Prepare Your AC for Summer With Seasonal Maintenance

Preparing your air conditioner for the summer heat is essential to ensure reliable performance, energy efficiency, and indoor comfort. At Touchstone Heating & Air Inc., our seasonal maintenance services are designed to get your system ready for the busiest cooling months, helping you avoid unexpected breakdowns and high utility bills.

First, our certified technicians perform a thorough inspection of your system. We start by replacing or cleaning air filters to improve airflow and indoor air quality. Clogged filters force your AC to work harder, increasing energy consumption and wear on components. Next, we clean the evaporator and condenser coils, which tend to collect dirt and debris over time. Clean coils allow heat to dissipate more effectively, reducing strain on the compressor and lowering your energy costs.

Checking refrigerant levels is another critical step. Low refrigerant can lead to poor cooling performance and potential compressor damage. Our team at Touchstone Heating & Air Inc. will identify and repair any leaks before topping off with the correct amount of refrigerant. We also inspect all electrical connections, tightening loose wires and testing capacitors and contactors to prevent failure during peak use.

To ensure proper drainage, we clear the condensate drain line. A blocked drain can cause water damage and increase humidity levels inside your home or business. Finally, we calibrate and test your thermostat to verify accurate temperature readings and efficient cycling.

Benefits of our seasonal maintenance include:

• Improved energy efficiency and lower utility bills
• Reduced risk of mid-summer breakdowns
  Extended equipment lifespan
• Enhanced cooling performance and indoor comfort

At Touchstone Heating & Air Inc., we understand that a well-maintained air conditioner is key to a stress-free summer. Our preventive approach not only saves you money but also provides peace of mind, knowing your system is in top condition. Don’t wait for the heatwave—schedule your seasonal AC maintenance with Touchstone Heating & Air Inc. today and stay cool all summer long.

Get Your Heating System Ready for Winter with a Tune-Up

Getting your heating system tuned up before winter arrives is one of the best ways to ensure reliable, efficient performance when you need it most. At Touchstone Heating & Air Inc., our winter tune-up service is designed to prepare your furnace or heat pump for the season’s demands, helping you avoid unexpected breakdowns and costly emergency repairs.

During a professional tune-up, our certified technicians will:

• Replace or clean air filters to promote proper airflow and improve indoor air quality.
  Inspect the heat exchanger or heat pump coils for cracks, corrosion, and buildup that can impair performance or pose safety risks.

• Clear and flush the condensate drain to prevent clogs and water damage.

These comprehensive checks not only restore peak efficiency but also uncover minor issues—such as worn belts or low refrigerant levels—before they develop into major problems. A well-tuned system operates more smoothly, uses less energy, and maintains consistent comfort throughout your home or business.

By investing in a winter tune-up from Touchstone Heating & Air Inc., you’ll enjoy lower utility bills thanks to improved system efficiency, fewer mid-season service calls, and an extended equipment lifespan. You’ll also gain peace of mind, knowing that your heating system has been thoroughly inspected and tuned by professionals.

Don’t wait until the first cold snap catches you off guard. Schedule your heating system tune-up with Touchstone Heating & Air Inc. today, and rest easy all winter knowing your comfort—and your budget—are protected.

The Importance of Regular Seasonal HVAC Inspections

Regular seasonal HVAC inspections are vital to maintaining comfort, efficiency, and safety in your home or business. At Touchstone Heating & Air Inc., we recommend scheduling inspections at least twice a year—once in the spring before cooling season and once in the fall before heating season—to ensure your system operates at peak performance all year long.

During a seasonal inspection, our NATE-certified technicians perform comprehensive checks that include:

• Cleaning and inspecting coils, filters, and ducts to improve airflow and indoor air quality.
• Verifying refrigerant levels and testing for leaks to prevent inefficient cooling and costly repairs.
• Examining electrical connections, controls, and safety switches to reduce the risk of system failures or fire hazards.
• Calibrating thermostats and checking airflow to maintain consistent temperatures and energy savings.
• Assessing blower motors, belts, and bearings to identify wear and prevent unexpected breakdowns.

These inspections not only optimize your system’s efficiency—lowering utility bills by up to 25%—but also extend the lifespan of your equipment by catching minor issues before they become major problems. A routine check can uncover early signs of corrosion, refrigerant leaks, or electrical faults that, if left unaddressed, could result in expensive emergency repairs or premature system replacement.

