Scheduling

Maintenance visits are scheduled exclusively from Monday to Friday, between 9 AM and 3 PM. For homes and businesses with more than three systems, appointments will be prioritized in the earlier part of this window, considering the time required for each maintenance visit—typically one hour per system, with the aim of completing the service as efficiently as possible.

Transfers

Our maintenance agreements are transferable to new owners or commercial tenants if the need arises. You also have the option to transfer your AAA maintenance agreement to a new property within our service area. Please note that additional systems or special filters may incur extra fees. It’s essential to be aware that there are no refunds for partially used maintenance agreement visits. Your commitment ensures continuous care for your HVAC systems.

Quoting Commercial

For commercial properties, our dedicated crews will conduct a thorough survey to ascertain accurate system and filter counts for crafting a tailored contract. A nominal fee of $79 is associated with the initial survey visit, payable at the time of scheduling. However, rest assured that this fee will be deducted from the proposal should you decide to choose our services. We prioritize precision to provide you with a customized plan that aligns perfectly with your commercial HVAC needs.

What Can I Do Myself?

Trimming away overgrown brush is not included in the AAA Maintenance service, as we do not carry the necessary tools for this specific task. However, it is crucial to ensure your AC unit does not reach such a state. Maintain at least 5 inches of clearance around the unit to allow proper airflow. The fins of the unit draw in air, and any obstruction can lead to poor performance or even critical failure. Failure to maintain adequate clearance could impact the warranty’s validity.

Be proactive in landscaping around your AC unit—avoid planting shrubbery too close. Your unit needs space to breathe. Ensure optimal performance and longevity by giving it the room it requires. Let it breathe!

Filters Need To Be Checked Regulaly

Standard pleated filters typically have a maximum estimated lifespan of 90 days. It is advisable to inspect these filters on a monthly basis. For larger filters known as “media filters,” generally 4 to 5 inches thick, the estimated lifespan can range from 6 to 12 months, contingent upon your home’s environment. Factors such as the presence of animals, high dust areas, home repairs, and frequent open doors may contribute to a shorter lifespan for your filters. Regular monitoring and timely replacement are crucial for optimal HVAC system performance.

Don't Let This Happen!

Air Conditioners Need To Breathe Too!

Renovating? Power Down Your HVAC for Optimal Results!

During home remodeling, drywall repairs, or painting projects, it is strongly advised to refrain from running your HVAC system. These activities often generate dust, debris, and particulate matter that can compromise the system’s efficiency and air quality. The fine particles produced during such tasks can clog air filters, diminish airflow, and potentially cause damage to the system components.

To mitigate the impact on your HVAC system, consider taking the following measures:

Temporary Shutdown: Temporarily turn off your HVAC system during the remodeling or painting process to prevent the circulation of airborne particles throughout your home.
Invest in Additional Filters: Purchase additional air filters and keep them on hand. The increased dust and debris generated during renovations may require more frequent filter changes to maintain optimal system performance.
Regular Monitoring: Periodically check and change the filters to prevent clogging and maintain proper airflow. This is especially important in environments with ongoing renovations.

By taking these precautions, you not only protect your HVAC system from potential damage but also ensure the air circulating in your home remains clean and healthy. Remember, a little extra care during renovation projects can go a long way in preserving the longevity and efficiency of your HVAC system.
