What each check-up covers
- Detailed safety inspection, twice per year
- Inspection of coils and/or heat exchanger
- Testing and inspection of electrical components
- Capacitor testing (if present)
- Motor operation testing
- Condensate drain check
Coil cleaning and any replacement parts or repairs beyond the inspection are quoted separately — with the member discount applied.
Why it matters
HVAC equipment rarely dies without warning — it telegraphs. A capacitor reads weak months before it strands the compressor. A condensate drain slows down before it overflows into the ceiling. Each spring, pine pollen films over every condenser coil in the Upstate, and a fouled coil makes the system work harder, run longer, and cost more on every electric bill until someone cleans it.
Twice-a-year inspections exist to catch exactly those things while they're cheap. The spring visit readies the system for cooling season; the fall visit checks the heat side — including the heat exchanger, which is a safety inspection, not just a performance one. Manufacturers also expect documented maintenance to keep warranties intact, so the plan protects the paperwork as much as the equipment.
Procedure
How membership works
-
Enroll
Call the office or send a request with how many systems you have. Plans start at $199 a year for one system.
-
Spring cooling check-up
Before the heat arrives: coils, refrigerant-side performance, capacitors, motors, and the condensate drain that summer humidity will test.
-
Fall heating check-up
Before the first cold snap: heat exchanger or heat-strip inspection, electrical testing, and a full heating cycle run.
-
Priority all year
If anything breaks in between, you call, you go to the front of the line, and you pay member rates — 24/7, 365 days a year.
