Take care of it between visits.
A few simple habits keep heating and cooling equipment running longer and breaking down less. Here is what you can handle yourself, and what is worth having a technician do before each season.
Gas furnace
Do yourself, regularly
- Change the air filter every 1 to 3 months while the heat is running
- Keep supply vents open and clear of furniture, rugs, and curtains
- Keep the area around the furnace clear of boxes, paint, and chemicals
- Make sure carbon monoxide detectors are installed and working
- Note any new noises, odd smells, or rooms that stop heating evenly
Have us do before heating season
- Safety check: heat exchanger, burners, and ignition
- Gas connections and flue venting inspection
- Blower, belts, and electrical components
- Thermostat check and carbon monoxide test
Air conditioner
Do yourself, regularly
- Change the filter every month during cooling season
- Keep the outdoor unit clear, with about 2 feet of space and no leaves, grass, or mulch piled against it
- Hose off the outdoor coils gently, with the power off first
- Keep the condensate drain clear and watch for water pooling near the indoor unit
- Keep indoor vents open and unblocked
Have us do before cooling season
- Refrigerant level and leak check
- Indoor and outdoor coil cleaning
- Electrical, capacitor, and contactor inspection
- Condensate drain flush
- Blower, airflow, and thermostat check
Heat pump
Do yourself, regularly
- Change the filter every 1 to 3 months, year-round
- Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, snow, and ice, and never cover it
- After storms, clear snow and ice away from the unit
- Keep gutters draining away from the unit so ice cannot build up underneath
- Set the thermostat and leave it; constant adjusting makes the system work harder
Have us do each spring and fall
- Refrigerant charge check
- Coil cleaning, indoor and outdoor
- Defrost cycle and reversing valve test
- Electrical connections and controls
- Backup heat test before winter
Maintenance built around the equipment.
A residential tune-up can include filters, coils, drains, electrical components, refrigerant performance, burner or ignition operation, airflow, and controls. Service scope depends on the system and condition found.

Fleet care that prevents roadside breakdowns.
A few checks by your drivers and a regular shop schedule keep buses comfortable, cargo at temperature, and units out of the breakdown lane. Here is what your team can watch for, and what belongs on a professional maintenance schedule.
Bus HVAC
Drivers and shop, weekly
- Check coolant level with the engine cool — low coolant is the most common cause of weak heat
- Look over hoses and clamps for cracks, swelling, or leaks
- Check under the bus for coolant or fluid leaks
- Confirm strong, even airflow from vents and quiet blower operation
- Note new noises, weak zones, or windshields that will not clear
Have us do each season
- Pre-summer: refrigerant charge, compressor, condenser cleaning, cabin filters, front-and-rear zone cooling test
- Pre-winter: heater and defroster operation, heater cores and control valves, coolant condition
- Belts, clutches, ducts, and electrical diagnostics
Trailer refrigeration
Drivers, every pre-trip
- Run the unit's pre-trip test cycle and confirm it passes
- Set the temperature to the load requirement and confirm the display matches
- Check fuel level and watch for alarm or fault codes
- Check door seals and the ceiling air chute for tears or damage
- Pre-cool the trailer before loading — reefers hold temperature; they cannot cool a warm load quickly
Scheduled shop maintenance
- Oil, fuel, and air filter service at manufacturer hour intervals
- Belts and hoses replaced on schedule, roughly every 1,500 hours
- Refrigerant charge and leak check — oil stains mean a leak
- Evaporator and condenser coils, sensors, and defrost cycle test
- Battery and electrical connections
APUs and cab AC
Operators, regularly
- Check engine oil level and listen for unusual noise or vibration
- Watch for oil, coolant, or refrigerant leaks under the unit
- Keep the condenser and air inlets clear of debris
- Note hard starting, rising fuel use, or fault codes — all early warnings
Scheduled shop maintenance
- Oil and filter change at manufacturer hours, often 1,000 hours
- Fuel filter and air cleaner service
- Belt tension and condition, coolant hoses and clamps
- Annual comprehensive: fuel system, generator and alternator output, starter, and HVAC performance
Built around routes, cargo, and downtime.
Seasonal bus checks can cover AC and heater operation, refrigerant, filters, ventilation, fans, belts, clutches, ducts, and electrical diagnostics. Reefer maintenance can include oil and filters, belts, refrigerant, fuel-system checks, coils, airflow, and complete operating-cycle tests.
All brands serviced, including Thermo King and Carrier Transicold.
