Preventative HVAC Maintenance
Most heating and cooling breakdowns give some warning. Regular maintenance is how you catch small problems before they leave you without air on the hottest day of the year.

Why regular maintenance is worth it
- Catches worn parts and small problems before they become breakdowns
- Helps the system run the way it was designed to
- Can help your equipment last longer
- Keeps airflow and humidity control working as they should
- Gives you a chance to ask questions and plan ahead for replacement
Twice a year, before the season changes
We recommend scheduling maintenance twice a year:
- Spring, for cooling. Get ahead of the summer rush and find out whether your AC is ready before the heat arrives.
- Fall, for heating. Have your heating checked before the first cold snap, when it hasn't run in months.
What you can do between visits
- Check your air filter monthly, and replace it when it looks dirty. Many filters last one to three months.
- Keep plants, leaves and yard debris a couple of feet away from the outdoor unit.
- Keep supply and return vents clear of furniture and rugs.
- Call us if you notice new sounds, smells or uneven temperatures.
Make it automatic
With an Oak Grove maintenance agreement, you get two scheduled visits a year, one in the spring and one in the fall, plus 10% off repairs.
