"One Hour Comfort Club" Maintenance Plan

Many problems go undetected until your unit breaks down. These problems can affect the efficiency of your unit causing your operating costs to increase. With regular maintenance, we can keep your system operating efficiently, help you to reduce your energy costs, and reduce expensive repair bills by fixing the problems that cause them.

• You are paying DOUBLE operating costs with no increase in comfort by not fixing most air conditioning and heating problems.
• Up to 80% of all air conditioning and heat pump compressor failures could be eliminated if the problems that lead to the failure were corrected in a timely manner.
• Just 100th of an inch of dirt or film on an evaporator coil can reduce its efficiency by 5%.
• "Freon" or refrigerant, should never need to be replaced. If it must be added every year, there is an expensive leak that should be repaired. An undercharge of only 10% can increase operating costs by almost 20%.

Our "One Hour Comfort Club" Maintenance Plan includes:

• Two (2) Precision Tune-ups per year
• 20% Discount on all repair services
• FREE Diagnostic Charge ever --- No Overtime charges either
• Priority Customer Status
• 24-Hour Priority Emergency Service.
• Extended Equipment Life
• Agreement is Transferable
• Improved Efficiency
• Improved Safety
• Improved Capacity
• Inflation Protection

Maintenance Procedures for all systems
(A = AIR CONDITIONING SEASON, H = HEATING SEASON, C = COMBINATION)

• (AHC) AIR FILTERS - Inspect and Replace as needed (Filters are supplied by customer). Value to You - A dirty filter restricts air flow which causes the system to work harder and run longer which waste energy and shorten the life of the equipment.
• (AH) AIR FLOW & AIR TEMPS - Measure and Record. Value to You - An accurate record of your equipment's operating data can indicate potential problems that can lead to future equipment failure.
• (AC) BLOWER WHEEL - Inspect and Clean as needed. Value to You - The blower wheel collects the dirt that gets though the air filter. A dirty blower causes the blower motor to work harder which wastes energy and shortens the life of the motor.
• (AC) CONDENSATE DRAIN - Inspect and Clean as needed. Value to You - A clogged condensate drain can shut down the equipment and/or overflow and cause property damage.
• (A) CONDENSER COIL - Inspect for Refrigerant Leaks and Clean as needed. (This coil picks up dirt from the outside air such as cut grass, leaves, etc.) Value to You - A dirty coil restricts heat transfer which causes the system to work harder and run longer which waste energy and shorten the life of equipment.
• (AH) CONTROLS & SAFETIES - Inspect and Test for proper operation. Value to You - Improper operation can shut the equipment down unnecessarily or not shut the equipment down when an unsafe condition occurs.
• (HC) CRANKCASE HEATER - Inspect and Test for proper operation. Value to You - A bad crankcase heater can cause a compressor failure.
• (C) DUCT WORK - Inspect for leaks or damage. Value to You - Leaky duct work will waste energy and spread dust and other contaminants in the home.
• (AH) ELECTRICAL WIRING & COMPONENTS - Inspect and Test for proper voltage and amperage. Loose connections will be tightened. Value to You - Worn contacts and loose connections can cause electrical shorts or lead to motor or compressor failure.
• (AH) EVAPORATOR COIL - Inspect for Refrigerant leaks and dirt. (Cleaning of this coil is NOT INCLUDED in the price of the agreement but will be cleaned at discounted service rate if needed) (This coil gets dirty when air filter gets dirty) Value to You - A dirty coil restricts heat transfer which causes the system to work harder and run longer which waste energy and shorten the life of the equipment.
• (AHC) MOTORS - Inspect, Oil (as needed), and Test for proper voltage and amperage draws. Value to You - Over amping motors waste energy and are early signs of motor failure.
• (AH) REFRIGERANT CHARGE - Check operating pressures for proper refrigerant charge and add up to two pounds of refrigerant per year per system if needed. Value to You - An improper charge will waste energy and cause compressor or coil failure.
• (AHC) THERMOSTAT - Test thermostat for proper operation. Value to You - Improper operation will cause the unit to run too long or too short which will create an uncomfortable air temperature and will waste energy.

Maintenance Procedures - GAS SYSTEMS ONLY

• (H) BURNERS (Gas Systems Only) - Inspect and Clean as needed. Value to You - Dirty burners cause poor combustion which can create a fire hazard. Poor combustion also reduces heating capacity and increases gas consumption.
• (H) COMBUSTION AIR (Gas Systems Only) - Inspect and make recommendations. Value to You - Blocked or restricted combustion air openings will keep your furnace from burning properly and therefore waste energy and could create health risks.
• (H) GAS LINES (Gas Systems Only) - Inspect and leak checked from the furnace shut off valve to the burners. Value to You - Undetected gas leaks are a fire hazard and can be lethal.
• (HC) HEAT EXCHANGERS (Gas Systems Only) - Inspect for cracks and deterioration. Value to You - Because they are constantly expanding and contracting, all heat exchangers are prone to develop cracks with age. Cracked heat exchangers let carbon monoxide escape which is extremely dangerous.

Maintenance Procedures - HEAT PUMPS ONLY

• (H) AUXILIARY HEAT STRIPS (Heat Pumps Only) - Inspect and Test for proper operation. Value to You - Bad heat strips will either run too long and therefore waste electricity or they will not work at all.
• (H) DEFROST CONTROLS (Heat Pumps Only) - Inspect and Test for proper operation. Value to You - A bad defrost control can cause the compressor to run too long which will waste energy and shorten the life of the compressor.
• (AHC) REVERSING VALVE (Heat Pumps Only) - Inspect and Test for proper operation. Value to You - A bad reversing valve will keep the heat pump from switching from heat to cool or cool to heat.
