What is worth doing before each season?
Before heating season: change the filter, clear anything stacked against the furnace, test the carbon monoxide alarms, and disconnect the garden hoses. Before cooling season: rinse the outdoor coil with the power off, cut back whatever has grown within two feet of it, and pour a cup of vinegar down the condensate line. Both of those lists take under an hour and prevent a meaningful share of the calls we take at the start of each season.
Who pulls the permit, and does it matter?
We do, and yes. A permit means an independent inspector looks at the gas, the venting and the electrical on work that can hurt you if it is wrong. Which authority issues it changes from town to town around here more than people expect, and a contractor who has only worked one county sometimes files in the wrong place. It also matters when you sell: unpermitted work on a system is the kind of thing that surfaces during a sale and gets negotiated against you.
How do I check that a contractor is legitimate?
Three things, and all three are quick. Ask for the Ohio license number and look it up rather than taking the sticker on the van as proof. Ask whether they carry liability insurance and workers' compensation, because if someone is hurt in your house and the answer is no, that becomes your problem. And ask who is actually coming: some companies subcontract the install to whoever is available. None of those questions are rude, and the reaction you get to asking them tells you almost as much as the answers.
Is a maintenance membership worth it, or should I just pay per visit?
Do the arithmetic on your own house rather than on the brochure. Two tune-ups a year at the published price is the baseline, and the membership adds a reduced service call, a discount on repairs and priority scheduling. If you have one system and it is newer, paying per visit is perfectly reasonable. If you have two systems, or older equipment, or the kind of house where a no-heat night is a real problem, the queue position tends to be worth more than the discount.
How do I book a visit?
Call (844) 584-7399 and you get a person, or book online in about a minute. If it's no heat, no cooling in a heat wave, or water where it shouldn't be, call rather than booking. That goes straight to the 24/7 line. The Beavercreek office also takes calls direct on (937) 431-7399.
