Q? What is your equipment warranty?

A. Some companies offer a warranty on the equipment they install, but they don't tell you if that warranty is filed in-house or with the equipment manufacturer. If the warranty is registered in-house and you no longer like the company that installed your system, or they go out of business, you are stuck. They hold your warranty. We file the warranty with the manufacturer so that any authorized dealer can and will honor your warranty, ensuring that we continue to earn your business by keeping your options open.

HVAC FAQ in Columbus

A. A furnace filter that becomes dirty in less than an average heating or cooling season may indicate poor air quality. It should be checked or replaced depending on the type of filter at least once a month and changed every three months.

Q? How often does my system need maintenance?

A. We recommend furnace maintenance once a year in the fall before the winter season, and in the spring before the hot weather hits for the air conditioning. The condenser may need more frequent cleaning in the summer depending on where it sits, mowing and cottonwood get sucked into the outside unit and will need to be hosed off with water. Our technicians will be happy to show you how to safely water wash your condenser.
