Washing down the outdoor coil
A maintenance visit, filmed on the job: the outdoor coil gets washed down until the fins are clear. A blocked coil is the most common reason a system runs hot and costs more than it should.

What does preventive HVAC maintenance include?
Coils cleaned, refrigerant pressures checked, the electrical side tested and the thermostat set before we leave. Preventive HVAC maintenance is what keeps a system from failing in the first cold week of the year.
How often should I schedule HVAC maintenance?
We recommend a full maintenance visit once a year to keep your system running efficiently and catch small issues before they become costly repairs.
Why use an HVAC maintenance company instead of doing it yourself?
A filter change you can do yourself. Checking pressures, testing capacitors and cleaning a coil properly needs gauges and a licensed technician, and doing it wrong is how warranties get voided.
