A service visit that ends with numbers on paper
Capacitor values, refrigerant pressures, temperature splits, amp draws. A maintenance visit here is a set of measurements against spec, written down, kept on file, and compared to last year's.
What actually gets done
The scope is written. This is what is on it.
The two parts that kill systems
Capacitors and contactors die slowly and measurably. A drifting capacitor caught in April is a small fix instead of an August emergency.
Pressures against spec
Charge checked against the manufacturer's numbers. Low means a leak worth finding now. R-410A costs too much per pound to keep topping off.
Filter, blower, coil
Airflow is half of every efficiency complaint. The blower gets cleaned, the coil inspected, and the filter schedule set to your actual dust instead of a generic month count.
Written down, every time
You get the readings, this year next to last year's. Drift shows up in the numbers years before failure does. That is the entire point of maintenance, and a checklist without numbers is theater.
Heat exchanger and ignition
Burners, flame sensor, safeties, and a camera on the heat exchanger before winter. The furnace gets the same measured treatment as the cooling.
The same visit, on a roof
Rooftop units and walk-ins get the same measured treatment on a written scope per unit. One contract, every asset on the site listed, and a report after each visit.
Twice a year, before the seasons
Cooling checked before summer, heat before winter, the same technicians each time, and a file that gets longer every year.
Questions we get about contracts
On a five-year-old system it is mostly cheap insurance and a small utility-bill trim. On a twelve-year-old one it is how you avoid replacing it during a heat wave. If we think a visit is not worth your money, we will say that too.
The bargain tune-up exists to find your replacement; ours exists to produce readings. Ask whoever shows up for the numbers. If there are none, it was a sales call.
Never, in a tight system. It is a sealed loop. If it is low, there is a leak. A system that “needs a yearly top-off” is a system with a leak nobody fixed.
Cooling in spring before the first heat wave books everyone, heat in October. If you are reading this in July, book anyway. The visit is worth the same, the wait is just longer.
Get on the schedule
Tell us the system's rough age and when anyone last looked at it. We set the scope and the season, and the price is in writing before the first visit.
