Heating and Air Maintenance Plans

Regular service keeps equipment efficient, catches small problems early, and helps protect manufacturer warranties. Our technicians provide seasonal tune ups that verify performance and safety for air conditioners, heat pumps, furnaces, and ductless mini splits. You get priority scheduling during peak weather and clear, flat-rate pricing for any recommended repairs. License: NC H3-Class 1 #30223.

Residential Membership (per system)

Two seasonal tune ups each year

Cooling visit checklist: clean coils in place, check refrigerant charge, verify superheat/subcool and temperature split, inspect capacitors and contactor, test condenser and blower motor amperage, tighten electrical connections, flush condensate drain line and test float switch, check duct connections and take a static pressure snapshot, replace or clean filter, verify thermostat calibration

Heating visit checklist: inspect burners, clean flame sensor, test hot surface igniter, verify draft inducer and pressure switch operation, confirm temperature rise and airflow, check limit switch, complete electrical inspection, perform combustion analysis and CO safety test where appropriate, replace or clean filter, test thermostat

Member perks: priority scheduling, reminder notices, and a discount on repairs

If your system has stopped working today, you can start with fast AC help in Durham or quick furnace support depending on the issue.

Commercial HVAC Maintenance Plans

A predictable plan reduces downtime and keeps tenants comfortable. We maintain rooftop units, split systems, VRF/VRV, DOAS and make-up air, ERV, boilers, and server-room systems. Visits include coil cleaning, filter changes, belts and bearings, electrical and controls checks, ventilation review, and refrigerant log documentation. We can provide site surveys and a written task list for each location.
Call (919) 404-9040 or book a building assessment online to get started.

When to schedule in Durham

Spring (cooling tune up): before heat and humidity rise so coils are clean, charge is verified, and drains are clear.
Fall (heating tune up): before first cold snap to confirm ignition, safety controls, and temperature rise.
After any renovation or duct change: dust and static pressure shifts can affect airflow and comfort.

What we measure and why

Temperature split and airflow: shows whether coils and ducts are transferring heat as designed.
Superheat/subcool and electrical readings: confirm refrigerant charge and component health.
Static pressure: identifies duct restrictions that raise energy use and reduce comfort.
Combustion and CO checks (where appropriate): verifies safe operation during heating season.

Ductless and heat pump notes

Mini splits: clean intake screens, wash coils, verify condensate pumps, and confirm quiet fan operation.
Heat pumps: confirm defrost control, reversing valve function, and balance points for backup heat so winter performance stays steady.

Documentation you can keep

After each visit you receive a summary with readings, tasks completed, and any recommendations. Keep these for warranty records and to track trends over time.

What to do between visits

Change or clean filters on schedule
Keep outdoor units clear of leaves and debris
Pour a small amount of approved cleaner or water into the condensate clean-out to discourage clogs
Note new noises, odors, or changes in run time and mention them at your next visit

FAQ for maintenance members

How long does a visit take?
Most residential tune ups take 60–90 minutes per system, depending on access and findings.

Will this reduce bills?
Clean coils, correct charge, and proper airflow help systems use less energy and control humidity better in Durham summers.

Do you remind me when it is time?
Yes. Members receive reminders and priority scheduling.

What if the tech finds a failed part?
You receive an upfront, flat-rate price before work begins. Members receive a discount on repairs.
