The real question is, how much does it cost to replace equipment?

Watch out for a “Cut-Rate Price” and “Join our Club.” A "cut-rate" proposal can mean hidden charges to come, either for what’s not included or later on with service repairs, or from taking shortcuts with time.

Maintaining equipment properly, with HVAC repairs, includes replacing certain parts such as contactors and sensors, ignitors and valves, or blower and fan motors over the service life of the equipment. This is by design to achieve an optimal length of operation at a manageable cost.

There’s no avoiding the cost of what it takes to maintain and repair HVAC mechanical equipment. It’s a small cost to ensure such a large investment.

The real secret of MAX Maintenance and The Green Truck Association.

The real secret of Max Maintenance and The Green Truck Association is having maintenance performed consistently by an expert HVAC mechanic who understands the equipment and knows how to repair it and keep it in top-notch condition.

An expert mechanic also knows the one other critical part of correct maintenance and repairs: keeping the customer informed of the condition of their equipment.

Safety hazards that are not obvious will be immediately recognized by a trained certified HVAC technician and reported back to you. It is important for you to understand what was found during the scheduled HVAC repair and maintenance visit and have the peace of mind knowing that it’s handled.

Clean filters play an extremely important role! The efficiency and performance of the equipment depend on it. We offer filter changing as part of an HVAC repair and maintenance routine to our residential and commercial customers.

Finding a company you can trust: It’s important you should only hire contractors compliant with your local HVAC licensing requirements.

We Are Old School When It Comes to What We Do.

We are licensed and insured. Your complete satisfaction is our measure of success. No tricks, no up sales, just a company that has offered honesty, integrity since 1959.

No contract: We do not require any contract for our customers’ maintenance service.

Maintenance procedures differ from heating to cooling and for different types of equipment that may be present at the same location.

THERMOSTAT

• Check terminal connections
• Clean bimetal, inspect mercury switch
• Check thermostat level
• Check programming for correct day and time

BLOWER COMPARTMENT

• Check blower motor amperage
• Check all wiring connections
• Check and lubricate motor bearings
• Check and lubricate blower wheel bearings
• Check and lightly clean blower and compartment
• Check blower wheel for free and balanced rotation
• Check pulley alignment and pulley setscrews for tightness
• Check belt tension
• Change filters
• Clean economizer filter

COOLING

• Check all electrical connections
• Check compressor contractor
• Check condenser fan motor amperage
• Verify proper amp loads through run/start capacitors
• Check temp drop across coils (This is better procedure than hooking up gauges. Connecting gauges to a refrigerant system three or four times a year can release enough refrigerant to cause freezing over during operation. Don’t hook up gauges unless there’s indication of an issue.)
• Clean condenser coils (“Indoor” evaporator coils only cleaned as needed as an additional cost procedure. Keeping filters changed regularly and devices such as UV lights over the coil can greatly help keep the evaporator coil clean, healthy, and efficient.)
• Change filters (Note: Leakage in return ducts can cause evaporator coils to become dirty.)
• Check and lubricate condenser fan motor
• Check fan blades secure and in balance
• Basic overall observation of equipment and age of unit, general overview of ductwork
• Always clear condensate drains

HEATING

• Check all electrical wiring
• Check and clean burners for lint, dust, and rust
• Check for cracks in heat exchanger
• Check pilot assembly/electronic spark ignition control
• Check manifold gas pressure
• Check temperature rise
• Check limit safety
• Check draft inducer/diverter and vent
• Check for combustion air
• Basic overall observation of equipment and age of unit, general overview of ductwork
• Change filters
• Clean condensate drain—necessary for heating due to 90-plus furnaces
• Gas control system check—inducer motor, amperage/voltage check
• Remove and clean flame sensor
• Check blower motor—bearings, play, wheel clean, take out and clean if necessary

POST-SERVICE CHECK

• Return thermostat to original settings
• Power On
• Inform customer of all conditions
• Be sure all areas are neat and clean
