What a Maintenance Visit Actually Covers

A thorough maintenance visit looks different depending on your system. Our technicians follow a structured process for each equipment type rather than a generic checklist.

Heating System Maintenance

Tune-ups include cleaning burners, inspecting the combustion chamber, verifying system pressure, calibrating thermostats, and scanning for carbon monoxide risks. For gas furnaces, we inspect the heat exchanger for cracks, check the blower motor and alignment, test the gas supply line, and examine the pilot light and ignition system. Oil furnace service covers the oil tank and supply line, filter cleaning or replacement, combustion chamber and flue pipe cleaning, and nozzle inspection. Electric furnace maintenance includes testing heating elements for continuity and proper resistance, inspecting the blower wheel and housing, and lubricating all moving parts.

Cooling System Maintenance

AC service covers refrigerant levels, coil condition, drain lines, electrical connections, and airflow. We don’t skip steps because everything looks fine on the surface; weak compressors, loose wiring, and deteriorating pipe insulation often show up before they cause a breakdown.

When a technician flags an issue, you hear about it right away, with a plain-language explanation of what was found, before any repair work is authorized. Scheduling heating maintenance in fall and cooling maintenance in spring keeps your system ready ahead of New Haven’s peak-demand seasons. Regular preventive HVAC maintenance also supports manufacturer warranty coverage, since many manufacturers require documented annual service to keep warranties in effect. Skipping that service is one of the leading reasons warranty claims get denied.

Our technicians are NATE-certified and go through ongoing training to stay current with modern HVAC systems. That matters when equipment designs and refrigerant standards keep changing.

Our Maintenance Plan & Service Contracts

Our maintenance plan includes two performance tune-ups per year, one for your heating system and one for cooling, plus 24/7 priority service, a standard air filter, and a 30-day labor warranty. Full service contracts are available for customers who want year-round coverage on both systems. Maintenance packages are built to fit your budget, so protecting your equipment doesn’t require a large upfront commitment.

Honest pricing is a baseline for us, not a slogan. You know the cost before any work begins: no surprises on the invoice.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I have my HVAC system serviced?

Twice per year is the standard: once in fall before heating season and once in spring before cooling season. Our maintenance plan is built around that schedule with two tune-ups per year included.

Can skipping maintenance affect my equipment warranty?

Many manufacturers require documented proof of annual maintenance to keep warranty coverage valid. Skipping service can put that coverage at risk. We provide records of every visit.

What happens if a problem is found during my maintenance visit?

Your technician can explain what was found and walk you through the repair options before any work is authorized. You decide how to proceed. Honest pricing means you’ll have the cost in front of you before we start.

Do you service both residential and commercial systems? 

Yes. Air Specialties Air Conditioning & Heating provides HVAC maintenance for both residential and commercial customers throughout New Haven County.
