The best time to do preventive check-ups of your HVAC system is Spring and Autumn.
Most households nowadays are relying heavily on HVAC systems to go comfortably through the heat of the summer and chilly autumn nights. New models allow homeowners to control the parameters of the cooling, heating and ventilating in each room of the house, scheduling their systems or operating them remotely through an Internet connection.
Whether your HVAC system is brand new or it has a few years of activity behind, it should be regularly maintained by a professional HVAC expert. The manufacturer of your unit usually specifies how frequent maintenance should be, but for a unit to work efficiently, twice a year is generally the ideal frequency for check-ups.

I called on December 25th at midnight and started leaving a message and Thomas Hoffman the owner called me back almost immediately. He said he would come out the next morning between 8:00 and 10:00 am snd he was promptly on time. He fixed my problem and while he was there I decided to get an estimate for a new furnace and air conditioning unit. The price was very reasonable and the installers one of them being his son were both very professional very courteous, polite, arrived on time and finished the same day. I enjoy knowing that I now have the support of Thomas Hoffman heating and air conditioning along with the peace of mind that comes with owning a Trane. Nothing stops a Trane.

The Thomas Hoffmann team did a great job taking care of our semi annual HVAC maintenance. They not only worked with us to schedule the visit, but also did an excellent job sending us reminders on when they would be out.

Nick was excellent. Super profession, quick, and up front with the pricing (which was fair). Hopefully we don't need to call anyone to fix our AC again, but if we do - I'm calling Nick!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Layton, for your amazing review! We really appreciate your support and hope to be your first call for any future repairs!
Same day service. Technician arrived as scheduled. Replaced capacitor quickly. Friendly technician. Repair cost $429 seemed high for inexpensive part and 20 minutes labor.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Tom, for your feedback! We're glad to hear the technician was prompt and friendly, though we understand your concerns about the repair cost. We appreciate your insights and hope to serve you again in the future.
Excellent.

My ac compressor was replaced. They always do a good job and they are always available when you need them.I think the price was a little too high since they only had to change the compressor in my unit. The compressor was under the warranty. Other than that Im very satisfied with the job the technician did.

Autumn HVAC Check-Up
The best time to do preventive check-ups of your HVAC system isSpring and Autumn. That’s because the unit will perform two entirely different tasks in between. After running intensively for the whole summer, it’s wisest to get a team to look at your exterior and interior units, the duct system, the pipes, etc. Making sure everything works properly for the winter is part of preventive maintenance, and it prolongs the life-span of any system you have.
Preventing Bigger Issues
Identifying potential problems or issues in their incipient phase can save you a lot of time, money and comfort in the long-term. This type of approach allows you to spot cracks, leaks, weakened connections, damaging factors and other things that would become worse if ignored.
Cleaning Up Summer’s Dirt
It is also a good opportunity to clean the system, the filters and ducts, as well as groom the area around the exterior unit. All of these steps will ensure a smooth start for the winter.
Changing the Thermostat Settings
For many users, setting up the thermostat is an annoying task. Use the autumn check-up as a chance of asking the maintenance team to do it for you. This way, you will make sure everything is indeed programmed the way you want. If you have any doubts on how to program and schedule your thermostat, ask your HVAC expert for help.
Schedule Future Maintenance and Getting Good Deals
An advantage of getting your HVAC unit checked preventively is becoming a loyal customer of your HVAC service company. A lot of companies offer discounts if you schedule your maintenance with them regularly. Saving a few bucks on the service, on top of the money you would spend on more serious problems, is not to be ignored. Also, you can talk to the experts about how you can choose a more effective energy plan, saving even more.
Now that summer has ended, the information above should convince you to pick up the phone and call your HVAC service team for an autumn check-up. That way, you can prolong your system’s life and fix any potential issues before they cause costly problems. Give us a call 24/7 (314) 471-7625!
