What is included in a Zoom Air HVAC Scheduled Maintenance Program?

At Zoom Air we offer 2 visit and 4 visit residential scheduled maintenance programs.

By signing up for an HVAC Scheduled Maintenance program, you hand the worry and responsibility over to us – we'll contact you when your next visit is due (either 3 or 6 months apart) and schedule a convenient time. Many rental property owners have found our Scheduled Maintenance programs a great help in providing uncomplicated, dependable service for their tenants. With today's active families, this is one less headache.

Don't be fooled by so-called "Spring and Fall Tune-up Specials" advertised by other companies as low as $19.95. These visits aren't the extensive service as outlined below and are really designed to gain access to your equipment in order to get in your door and charge a much higher price for repairs. On the Scheduled Maintenance Program, we include cleaning the burners and heat exchanger at the heating inspection. And, we clean the outdoor condenser coil at the cooling inspection. These services are typically charged for separately. Know the right questions to ask when comparing other prices!

And last but not least, the value of Scheduled Maintenance is only as good as the knowledge, expertise and experience of the technician performing the service. At Zoom Air, Inc. you can be assured of honest, efficient and professional service for all your system needs!
