tailored to Elora residents: Basic (two visits per year, priority scheduling), Preferred (visits plus no overtime fees and 10% parts discount), and Premium (all of the above plus free filters and annual IAQ testing). Pricing starts around $14.95 per month for Basic. Exact costs depend on equipment type and age; call or book online for a no-obligation quote.
