Why do I need a maintenance contract to service my air conditioner?
Maintenance contracts help us provide more efficiency to our regular customers. Customers who contract T&H Mechanical for regular service benefit from our experience with their home and its air conditioning unit. We can identify and correct potential problems before they happen, proactively. Another benefit: we keep your air conditioner maintenance on the right schedule for its needs. So you don’t have to try to remember when you need service, we’ll remind you. Maintenance contracts include a thorough 18 point system check, full cleaning, coolant charge and important filter change. So your unit is ready for the heat and humidity of summer, and works as it should when you need to use it.
What are some of the advantages of having a Service Contract?
You get more efficiency, and proactive maintenance of your air conditioning equipment. And, you don’t have to remember to schedule your maintenance; we do the scheduling for you. We are also proud that using service contracts has improved our own efficiency at T&H, so we can pass along that savings to our customers: our minimum service charge has been dropped to just $99 from $141, a $42 savings! Increased efficiency on our part means we can offer you billing increments as low as 30 minutes, instead of the hourly incremental billing so common in the heating and air conditioning service business. Maintenance contracts help you to avoid surprises (both in your bill and from your system), and gain efficiencies.

Why is it important to have regular maintenance on my home heating and air conditioning systems?
You wouldn’t buy a brand new car and expect to never have to put air in the tires or change the oil, would you? In the same way that an automobile requires periodic maintenance for optimal performance, a home comfort system should be regularly inspected by a qualified technician. Routine maintenance and proactively identifying any parts or systems in need of repair helps your system be there to perform at its best when you need it to.
How does an air conditioner work?
An air conditioner seems as if it cools your home’s air. But in reality, what it’s doing is removing heat from the indoor air and transferring it to the outdoor air. It’s extracting the heat from your home. How? By passing indoor air across a refrigerant coil in the indoor unit. Refrigerant lines then carry the heat to the outdoor unit, where it is released into the outside air. The cooling cycle continues until the indoor temperature reaches the thermostat setting you selected.
How can I confirm the model and serial numbers for my cooling system?
The model and serial numbers for your cooling system can be found on the nameplate or sticker, located near the service panel.
