FAQs
Why is a seasonal HVAC tune-up important for Mascot homeowners?
Mascot’s warm, humid summers and cool, breezy winters mean your heating and cooling equipment works hard all year. A seasonal tune-up allows a technician to clean, test and adjust critical components before extreme weather arrives. That prevents unexpected breakdowns, keeps the system running safely, and can improve efficiency by 10–15 %, which quickly offsets the cost of the visit.
What does a typical heating and air-conditioning tune-up include?
A professional tune-up is more than a quick visual check. Our technicians: • Inspect and clean indoor and outdoor coils • Test refrigerant levels and look for leaks • Tighten electrical connections and measure motor amperage • Lubricate moving parts • Check thermostat calibration and battery • Clear condensate drains to prevent water damage and mould • Verify burner operation, heat exchanger integrity and carbon-monoxide levels on gas heaters • Replace or clean air filters and discuss filter options suited to Mascot’s coastal air Afterward you receive a written report with any findings and recommendations.
When is the best time to schedule a seasonal tune-up in Mascot?
Book cooling maintenance in late August–September, before the spring heat sets in, and heating maintenance in March–April as temperatures begin to drop. Scheduling in the shoulder seasons gives you more appointment flexibility, avoids peak-season call-out fees, and ensures your system is primed when you need it most.
How long does a professional tune-up take and will it disrupt my day?
Most residential tune-ups take 60–90 minutes per system. You don’t need to be home the entire time—just available at the start for access and at the end for the technician’s walkthrough. Our vans carry all common parts, so in the rare case minor repairs are needed, we can usually finish them on the spot without a second visit.
Will a tune-up help lower my energy bills and extend system life?
Yes. A clean, properly adjusted system doesn’t have to run as long to reach the set temperature, which can cut electricity use by up to 15 %. Regular maintenance also reduces wear on compressors, blower motors and ignition components, allowing equipment to reach or exceed its expected 10–15-year lifespan. Many manufacturers require documented annual maintenance to keep warranties valid.
Is a maintenance plan more cost-effective than one-off tune-ups?
For most Mascot households, a maintenance plan saves money and adds convenience. You receive two scheduled tune-ups per year, priority breakdown service, discounted labour on repairs, and reminders so you never miss an appointment. The plan costs less than booking two separate visits and can pay for itself in lower power bills and reduced emergency call-outs.
