Tuck & Howell, Inc. encourages area homeowners to avoid the break-fix approach and instead schedule regular HVAC maintenance in Spartanburg, SC. It may surprise you at just how much money and hassles routine heating and AC maintenance saves you over time. The Department of Energy estimates that you can reduce annual cooling and heating costs by 15%. Your system will be less prone to unexpected and expensive repairs during summer and winter. You’ll also extend the life of your equipment and thereby lower your total cost of ownership.
"I am very pleased with the professionalism demonstrated from the initial call all the way through the onsite service representative experience. It is an easy decision to rely on Tuck and Howell every year for my service needs."
Another reason to schedule seasonal HVAC maintenance in Spartanburg is your warranty. Many homeowners are unaware that these plans often require seasonal tune-ups as a condition of coverage. When we perform maintenance, we’ll provide you with everything you need in the unfortunate event you have to make a claim. Our team also meets manufacturer requirements by customizing our maintenance services to their particular guidelines.
Homeowners often ask us when to schedule, and it depends on where you’re at. If you’ve never scheduled or can’t remember the last time, now is probably the right time. Our HVAC technicians can perform comprehensive heating maintenance and AC maintenance services at the same time.
If your equipment is on a maintenance schedule, we recommend scheduling early in the season. That means scheduling heating maintenance for your furnace, heat pump, or boiler in early fall. It means scheduling AC maintenance for your AC or heat pump in early spring. This way, our technicians have inspected, cleaned, and tuned your system before you ever have to run it.
Our technicians will inspect and clean your outdoor unit. That includes testing the service disconnect switch and blowing leaves and other debris out of the fan area. We’ll ensure that the unit is level and check the refrigerant pressure. Our technicians will also clean the condenser coils and lubricate the fan bearings.
Inside, we’ll inspect the insulation and seals on your exposed ducts. For electric furnaces, we’ll clean and test the heat exchanger and ignition system. With gas furnaces, it’s important to clean and test the pilot mechanism and burner. Our technicians will also check your exhaust and CO monitors. For ACs and heat pumps, we’ll clean the condenser coils, test the wet switch, and clear out the condensate drain line.
In the final phase, we’ll swap out your HVAC filter and test the thermostat. We’ll turn the system on and let it cycle. Finally, we’ll ensure that static air pressure is in the optimal range.
Watch for signs you need cooling or heating maintenance:
Cycling too short or too long
Rising electricity or fuel costs
Unpleasant odors or strange noises
Sudden excessive dust accumulation
Cold or warm spots in the living areas
