All American Heating & Cooling provides you with two ways of keeping your unit running properly:

• A one year, one maintenance contract - We will inspect your unit one time.

Upgrade Options for Your HVAC System

When you have a preventive HVAC maintenance plan with All American, you are entitled to priority service. We are also able to replace your equipment, if the situation should ever arise, with the best models from Trane. Here are some options you should think about if your equipment needs to be replaced:

• 13 SEER or higher equipment: The higher the SEER rating, the lower the power usage.
• Programmable Thermostats: This tool allows you to set your home's temperature according to your schedule and saves you big bucks on energy bills.
• High Efficiency Filters and Electronic Air Cleaners: These options provide you with the best air filtration in residential homes and improve indoor air quality
• U.V. Lights: This option is an air purification product best if installed with an air cleaner.
• Variable Speed Air Handlers: This air handler provides you with quiet operation and humidity control.
• Humidistats: This option has a low operating cost and unmatchable humidity control. (This option is best for people who are away from home for more than two weeks at a time.)

Simple HVAC Maintenance Tips for Homeowners

Finally, we would like to leave you with a few things that you can do to save money and keep your unit running properly.

Clean or Change Your Filter Monthly

Excessive dust or dirt in a filter can block airflow, which forces a unit to work harder to maintain your preferred temperature.

Keep Outdoor Unit Clean

The outdoor unit should be clear of debris, leaves and shrubbery. The unit needs a free flow of air over the coil. Keep the coil clean with periodic wash-downs and avoid anything that restricts airflow.

Let The Thermostat Do Its Job

Your system will perform more efficiently when you let the thermostat control it. Continually adjusting the temperature can be very inefficient. Set the thermostat at a comfortable level and leave it there.

Warning Signs Your HVAC System Needs Professional Maintenance

Professional maintenance by an expert HVAC technician is recommended when you notice frequent cycling, weak airflow, uneven temperatures, unusual sounds, or a sudden rise in energy use. Problems that repeat for more than a few days can point to worn parts, airflow restrictions, electrical issues, or poor operation. Contact our HVAC company when these changes appear instead of waiting for a complete breakdown. Early inspection can help determine whether routine service or a repair is the right next step.

• Frequent cycling: The equipment starts and stops every few minutes instead of completing normal heating or cooling cycles.

• Rising energy bills: An increase of about 10% to 20% without a major weather or usage change can signal declining efficiency.

• Weak or uneven airflow: Some rooms take much longer to reach the set temperature, or certain vents deliver noticeably less air.

• New noises or odors: Grinding, buzzing, burning smells, or repeated rattling should be inspected before continued operation.

• Moisture or drainage problems: Water near indoor equipment or a repeatedly clogged drain can point to condensate problems.

What Your HVAC Maintenance Plan Should Actually Cover

A strong preventive program should cover inspection, cleaning, testing, and adjustments for components that affect airflow, safety, and efficiency. It should include coil checks, filter service, refrigerant readings, electrical inspections, thermostat testing, drain cleaning, and lubrication where required. A qualified HVAC technician should also record temperatures and pressures so operating changes can be tracked over time. This gives the equipment consistent preventive care instead of waiting for performance problems to appear.

Our HVAC company builds each maintenance plan around real HVAC needs and equipment conditions. Your tune-up service should clearly explain what is included, how often visits occur, and what priority benefits apply under the maintenance agreement. Clear HVAC maintenance agreements make it easier to understand included services and plan future care. Routine HVAC system maintenance helps reduce avoidable wear, support efficiency, and lower the risk of HVAC failures. When deciding among HVAC companies to get professional maintenance service for your HVAC unit, our HVAC company can be the right choice for you.

FAQs - HVAC Maintenance Service

How often should I schedule preventative maintenance for my HVAC?

Most homes should schedule preventative HVAC maintenance 1 to 2 times per year, usually once before the cooling season and once before the heating season. Equipment older than 10 years or systems that run heavily for long periods may benefit from two visits each year.

How does preventative maintenance extend the life of my HVAC system?

Preventative service helps limit strain by keeping airflow, coils, drains, electrical components, and operating settings within normal conditions. Many central systems can operate for roughly 15 to 20 years when properly installed, serviced, and repaired as needed.

What are the costs associated with HVAC preventative maintenance?

Preventative maintenance cost can vary by system type and included work, with a single visit often ranging from about $75 to $200 and annual coverage commonly ranging from $150 to $500. HVAC companies may price visits differently, so ask for a written breakdown of services, exclusions, and fees before choosing coverage.

Are HVAC maintenance plans worth it?

An HVAC maintenance plan can be worthwhile when it includes 1 to 2 scheduled visits per year, priority scheduling, documented inspections, and clearly defined service benefits. Compare the included work, exclusions, and annual price before committing so the plan matches your equipment and service needs.
