FAQs
Why is ongoing maintenance important for my heating and air conditioning system in Harrogate?
Regular maintenance keeps your boiler, heat pump or air-conditioning unit running safely, efficiently and reliably. Harrogate’s climate swings from cold, damp winters to warm, sometimes humid summers; those extremes place extra strain on equipment. During a service we clean components, check combustion or refrigerant levels, tighten electrical connections and test safety controls, preventing unexpected breakdowns and extending the life of your system.
What does your HVAC maintenance plan include?
Our standard plan provides two scheduled visits per year—one before the heating season and one before the cooling season. Each visit covers: full system inspection, filter replacement or cleaning, coil and heat-exchanger cleaning, flue and condensate checks, gas-rate or refrigerant-pressure adjustments, thermostat calibration, lubrication of moving parts, and a written health report. Customers also receive priority call-out, discounted spare parts and free reminders so you never miss a service window.
How often should I schedule maintenance visits?
Most domestic systems benefit from one annual tune-up for boilers and one for air-conditioning. If you use a heat pump year-round, we recommend a six-monthly check. Commercial premises or properties with high usage may need quarterly inspections. We track your equipment’s age and run-time hours and will advise a schedule that matches your circumstances.
Will maintenance really reduce my energy bills?
Yes. Dirty filters, fouled coils and out-of-spec gas pressure force equipment to work harder, pushing up electricity or gas consumption by 10–25 %. A tuned system operates at its designed efficiency rating, which translates into lower monthly bills. The small cost of a service visit is typically recouped within the following season through energy savings alone.
Are your engineers qualified to work on all makes and models?
Absolutely. Our Harrogate-based engineers are Gas Safe registered for boilers and hold F-Gas certification for refrigeration and air-conditioning work. They receive manufacturer-approved training on leading brands such as Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, Daikin, Mitsubishi and more. We carry a broad stock of common parts to speed up any on-site repairs.
What should I do if my system breaks down between scheduled visits?
Call our 24/7 helpline immediately. Maintenance-plan members in Harrogate receive priority response—typically within four hours. While you wait, switch off the system at the isolator, check that the fuse or consumer-unit breaker has not tripped, and make sure vents or radiators are not obstructed. Our engineer will arrive with diagnostic equipment and most spares; if a specialist part is required we’ll order it overnight and keep you updated every step of the way.
