Heating service before winter
Burners, ignition, heat exchanger inspection, safety controls and airflow.
Maintenance & Tune-Ups
HVAC maintenance and tune-ups in Clackamas County
Most of the failures that leave a house cold in January were visible in October. Seasonal service is the cheapest part of owning a heating and cooling system, and it is the part that decides how long the expensive parts last.
What the work covers
Cooling service before summer
Coil condition, refrigerant charge, electrical connections and condensate drainage.
Filter and airflow review
The single most common cause of poor performance, and the easiest to get wrong.
An honest condition report
Including when a system is fine and needs nothing, which is a normal outcome.
Why it is worth doing
- Small faults get caught while they are still small
- Systems hold their efficiency instead of quietly losing it year over year
- Equipment reaches the upper end of its expected life rather than the lower
- Most manufacturers require documented maintenance to keep a warranty valid
- You find out a system is failing in October rather than in January
Common questions
Questions we get asked
How often should heating and cooling be serviced?
Once a year for each, so heating in the autumn and cooling in the spring. A system that does both, like a heat pump, is generally serviced twice a year because it runs year round.
Does maintenance really affect how long a system lasts?
Considerably. Most of what shortens equipment life is a system working harder than it should for longer than it should, usually because of restricted airflow, a dirty coil or a charge that has drifted. All three are routine service items.
What if nothing is wrong?
Then you get told that. A service visit that finds a healthy system and reports it honestly is doing its job.
