Maintenance & Tune-Ups

Almost every emergency we get called to was preventable, and the evidence was visible months earlier — a capacitor already reading below spec, a condensate line starting to slime shut, a flame sensor getting glazed, a blower wheel caked enough to cost twenty percent of the airflow. None of those fail on a mild day. They fail on the hottest and coldest days of the year, when the system is under maximum load. A precision tune-up is how you find them while they are still cheap.

Our cooling tune-up includes washing the outdoor condenser coil, checking refrigerant charge by superheat or subcooling rather than by gauge pressure alone, testing capacitor microfarads and compressor and fan amp draw against nameplate, clearing and treating the condensate drain, verifying the float switch, inspecting the contactor for pitting, checking the filter, and measuring the temperature split across the indoor coil.

Our heating tune-up covers a heat exchanger inspection, combustion analysis, flame-sensor cleaning, igniter resistance, inducer and blower operation, gas pressure verification, safety-control testing, venting inspection and thermostat calibration. Both visits end with a written record of every measurement, so system decline is visible long before it becomes a failure — and we tell you in plain language what we found, including "everything is fine," when everything is fine.

Manufacturer warranties on nearly all new equipment require documented annual professional maintenance. Skipping it can leave you holding the bill on a compressor or heat exchanger claim that should have been covered. Two visits a year — one before the cooling season, one before the heating season — keeps the paperwork clean and the system honest. Call (816) 461-8200 to get your home on the schedule.
