Our plan covers two visits a year, timed to Loveland's seasons: a heating check in the fall before the cold sets in, and a cooling check in the spring before cottonwood season mats the outdoor coil and the heat arrives. The fall visit reads combustion against our altitude — at 4,982 feet, a furnace checked with sea-level numbers soots quietly all winter and wears its parts out early. We track the schedule and remind you — remembering is the part homeowners actually pay for.
Call (970) 555-0134 to set up a plan or ask what it covers.
What the plan includes
- Fall heating visit: full furnace or heat pump heating inspection — ignition system, flame sensor, blower, heat exchanger visual inspection, carbon monoxide test, condensate drain check, filter replacement, and thermostat verification.
- Spring cooling visit: coil cleaning, refrigerant level check, capacitor and contactor testing, condensate drain flush, blower check, and a full cooling cycle test.
- Written condition report after each visit: what we checked, what we measured, and anything wearing out — with honest timelines, not scare tactics. If a part has two seasons left, the report says so.
- Filter tracking: we note your filter size and condition at each visit and flag the homes that need changes between visits.
- Priority scheduling: plan members calling with a failure go ahead of non-member calls in the queue, and plan visits get booked in the good shoulder-season windows before they fill.
- One call to make: heating, cooling, heat pump, or ductless — the plan covers the home's systems under one arrangement.
Why twice a year, and why those seasons
A furnace and an air conditioner fail in different ways and get stressed in different months. Checking the furnace in fall means weak ignitors and cracked heat exchangers get found while replacement is a choice instead of an emergency. Checking the AC in spring means weak capacitors and low refrigerant get caught before the first 95-degree week, when every HVAC company in the valley is booked out.
Systems under regular maintenance also keep their efficiency. A fouled coil or a slipping blower makes equipment run longer to do the same job, and that shows up in your utility bills month after month.
HVAC Maintenance Plans in Loveland homes
Loveland's environment loads equipment faster than the calendar suggests. Cottonwood season in June mats condenser coils along the Big Thompson and around Lake Loveland, and a system cleaned in April can be wearing a gray blanket by July — plan visits include the coil check that catches it. Wildfire smoke drifting down from the foothills during late-summer fire seasons loads filters three or four times faster than normal, which is why we flag filter condition in writing rather than assuming the standard schedule fits every year.
Altitude matters to the fall visit as well. At 4,982 feet, burners need their combustion checked against our thinner air, and a furnace that soots quietly all winter wears its ignitor and sensors out early. The fall visit includes combustion and CO checks done with Loveland's elevation in mind, not sea-level defaults.
Older homes near downtown with equipment in crawlspaces benefit most of all — those are the systems nobody looks at for years at a time, and they are exactly the ones that fail hard.
What a maintenance plan costs
Most Loveland homeowners pay between $150 and $350 per year for a two-visit maintenance plan covering one furnace and one air conditioner, priced by the number and type of systems in the home. Homes with a heat pump, a boiler, or added mini-split zones price accordingly. Set against one after-hours emergency visit, a plan typically pays for itself the first time it catches a weak part on a Tuesday afternoon instead of a Saturday night.
