Air Conditioner Maintenance
AC Maintenance Plans mean not having to “sweat” the small stuff yourself. Take the stress out of annual maintenance schedules with an full-service maintenance plan.
Did you know that our Member1 Service Club members receive regularly scheduled maintenance and 10% off of all Emergency Repairs?
Did you know that up to 80% of all AC compressor failures could be eliminated if the problems that lead to the failure were corrected in a timely manner?
- Straightened and cleaned
Dirty condenser coils can increase your electric bill by raising refrigerant pressure unnecessarily.
- Inspected
Even a small amount of dirt can decrease efficiency and increase operating costs. Dirty Evaporator coils are also a major cause of compressor failure.
- Inspected and cleaned
Dirty blower wheels reduce air flow, causing longer operating time and increased cost. This problem can lead to lost comfort.
- Inspected
A low or high refrigerant charge can easily co unnoticed and increase operating costs. An Improper charge can cause the compressor to shut down entirely.
- Replaced at customer's option
A restricted air filter can cause your air conditioning unit to waste energy and shorten the compressor’s life.
- Inspected and adjusted
Loose belts and worn pulleys decrease air flow, increase operating costs and shorten the compressor’s life. Belts crack and break with age.
- Lubricated
Improperly lubricated rotating equipment will cause moving parts to fail.
- Checked and calibrated
Improperly calibrated thermostats allow the unit to run longer than necessary. Every degree your air conditioning operates below 78 degrees can add 5 – 8% to the cost of cooling.
- Tested and inspected
Controls and safeties that do not function properly can increase operation cost and cause other components to fail.
- Cleaned and inspected
Dirty motors decrease efficiency of the unit and decrease will eventually shorten the lifespan of the equipment.
- Inspected and tested
Bad capacitors can lead to compressor and motor failure.
- Cleaned
Algae can plug a condensate drain which can cause expensive water damage.
- Inspected
Crankcase heaters that do not work can lead to compressor failure.
- Inspected
Worn contacts and loose wire connections can lead to a motor or compressor failure.
- Inspected
A worn or over-heated disconnect blows fuses and is dangerous.
- Inspected and connections tightened
Loose connections can lead to a motor or compressor failure.
- Recorded and documented
An accurate record of your equipment’s vital data can indicate potential problems, which can be eliminated. A record will be kept with the unit which may reduce be used to reduce emergency service time.
- Inspected for leak and proper insulation
Duct leaks may exist from the time it was installed and insulation can fall off. Unrepaired duct work problems can increase operating costs by 30% or more. Accessible duct work will be inspected at least once during the first year of the agreement.
Oil Heat Maintenance

Oil Heat Maintenance Checklist
- Replaced
If your filter is not replaced, the furnace will be forced to work harder to keep up with heating demand eventually causing components to fail prematurely due to excessive cycling.
- Replaced
The opening in a nozzle is smaller than the tip of a needle, causing it to easily clog and cease functioning. This inexpensive part should be replaced regularly to prevent equipment failure.
- Replaced
Replacing the pump screen on a consistent schedule can prolong the life of your equipment.
- Cleaned and Adjusted
Electrodes should be spaced no farther than 1/8 of an inch apart for efficiency.
- Inspected & Cleaned
You can add years to the life of an oil furnace by helping to prevent the breakdown of parts that can occur with the accumulation of dirt and debris.
- Inspected
The burner coupling is made of a hard rubber and over time may deteriorate, strip out or break.
- Brushed & Vacuumed
This is necessary for the continued function and safety of your oil furnace.
- Efficiency Test & Rating
Landlords MUST keep their oil furnace rating assessments up to date! Is this tag (below) up-to-date on your system?
Gas Heat Maintenance
Gas Heat Maintenance
Did you know that our Member1 Service Club members receive regularly scheduled maintenance and 10% off of all Emergency Repairs?
Gas Heat Maintenance Checklist
- Inspected for cracks and deterioration
Heat exchangers can develop cracks with age. If they exist, there is a risk of serious illness from the toxic fumes emitted.
- Replaced at customer's option
Dirty air filters can increase operating costs.
- Cleaned
Dirty burners can cause poor combustion. You would end up paying for useful heat that “goes up the stack”.
- Cleaned and Tested
A defective thermocouple will cause the furnace to shut down. We don’t take a chance with your comfort, it is replaced before it causes a problem.
- Checked and adjusted
A fan switch that is not properly adjusted can waste energy or cause nuisance fan cycling.
- Cleaned and adjusted
Weak or dirty pilots can easily be extinguished, causing the furnace to shut down.
- Inspected
Safety controls that do not operate can cause dangerous problems.
- Inspected
A clean blower wheel and lubricated motor will increase the life of your equipment and provide more comfort to your home.
- Leak checked from furnace shut off valve to burners
Undetected gas leaks can be extremely dangerous. A gas leak in the home can cause an explosion if a spark or flame is present.
- Inspected
Blocked or restricted combustion air openings can be dangerous to your home and property.
- Inspected
Flue pipe corrosion or leaks are dangerous.
- Secured
Loose panels can increase operating costs and cause a dangerous condition.
- Inspected & calibrated
Defective or improperly calibrated thermostats affect comfort and operating costs.
- Recorded and documented
An accurate record of vital data can indicate potential problems, which can greatly increase the speed of future repairs.
