HVAC MAINTENANCE & UPKEEP

Protect Your Comfort. Extend the Life of Your System.

Your heating and air conditioning system works hard year-round to keep your home comfortable. Like any major investment, regular maintenance is essential to ensure it runs efficiently, safely, and reliably when you need it most.

Why Routine HVAC Maintenance Matters

Regular HVAC maintenance helps:

• Improve system efficiency and lower energy bills

• Reduce unexpected breakdowns and costly repairs

• Extend the lifespan of your heating and cooling equipment

• Maintain consistent indoor comfort year-round

• Identify small issues before they turn into major problems

Neglecting maintenance can lead to reduced airflow, higher energy usage, uneven temperatures, and premature system failure.

What Our Maintenance Service Includes

Our professional HVAC maintenance and upkeep service is designed to keep your system operating at peak performance. Services may include:

• Inspecting and cleaning critical components

• Checking electrical connections and safety controls

• Testing system operation and airflow

• Verifying refrigerant levels (when applicable)

• Identifying wear, leaks, or potential failure points

• Replacing or recommending air filter changes

We take a proactive approach—focusing on prevention, not just repairs.

When Should Maintenance Be Done?

For best results:

• Cooling systems should be serviced before peak summer heat

• Heating systems should be checked before cold weather arrives

Routine seasonal maintenance helps ensure your system is ready when demand is highest.

SPA MAINTENANCE

Spa maintenance information. If you own a spa or pool, you know how important it is to balance the water PH level. There are three basic tests needed whether you have a spa or pool. Number one PH balance. So, what is the PH balance? It is the measurement of water to determine whether it is acidic or alkaline. A PH level of 7.2 to 7.8 should be maintained for healthy spa water. Anything below 7.2 can cause irritation and itchiness and red eye plus harm to the spa internal parts as well. Number 2 sanitation levels whether you use chlorine, Bromine, or spa type sanitizers. This is very important maintaining process. Sanitizers control bacteria growth. Warm spa water is inviting to bacteria which gives it a favorable environment to live. Sanitizer levels control any bacteria growth. Keeping the sanitation level between 1 and 4 PPMs (parts per million) is ideal to keep the spa water safe. Number 3 water hardness. Water hardness levels need to be controlled to prevent scale buildup. Hardness levels of 2.0 to 2.5 PPMs (parts per million)

News from the HVAC front lines...

 R454b is still in short supply. Distributors are still having issues with tank valve due to the new type of refrigerant. Current government mandate as of 2025 higher GWPs (Global Warming Potential) are being phased down due to higher greenhouse gases which 410a, 404a pose. Daikin Corp is using their patent of R32, which all Daikin, Amana, and Goodman units in production have today. Although R32 has a higher GWP than 454b its still within acceptable range. AC units made before 2025 still have 410a refrigerant. This refrigerant is still readably available. If you still own a with 410a system, no need to worry plenty of 410a refrigerant is available. My recommendations if you don't need a new HVAC system, then you are better off waiting until the supply chain stabilizes. If you are buying Daikin, Amana, or Goodman systems you are safe. Plenty of R32 refrigerant in stock.
