    Routine maintenance is a very important step in the long-term life of your air conditioner or furnace. As a result, you’ll want to keep up with regular seasonal maintenance and tune-ups on your HVAC equipment. But when you do call in a heating and cooling contractor for service, make sure you’re calling in the right company!

    Many HVAC contractors use commissioned technicians to perform all their service calls, including routine maintenance. That means the tech who comes out to your home or business has a strong incentive to try to sell you expensive parts or unnecessary equipment—they get paid more if they do! So if you hear about an HVAC service offering low-cost tune-ups (approximately $59 or $69), start asking questions. If they use commissioned service technicians, you can be confident you’re in for a bait-and-switch, and you’ll soon be facing hardball sales tactics touting “solutions” you don’t really need.

    At Hughes Air Heating & Cooling, we’re different. Our team provides a comprehensive 23-point inspection of your HVAC system for just $99. And unlike heating and cooling companies that claim low maintenance call costs and then pressure you into buying unnecessary repairs or equipment, you won’t have to deal with high-pressure sales tactics when you call our professionals. That’s because our technicians don’t earn commissions. That means, unlike with most HVAC contractors, they’re not motivated to try to sell you services and products you don’t need just to pad their paycheck!

    Our 23-point inspection includes testing your heating and cooling system as well as replacing the filters and more. For your convenience, we’re also happy to let you know about our energy-saving maintenance program that can make it even easier and more affordable to keep your HVAC systems in tip-top shape.

    Balancing Cost and Comfort in Your HVAC System

      When it’s time to install a new air conditioner or heat pump, we often hear customers request whatever system costs the least. While staying within your budget is definitely an important consideration, it’s also important to keep in mind that there’s a lot more to your HVAC system than just the price tag. Many lower cost units are less efficient than higher-end air conditioners, for example, so while you’ll spend less to purchase the unit, you’ll spend more to operate it over time.

      That’s why it’s best to go into the process of new HVAC installation with an open mind, instead of immediately leaning toward the most affordable option. Otherwise, you may end up sacrificing your comfort in favor of cost. And since an HVAC system is an investment you’ll be using for many years to come, you could end up facing inadequate heating or cooling, high operational costs, or other negatives for quite some time. You’ll want to look at all the factors to make sure you’re getting the best system for both your budget and your needs.

      At Hughes Air Heating & Cooling, our Trane Comfort Specialists have the in-depth training and product knowledge to provide you with the information you need to make an informed decision. We’ll guide you through the process of selecting a new air conditioner, heat pump, or other system to help you evaluate factors such as efficiency, comfort, cost, and more.

      For example, did you know that some air conditioners are much noisier than others? Some Trane air conditioners include compressor sound insulators that help keep the air conditioner quiet. If your outdoor unit is installed right under your bedroom window, how loud the AC unit is could be a big factor!

      Let Hughes Air Heating & Cooling meet your needs for new AC or heat pump installation. Remember, our service technicians don’t earn commission on the systems they sell you, so you can rest assured that they have your best interests in mind. Call now to get started!
