Seasonal Maintenance

The  Cheapest  Repair  Is the One You Never Need

Two visits a year, spring and fall. We catch the small things while they are still small, keep the system running the way it was designed to, and give you back the years it was built for.

What neglect costs

Nothing Breaks Today. That Is the Problem.

A neglected system does not fail all at once. It gets slightly worse every season until one January morning it does not start, and by then the repair is not small any more.

What it costs you Seasons since the last service
01

Your bills go up first

A dirty coil or a blocked filter makes the system work harder for the same result. You pay that difference every month whether or not anything is wrong.

02

Then the small parts start failing

Components that would have lasted years fail early when the system runs hot, dirty, or restricted. Each one is a service call.

03

Then the expensive part goes

Compressors and heat exchangers do not usually fail from age alone. They fail from years of running under strain.

04

And the warranty may not cover it

Most manufacturers require documented annual maintenance to keep coverage valid. Without a record, the biggest repair is also the one you pay for yourself.

Every one of these starts as something a technician would have caught in twenty minutes.

Questions

The Honest Answers About Maintenance

Including the one everybody is really thinking.

Ask us anything else, 859-324-2770
The answer

Twice a year. Once in spring before cooling season and once in autumn before heating season. If you only do one, do the fall one, because a heating failure in January is the more dangerous of the two.

The answer

A single seasonal tune-up is $XX, and members pay less and get scheduled automatically. You know the figure before we come out.

The answer

It is the difference between a system reaching the years it was built for and not. It is also, on most systems, a condition of keeping the manufacturer warranty valid.

The answer

You hear what it is and what it costs before we touch it. A maintenance visit does not turn into a repair without you saying so.

The answer

Yes, and more than people expect. New systems are usually still under warranty, and most warranties require documented annual service to stay valid.

The answer

Yes. We service whatever is already in your home or building.

The answer

Yes. Rooftop units, packaged systems, and full mechanical systems across Central Kentucky, on scheduled agreements.
