Prevent breakdowns before they happen

Regular maintenance extends unit life, improves efficiency, and saves you money. Most PTAC failures can be prevented with scheduled care.

🔧

Early Problem Detection

Catch small issues before they become expensive repairs. Our technicians spot wear, refrigerant leaks, and electrical problems during routine inspections.

Peak Efficiency

Clean filters and properly lubricated components mean your unit uses less energy. A well-maintained PTAC saves 10-15% on electric bills versus a neglected one.

🏠

Consistent Comfort

Never get stuck without heat or cooling in the middle of the season. Preventive maintenance means your system stays reliable when you need it most.

💰

Lower Operating Costs

Clean coils, sealed ducts, and optimized refrigerant levels all reduce the work your compressor has to do. Less wear means lower repair bills and longer unit life.

🛡️

Warranty Compliance

Most manufacturers require annual maintenance to honor warranty coverage. A maintenance plan ensures you're protected if something goes wrong.

📋

Documentation & Records

We keep detailed records of all service performed. This helps with building compliance, lease requirements, and resale documentation.

Complete system evaluation

Our technician performs a comprehensive multi-point inspection designed to catch problems early.

Filter Inspection & Replacement

Check airflow and replace filters if needed. A clean filter is the #1 thing you can do to extend unit life.

Coil Cleaning

Evaporator and condenser coils collect dust and debris over time. Clean coils mean better heat transfer and lower energy use.

Refrigerant Level Check

Low refrigerant is the #2 cause of PTAC failure. We measure and top off if needed. A leak? We'll find it and repair it.

Electrical Component Testing

Inspect wiring, connections, breakers, and the thermostat. Electrical failures can happen suddenly; we catch them early.

Compressor & Fan Inspection

Listen for unusual noises, check motor bearings for smooth operation, and verify correct amperage draw.

Drainage System Check

Clear condensation lines and check drain pan. Clogged drains cause water leaks and mold growth.

Seals & Insulation

Inspect around unit frame, check for gaps that leak conditioned air, and verify proper installation sealing.

Performance Test

Run cooling and heating cycles, measure actual output versus specifications, and confirm proper thermostat function.

Written Report

You get a detailed report of all findings, photos of any issues, and recommendations for future service.

When to service your PTAC

Different seasons bring different demands. Schedule maintenance before peak season to avoid emergency calls.

March – April

Spring Check-Up

Before cooling season starts, we inspect the compressor, clean coils, check refrigerant levels, and test cooling output. Catch issues before summer heat arrives.

May – August

Summer Support

Peak season demands mean peak failure risk. If you're on a maintenance plan, we're just a call away for any issues. We prioritize emergency calls for plan members.

September – October

Fall Tune-Up

Before heating season, we test backup heating systems, check all electrical components, and ensure emergency heating will work reliably through winter.

November – February

Winter Vigilance

Heating emergencies can't wait. Check that your backup heater works properly. Any issues found now means you'll stay warm all winter.

Maintenance FAQs

How long does a maintenance visit take?

Typically 30-45 minutes. We need time to run diagnostics, test both cooling and heating modes, and inspect all components. If we find issues that need repair, additional time may be needed.

Can I schedule maintenance around my schedule?

Yes. Plan members get priority scheduling. We typically have availability within 1-2 weeks. For Premium and Comprehensive plans, we'll work around your preferred times.

What if the technician finds a problem during maintenance?

We'll explain what we found and provide a quote for any repairs needed. You decide whether to proceed. Plan members get 15-20% discounts on parts and labor for recommended repairs.

Do I need maintenance if the unit is working fine?

Absolutely. Many problems develop silently. Low refrigerant, worn compressor bearings, and electrical degradation don't announce themselves. By the time you notice symptoms, you're facing a major repair bill. Regular preventive maintenance catches these issues early and prevents costly breakdowns.

Can I cancel a maintenance plan?

Plans are annual commitments. If you need to cancel, we'll work with you. If you've had preventive visits, you'll be prorated based on your specific plan terms.

Do maintenance plans cover emergency repairs?

No. Maintenance plans cover scheduled service and include priority scheduling for emergency calls, plus parts discounts. Emergency repairs are quoted separately. But prevention usually means fewer emergencies.

What if I already have a 10-year-old unit?

Older units especially benefit from maintenance. An annual inspection on a 10-year-old PTAC could catch a developing compressor issue before you're stuck without cooling. We still recommend the Basic plan for any unit over 7 years old.
