Annual furnace and AC tune-ups catch problems before they become emergencies. Save 5-10% on energy bills and avoid costly repairs.
Most homeowners ignore their furnace and air conditioner until something breaks. Then they're paying $1,500 for an emergency repair on a Sunday night. Preventive maintenance costs $150-$250 twice a year (spring for AC, fall for furnace) and prevents 80% of breakdowns. T&T Heating & Cooling offers annual maintenance plans across Lorain, Vermilion, Amherst, Defiance, Napoleon, Elyria, Maumee, and throughout Northeast Ohio. Our EPA-certified technicians inspect, clean, and service your equipment so it runs efficiently year-round. You save money on energy bills, extend your system's life by 5-10 years, and avoid emergency calls. Plus, preventive maintenance often qualifies for extended manufacturer warranties and some utility rebates.
Call (440) 370-6774Your furnace works hard every winter, burning fuel and moving heat through your home. By spring, it's covered in dust and soot buildup inside. Our fall furnace tune-up includes: visual inspection of the heat exchanger, burners, and gas connections for damage or corrosion; cleaning the burner assembly and flame sensor so it ignites reliably; measuring CO (carbon monoxide) levels to ensure safe operation; testing the draft inducer and blower motor; checking thermostat calibration; replacing or cleaning the filter; lubricating motors; and testing all electrical connections. We also inspect the gas line for leaks and verify the system's ability to reach design temperature. This 1-2 hour visit typically costs $150-$250 and catches issues like a worn blower bearing (which would soon cost $400-$700 to replace), a corroded heat exchanger (which requires immediate attention), or improper gas pressure (which affects heating efficiency). We do this before winter so there's time to order parts and schedule repair before the cold hits Amherst and Defiance.
Your air conditioner battles summer heat and humidity. By July, the condenser (outdoor unit) is often caked with dirt, grass, and bug debris. Our spring AC tune-up includes: visual inspection of the outdoor condenser and indoor evaporator coil; cleaning the condenser with specialized equipment (a clogged condenser is why most AC units blow warm air on hot days); cleaning or replacing the air filter; inspecting the ductwork for leaks and blockages; checking refrigerant pressure and testing for leaks with electronic detection; testing the capacitor and fan motor; and verifying the thermostat works properly. We also measure the temperature difference between supply and return air (a sign of proper cooling). This 1-2 hour visit costs $150-$250 and prevents the most common AC problem: frozen evaporator coils (caused by restricted airflow). A properly maintained AC unit delivers reliable cooling from June through September across Lorain, Vermilion, Maumee, and the whole service area.

Or you can enroll in our maintenance plan and we'll schedule both visits automatically, send you reminders, and give you priority scheduling during peak seasons. Plan benefits include: priority dispatch in emergencies, 10-15% discount on parts and labor for repairs (because plan members are our valued customers), early detection of issues, and the peace of mind that your systems are professionally maintained. Plan cost is typically $250-$400 per year (both visits combined) for a single family home. Many homeowners find that one prevented repair pays for the entire year of maintenance. For customers with heat pump systems, which need spring and fall attention to function efficiently year-round, our maintenance plan is especially valuable.
A furnace or AC that gets annual maintenance lasts 15-20 years. One that's ignored might fail at 10-12 years. The difference is regular cleaning, part replacement before failure, and early detection of corrosion or wear. A $200 maintenance visit that catches a worn blower bearing—which would soon seize and destroy the motor—saves you $600-$800. A spring AC tune-up that cleans a dirty condenser prevents a $2,000 compressor failure by keeping the unit cool. Over 15 years, preventive maintenance adds 5-10 years to your equipment's life and saves thousands in emergency repairs. Plus, you maintain manufacturer warranty coverage. Most furnace and AC warranties require annual maintenance to remain valid.
A dirty furnace or AC wastes energy. The burners don't ignite cleanly, the blower works harder to push air through a clogged filter, the evaporator coil can't absorb heat efficiently if it's covered in dust, and the condenser overheats if it's blocked with debris. These inefficiencies spike your heating and cooling bills. Our maintenance—cleaning, filter replacement, proper lubrication, and adjustment—restores efficiency. Most customers see 5-10% reduction in heating and cooling costs after receiving annual maintenance. In Northeast Ohio's cold winters and hot summers, that's $50-$200 per month in savings. A year of maintenance ($300-$400) pays for itself 1-2 times over through lower utility bills with Lorain Edison or AEP Ohio. Plus, modern efficient systems (SEER ratings, AFUE ratings) require maintenance to deliver their rated efficiency.
We keep detailed records of every maintenance visit—what we inspected, what we cleaned, what we tested, and what we found. These records are important if you ever need to make a manufacturer warranty claim. Many warranty disputes are denied because the homeowner has no proof of maintenance. We provide you a written report after each visit and maintain your service history in our system. If you sell your home in Elyria, Napoleon, or elsewhere in Northeast Ohio, maintenance records make the HVAC system a selling point—the next owner knows it's been professionally cared for. Some home inspection contingencies even waive further inspection if you provide maintenance records.
Just installed a new furnace, AC, or heat pump system? Enroll in our maintenance plan to protect your investment. New systems are reliable but need regular care to perform optimally. Many homeowners shift from reactive ("call us when it breaks") to proactive ("maintain it so it never breaks"). The first year of maintenance on a new system is especially valuable—it ensures installation quality, adjusts calibration if needed, and catches any factory defects during the warranty period. We also handle new system commissioning (final checkout) and the first year's maintenance plan is often discounted for new install customers.
