What’s Included in Our Preventative Maintenance Plan?
Preventative maintenance is one of the premier services provided by our team, and we offer both plumbing and HVAC preventative maintenance plans. We recommend having your HVAC system serviced two times per year (spring and fall), as it will help keep your system running properly and efficiently. With the proper maintenance, homeowners can save up to 30% on their energy bills. As a bonus, all of our preventative maintenance plan customers will receive 10% off on all repairs, service calls, and new installations as well as priority service over non-plan customers!
Purchasing a Kobella Preventative Maintenance Plan for heating and cooling includes two visits per year (one in spring, one in fall). During the heating and cooling visit, the technician will check and inspect:
- Thermostat accuracy
- Disconnect power box
- Heat exchanger (with camera)
- Furnace safety control
- Fan control
- Electrical connections and components
- Refrigerant charge
- Gas valve operations
- Condensate drain
- Gas pressure
- Ignition system
- Heat element
- Pumps
- Blowers
- Burner assembly
The Kobella technician will also lubricate moving parts, clean coils and fins on outdoor units, test cycle for proper operation, ensure proper airflow, and look for refrigerant leaks.
Preventative maintenance helps increase the efficiency of your HVAC system, ensures that your utility bills stay as low as possible, and gives you peace of mind knowing your system will function properly when you need it.

4 Benefits of Annual Air Conditioner Maintenance
Maintenance service is one of the best things you can do for your home’s air conditioning system. Here are the main benefits you’ll enjoy:
- Increased efficiency and decreased energy bills: By keeping your air conditioner in top shape with regular service, you ensure the system can perform to its highest potential. The harder your air conditioner has to work, the more expensive your utility bills will be.
- Improved reliability and reduced risk of breakdown: Regular AC maintenance helps us catch any faulty or worn parts and other complications early so that we can correct them with small repairs. Neglecting maintenance can lead to major (expensive) repairs and the inconvenience of air conditioner failure when you’re relying on your system the most.
- Better indoor air quality and less airborne dust: With regular cleanings, there’s little dust in the AC system to recirculate around your home.
- Extended air conditioner life and delayed replacement costs: Our air conditioner tune-up keeps cooling equipment clean, lubricated, and properly adjusted, so that it runs smoothly all summer long, avoiding internal damage. This helps your system serve you well, and efficiently, for more than a decade, ensuring you get the most out of your investment.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I get my air conditioner serviced?
At a minimum, your air conditioner needs a tune-up at least once annually, but ideally, it should be maintained twice a year: once in the spring, before the hottest months hit, and once in the fall before your A/C goes into hibernation. This helps to keep your air conditioner at peak performance, giving you more comfortable summers.
Pro Tip: Schedule your A/C maintenance windows to line up with Daylight Savings Time. After a few seasons, it’ll become second nature to make your call to Kobella every time you change the clocks.
What can I do to increase the life of my A/C between maintenance windows?
Outside of hiring a professional twice a year to give your air conditioner a complete tune-up there are a few things you can do yourself to keep your A/C purring like a kitten. Replace the filter every 1-2 months; the filter collects all the dirt and dust you would otherwise be breathing, and can also bog down the unit if not changed regularly. Speaking of dust, keep the unit itself clear of dirt and debris. We know how easy it can be to skimp on cleaning the HVAC closet, but even a quick sweep and dusting can work wonders.
Pro Tip: When you’re scheduling your maintenance, mark your filter changes on your calendar for the next six months so you don’t forget!
What can go wrong if I don’t get my A/C serviced?
We hope you never have to find out! In the best-case scenario, skipping regular maintenance means you may have to deal with costly repairs. And in the worst-cases (which we’ve seen plenty of times!), you’ll
find yourself sweating through August and purchasing a brand-new A/C much earlier than you’d typically need a replacement.
Pro Tip: If you really do want to hear the horror stories of a fried air conditioner, ask your Kobella technician at your next scheduled maintenance! Our tales will have you all the more grateful you called.
