Customer Review
I want to share with you and your team that I am very happy with you and Larry’s work yesterday.
My wife cooked up a storm … and barely a smell lingered on for more than 45 minutes. This is what we had in our house in Manotick- and now, you have done the same in this house.
I was also impressed with Larry- Great work, Respectful, took the time to explain what he would do, cleaned up after the job.”
Thanks again for the great service.
Frequently asked Questions
A tune-up is priced at $149. However, it’s included with our Protection Plan, starting at just $14.50/month.
Skipping a tune-up can lead to decreased efficiency, higher energy bills, and a greater chance of unexpected breakdowns. Over time, it may even void your manufacturer’s warranty.
Regular tune-ups ensure your HVAC system runs efficiently, reducing energy bills and preventing unexpected breakdowns. It can also extend the life of your equipment. We recommend at least once per year.
It’s ideal to schedule your HVAC tune-up in the fall for your heating system and in the spring for your cooling system. This ensures your equipment is ready before peak usage seasons.
