Durham’s mixed humid climate is hard on HVAC equipment. Summers push systems to run long hours removing both heat and humidity, and winters bring sudden cold snaps that expose weak components fast. A system that’s never serviced tends to lose efficiency gradually, which shows up as higher energy bills long before it shows up as a full breakdown.
Regular maintenance also protects your manufacturer warranty. Most manufacturers require documented annual service to keep coverage valid, so skipping tune ups can end up costing you even if the system is still technically under warranty when it fails.
A full system replacement is one of the largest home expenses most homeowners face. Catching a failing capacitor or a refrigerant leak during a routine visit is a fraction of the cost of an emergency repair, and it’s nowhere close to the cost of replacing the system entirely.
Before Durham's heat and humidity climb, so coils are clean, refrigerant charge is verified, and drain lines are clear before your AC has to work hard.
Before the first cold snap, to confirm ignition, safety controls, and proper airflow ahead of winter.
Dust and shifts in static pressure can affect airflow and comfort, so it's worth a check even outside your normal schedule.
Unplanned downtime costs more than a maintenance plan ever will, especially when it affects tenants, customers, or employees. We maintain rooftop units, split systems, VRF and VRV systems, DOAS and make-up air units, ERVs, boilers, and server room systems for Durham businesses.
Commercial visits include coil cleaning, filter changes, belt and bearing checks, electrical and controls inspection, ventilation review, and refrigerant log documentation. We can also provide a full site survey and a written task list for your property.
