So why should you schedule an appointment to have your

unit serviced ?

The answer is one simple word : Maintenance.

If you don't know this already, regular maintenance

for your heating and air conditioning units is

very important.  Mechanical systems

require routine monitoring, adjustments,

periodic cleaning, and eventual

replacement of components. Regularly

scheduled  inspections and maintenance are often required to maintain the original equipment manufacturer's ( OEM ) warranty. Conducting regularly scheduled inspections, maintenance, and remediation of HVAC systems

prolongs equipment efficiency, promotes healthy clean air, supports lower

utility costs, guards against unexpected failures, and prolongs equipment life. Occupants and environment will both benefit.

When should I have my Air Conditioning Mainenance performed ?

  It is recommended to have your Air Conditioning serviced once a year, normally in the Spring. The ideal temperatures for testing refrigerant levels is 65-75 degrees.

Our Commitment !

  Keeping You Cool all season long is Quality Controls Heating and Air Conditioning's goal. With unpredictable weather around every corner, making sure your HVAC systems are all working in tip-top shape is important. The best part is savings on your energy bills. When your HVAC system is properly maintained, it works more efficiently. Systems that are not cared for work harder year after year to achieve the cooling temperatures you prefer. The harder your Air Conditioning unit works, the quicker it will run through its life cycle. Not only will you be paying more on energy cost but with a shorter life span, a new unit will be needed sooner. Replacement is much more expensive than maintenance.

  When you call on Quality Controls Heating and Air Conditioning to tune up your Air Conditioning this Spring, years of knowledge and experience come with your technician. We service all makes and models, old and new. Respecting your home and time in a professional manner with an honest diagnosis is guaranteed. If your HVAC system has multiple issues, your technician can help you work through what needs immediate attention and what can wait.

When should I do have my Furnace and Gas Log Mainenance performed ?

  It is recommended to have your Furnace and Gas Logs serviced once a year, normally in the Fall. Some manufacturer warranties are voided if regular maintenance is not kept up. It is a good practice to have all gas burning appliances checked for Carbon Monoxide at least once a year.
