Heating and cooling systems should be professionally serviced twice a year — the AC in spring and the heat in fall. A Two Brothers tune-up cleans coils and burners, checks refrigerant, electrical components, and safety controls, and catches small problems before they become no-heat or no-AC emergencies. Maintenance is also how most manufacturer warranties stay valid.
Why Maintenance Pays for Itself
A neglected system costs more to run and fails sooner. Regular service is the cheapest thing you can do for your HVAC equipment:
- Lower energy bills — clean coils and correct refrigerant charge restore the efficiency you paid for.
- Fewer breakdowns — most emergency calls trace back to a small part that a tune-up would have caught.
- Longer equipment life — maintained systems routinely last years longer than neglected ones.
- Valid warranty — most manufacturers require documented annual service to honor parts coverage.

How much does an HVAC tune-up cost?
A single seasonal tune-up typically costs $100 to $200. A two-visit annual plan is usually the better value and includes priority scheduling. Call for current pricing — we quote it upfront.
How often should HVAC be serviced?
Twice a year: the air conditioner in spring before the first hot spell and the heating system in fall before the first freeze. Filters should be changed every one to three months in between.
Is maintenance really necessary if the system is working fine?
Yes. Most failures build up quietly — a weak capacitor, a dirty coil, low refrigerant — and only show up on the hottest or coldest day. Maintenance also keeps manufacturer warranties valid, which matters most on newer systems.
Does the Brothers Club cover heating and cooling?
Yes. The Brothers Club is one membership for the whole house: members pay no $110 diagnostic fee on heating and cooling visits and no trip fees on plumbing visits, get priority scheduling and 10% off every repair, and receive an annual heating, cooling and whole-home plumbing inspection. $19 a month, cancel anytime.
