The Benefits of Regular AC Maintenance and Repairs
Have you ever wondered if there was an easy, cost-efficient way to maintain your AC? Well, aside from having yearly tune-ups and inspections, there is a very simple thing to do. This simple thing can be done by a professional at a low cost, or even by you.
We’re talking about regularly changing your AC filter! Many people forget exactly how important it is to stick to a schedule which is why we recommend allowing our technicians to take care of this task for you. Here are a few benefits of changing your air conditioning filter regularly:
- Increased longevity of your AC unit - your HVAC system doesn’t have to work as hard to push out cold air which means there is less wear and tear on the unit
- Lowered energy bills - when your AC doesn’t work as hard, it doesn’t use as much energy. Using less energy means your electric bill will lessen
- Better air quality - your air filter is responsible for filtering out dirt, dander, dust, and debris. When it is overly dirty, the quality of the air in your home reflects this which makes it more difficult to breathe. Respiratory illnesses also occur more regularly
- Less cleaning - when filters are clean and can do their job, less dust makes its way onto the surfaces of your home. This means less dusting, mopping, and wiping for you!
Signs Your Heater Needs Replacement
Many people wait until the last minute to replace their furnace which leaves them in the cold until a new one is purchased and installed. If you know what to look for, you will know your furnace is in need of replacement long before this happens. This allows you to act quickly, lessens the financial blow of this sizable purchase, and keeps your family comfortable:
- Age - most furnaces operate efficiently for about 18-20 years. If your furnace is nearing this age and is showing other signs of failure, you may need to consider a new one
- Repairs - a furnace requiring frequent or costly repairs (especially if it is nearing 18 years old) may need to be replaced
- Energy bills - over the course of its life, a furnace’s efficiency will drop. When this happens, your energy bill will increase drastically

Importance of Regular HVAC Maintenance
Regular maintenance of your HVAC system is crucial for ensuring its longevity and optimal performance. By scheduling routine tune-ups and inspections, you can extend the life of your unit, improve energy efficiency, and maintain better indoor air quality. This preventative approach can save you from costly breakdowns and repairs down the line.
Timely filter replacements and professional cleaning of the system components can enhance airflow, reduce energy consumption, and create a healthier living environment for your family. Investing in regular HVAC maintenance is a small price to pay for the long-term benefits it provides.
Signs Your Heating System Needs Replacement
As furnaces age, their efficiency and reliability can decline, leading to increased energy bills and the risk of unexpected breakdowns. If your heating system is approaching 18-20 years of age and requires frequent or costly repairs, it may be time to consider a replacement.
Additionally, if you notice a significant spike in your energy costs or your furnace is no longer able to maintain a comfortable temperature throughout your home, these could be signs that it's time for an upgrade. Replacing an aging or inefficient heating system can improve your home's comfort, lower your utility expenses, and provide peace of mind.

Confused/ poor customer service skills
Caleb - Eldon, MO65026
I was quoted $1,100 for an LED panel installation on a part that seems to retail between $80–$100. Unless I’m missing something, $1,000 purely for labor feels excessive. Would this job take 8 hours? What is the hourly rate here? I was genuinely confused- and didn’t even feel comfortable to ask my questions as the tech made it clear he didn’t have time for them via tone and body language. When I expressed that confusion and hesitation, I was met with poor customer service. The technician spoke to me in a condescending tone and even asked, “Well, how much did you think it was going to cost?” — which felt dismissive and unprofessional. Isn’t providing a clear and reasonable quote the technician’s role? I have over 5 years of management experience, and while that may not mean much in this field, it’s more than enough to recognize when a customer interaction is handled poorly. In this case, the technician (Tim) was impatient, pushy, and seemed biased toward me based on my age. He insisted on “running it up the chain” for a decision even after I made it clear we would not be moving forward. I won’t be returning or recommending this company in any capacity. I’m not seeking outreach or follow-up — I simply want to share my experience in case the company holds itself to a higher standard than what was demonstrated.
Great service!!