Safety is another key benefit of regular inspections. A well-tuned HVAC system ensures proper ventilation and prevents the buildup of harmful gases like carbon monoxide. Our thorough safety checks give you peace of mind, knowing that your heating and cooling systems meet industry standards and local building codes.

At Touchstone Heating & Air Inc., we pride ourselves on delivering reliable, transparent service. Our seasonal inspections include a detailed report of findings and recommendations, so you always understand your system’s condition and any necessary maintenance. By partnering with us for regular inspections, you protect your investment, maintain a comfortable indoor environment, and avoid the stress of unexpected breakdowns.

How Seasonal Maintenance Extends System Lifespan

Regular seasonal maintenance is key to prolonging the life of your HVAC system and protecting your investment. At Touchstone Heating & Air Inc., we’ve seen firsthand how a proactive approach—tuned to the changing demands of each season—keeps equipment running smoothly far beyond its expected lifespan. By scheduling a spring and fall maintenance visit, you ensure that small issues are caught and corrected before they evolve into major failures.

During each seasonal tune-up, our certified technicians perform a thorough inspection and servicing of critical components. We clean or replace air filters to prevent airflow restrictions, clear debris from evaporator and condenser coils to improve heat transfer, and check refrigerant levels to avoid compressor strain. Electrical connections are tightened, capacitors and relays are tested, and motors are lubricated to reduce friction and wear. We also calibrate thermostats and verify safety controls, ensuring your system operates efficiently and safely under all conditions.

These routine tasks may seem minor, but they have a major impact on system longevity. Clean coils and filters reduce energy consumption and prevent overheating; properly lubricated motors and secured wiring avert premature breakdowns; and accurate refrigerant levels guard against compressor damage—a repair that often costs more than half the price of a new system. By addressing wear and tear at every seasonal service, your HVAC unit experiences less stress, runs more efficiently, and accrues far fewer repair bills over its lifetime.

At Touchstone Heating & Air Inc., we back our maintenance services with detailed reports and personalized recommendations, so you always know exactly where your system stands. Our NATE- and EPA-certified technicians bring years of experience and industry best practices to every visit. With our comprehensive seasonal maintenance plan, you’ll enjoy consistent comfort, lower energy bills, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing your HVAC system is cared for year-round, extending its lifespan and maximizing your value.

Energy Savings with Preventative Seasonal HVAC Care

Regular preventative seasonal HVAC care is one of the most effective ways to achieve significant energy savings while extending the life of your system. At Touchstone Heating & Air Inc., we recommend scheduling maintenance visits each spring and fall to ensure your heating and cooling equipment is operating at peak efficiency—helping you reduce energy consumption and lower utility bills.

During a preventative service, our NATE- and EPA-certified technicians perform a series of energy-focused inspections and adjustments:

• Air filter replacement: Clogged filters can increase energy use by up to 15%, as the system works harder to draw air through blocked media. Clean filters restore proper airflow and improve indoor air quality.
• Coil cleaning: Dirt and debris on evaporator and condenser coils reduce heat transfer efficiency. By removing buildup, your system uses less power to maintain desired temperatures.
• Refrigerant level check: Incorrect refrigerant charge forces compressors to run longer and cycle more frequently, driving up energy costs. We locate and repair leaks, then recharge the system to the manufacturer’s specifications.

Beyond these core steps, we also tighten electrical connections, lubricate moving parts, and calibrate thermostats. Loose wiring increases resistance and energy draw, while dry bearings create friction that forces motors to consume more power. An accurately calibrated thermostat prevents over-cooling or overheating by ensuring the system cycles on and off precisely when needed.

Moreover, our technicians inspect ductwork for leaks and insulation gaps. Sealing ducts can reduce conditioned-air losses by as much as 20%, directly translating into lower heating and cooling expenses.

At Touchstone Heating & Air Inc., our comprehensive seasonal HVAC care not only saves energy but also prevents costly breakdowns and extends equipment life. By investing in regular maintenance, you’ll enjoy more consistent comfort, fewer emergency repairs, and the satisfaction of knowing your system is tuned for maximum efficiency. Schedule your spring or fall HVAC tune-up with Touchstone Heating & Air Inc. today—and start seeing the energy-saving benefits immediately.
