An HVAC maintenance plan is a yearly service agreement that keeps your heating and cooling systems running efficiently and prevents costly repairs. You'll receive two tune-up visits annually-one for heating, one for air conditioning-where a technician performs manufacturer-recommended maintenance.

During each visit, the technician inspects filters, tests electrical connections, checks refrigerant charge, cleans coils, flushes drains, verifies thermostat operation, and monitors safety controls. They'll spot potential problems early, before they become expensive.

Plan benefits include low monthly payments, priority customer service, 20% off all repairs and parts, discounted 24-hour emergency service, and improved equipment efficiency. The agreement is transferable and can be canceled anytime.
