Common questions
Before you call.
These answers are general. The equipment and conditions at the property determine the right next step.
How often should HVAC maintenance be scheduled?
Most residential systems benefit from a cooling-season visit and a heating-season visit each year. Equipment type, filter loading, pets, occupancy, and operating conditions can change that schedule.
Does maintenance include repairs or refrigerant?
No. Maintenance is inspection, cleaning, testing, and adjustment within the visit scope. Repairs, parts, refrigerant, and replacement equipment are separate and require approval.
Can I join a maintenance plan for more than one system?
Yes. The Big Chill Service Plan has an additional-system option. Call or text with the number and type of systems for current plan availability.
