The Comfort HVAC maintenance plan: two visits, cooling and heating

Spring and fall maintenance, priority scheduling ahead of non-members, and no dispatch fee on a completed repair. The plan most South Louisiana homes actually need.

Overview

The second visit is what you are really buying, and it is the one people are most tempted to skip. A system here does two completely different jobs, and only one of them gets tested in summer.

It runs almost continuously through a long, humid cooling season. Then it sits idle for months and gets asked to produce heat on the first genuinely cold night in November or December, usually the same night everybody else in the parish asks theirs to do the same thing.

What’s included

  • Two tune-ups a year: cooling and heating
  • Everything in Essential
  • 15% discount on repairs
  • No dispatch fee when we complete a repair
  • Priority scheduling ahead of non-members
  • Standard filters included

Right for you if

  • One system, between roughly five and fifteen years old
  • Losing cooling for two days would be a real problem
  • Someone home during the day, a baby, or a health reason to care
  • You would rather not pay a dispatch fee twice a year
  • You want to be ahead of the queue in August

Not the right plan if

You run two systems, or there is refrigeration equipment on the property. The tune-ups here cover one system: a second is not half-covered, it is uncovered. Total Care exists for exactly that.

What it saves you

The failures that follow a hard summer do not show up in summer. They show up on the first cold night, which is both the worst night to discover them and the hardest night to get a technician to your door. The heating-season visit exists to find them in October, while there is still time and nobody is in a queue.

Then there is the dispatch fee. Most contractors in this area charge one to come out at all, before any repair is priced. Two avoided dispatch fees and one modest repair at the member discount will typically cover a year of this plan on their own. The tune-ups are what you get on top.

Priority scheduling is worth being precise about, because it is the benefit most often oversold. It means members go ahead of non-members on the days a queue exists. It does not mean instant, and it does not mean an emergency goes unanswered if you are not a member. Trey answers emergency calls personally either way. What it changes is the ordinary hot Tuesday in August when six people call at once.

Common questions

Why do I need two HVAC visits a year?

Because heating and cooling are two different jobs and only one gets exercised in summer. A South Louisiana system runs flat out from April to October, then sits for months before being asked to make heat on the coldest night of the year. The autumn visit catches what the summer did, before the first cold snap finds it for you.

When are the two visits scheduled?

One before cooling season and one before heating season, broadly spring and autumn. We contact you to book them; you do not have to remember.

What does priority scheduling actually mean?

Members are placed ahead of non-members in the queue on days when there is a queue. It is not a guaranteed response time, and it does not mean a non-member with an emergency gets ignored. It matters most on the handful of days a year when everyone calls at once.

Is an HVAC maintenance plan worth it, or should I just call when something breaks?

If your system is newer than about five years and has never faulted, the argument is weaker. Between five and fifteen years, the plan usually pays for itself the first time it prevents an after-hours call or catches a failing capacitor before it takes the compressor with it. Past fifteen, the honest conversation is often about replacement rather than either.

Can I cancel?

Yes. Ask Trey how the current terms work before you sign. We would rather explain it up front than have you find out later.

Two visits, one call to set up.

Ask Trey whether Comfort fits your system, or whether you need less than this.
