We recommend a cooling inspection in spring and a heating inspection in fall, before peak Louisiana demand. And we name the work: a vague 'tune-up' description doesn't tell you what was actually inspected.
What a real tune-up includes
- Condensate drain and pan clearing and testing
- Electrical component and capacitor check
- Refrigerant performance and temperature-split measurement
- Airflow, static pressure, and filter assessment
- Coil condition and corrosion inspection
- Thermostat calibration and dehumidification check
What affects your price
Figures below are published local benchmarks and non-binding estimates — never a quote. You'll get every charge in writing first.
- Published tune-up benchmark $100–$250 per visit
- Single visit vs. annual plan with two visits
- System type and number of units
- Add-ons like coil cleaning or drain treatment
What's included with hvac maintenance in Covington
Every hvac maintenance job is scoped and documented up front — here's what you get when we roll up to your Northshore home or business.
- Spring cooling tune-up with coil cleaning, charge check, and drain clearing before summer
- Fall heating tune-up with burner or heat-pump inspection and safety-control checks
- Evaporator and condenser coil cleaning to fight the grime our humidity encourages
- Condensate drain flush to prevent the algae backups common in our wet climate
- Filter replacement and airflow check during heavy pine pollen season
- Electrical connection, capacitor, and amp-draw testing to catch failures early
- Maintenance plan option with documented readings that track your system over time
Why maintenance matters more here
In a humid climate, the condensate system is doing constant work, and a clog can shut the equipment down or send water toward a ceiling. Clearing and testing the drain each season is one of the highest-value checks we perform.
Coils near Lake Pontchartrain corrode faster from salt air, and spring pine pollen blankets outdoor units across the north parish. Cleaning and inspecting those surfaces protects efficiency and extends equipment life.
Maintenance plans, in writing
Published tune-up pricing in the broader Louisiana and metro benchmark runs about $100–$250; we'll confirm the actual scope and fee. Before enrolling in any plan, you should get the fee, visit frequency, included tests, repair discounts, emergency terms, cancellation rules, and equipment exclusions in writing.
- Twice-yearly visits (spring cooling, fall heating)
- Priority emergency scheduling
- Repair discounts for members
- Clear exclusions and cancellation terms
Our hvac maintenance process
Test first, document everything, and get your sign-off before the work happens — no guesswork, no surprises.
- 1
Schedule with the seasons
We tune cooling in spring and heating in fall so each system is ready before Covington's heat or cold arrives.
- 2
Clean what humidity fouls
We clean coils and flush the condensate drain, the two things our ~72% humidity punishes hardest.
- 3
Catch pollen and airflow issues
We replace filters and check airflow, which matters when pine pollen coats everything in spring.
- 4
Test the electricals
We measure capacitors, connections, and amp draw to catch a weak part before it strands you mid-season.
- 5
Document and plan
We log the readings and offer a maintenance plan so small changes get caught before they become breakdowns.
