Professional HVAC Maintenance in Melissa, TX

For homeowners in Melissa, TX, a reliable heating and cooling system isn’t a luxury-it’s a necessity for year-round comfort. From sweltering summer heat to unexpected winter chills, your HVAC system works hard to maintain a pleasant indoor environment. To ensure it operates at peak performance, prevents costly breakdowns, and runs efficiently, proactive professional maintenance is the single most important investment you can make. Since 1958, our family-owned company has provided Melissa residents with meticulous HVAC tune-ups designed to protect their systems, improve indoor air quality, and deliver lasting peace of mind.

The Essential Benefits of Routine HVAC Maintenance

Skipping seasonal tune-ups may seem like a way to save money in the short term, but it often leads to higher costs and greater inconvenience down the road. Regular, professional maintenance is a preventative measure that delivers significant, tangible benefits for your home and budget.

Maximize Energy Efficiency: Over time, dirt, dust, and minor mechanical issues force your HVAC system to work harder to heat or cool your home. This leads to a noticeable increase in your energy bills. A professional tune-up cleans and calibrates components, ensuring the system runs as efficiently as the manufacturer intended, which can significantly lower your monthly utility costs.

Extend Your System's Lifespan: An HVAC system is one of the most significant investments in your home. Just like a car, it requires regular service to continue operating reliably for years to come. Maintenance identifies and corrects small issues before they can cause major component failure, helping you get the maximum service life from your equipment and delaying the need for a premature, expensive replacement.

Improve Indoor Air Quality: Your HVAC system circulates all the air within your home. If the system is dirty, it can distribute dust, pollen, mold spores, and other allergens. Our maintenance service includes cleaning key components and replacing air filters, which helps trap these contaminants and provides cleaner, healthier air for your family to breathe.

Prevent Costly and Inconvenient Breakdowns: HVAC systems rarely fail at a convenient time. Most breakdowns occur during extreme weather when the system is under the greatest strain. A thorough inspection can catch worn-out parts, loose electrical connections, or refrigerant leaks, allowing for minor repairs that prevent a complete system shutdown when you need it most.

Maintain Your Manufacturer's Warranty: Most HVAC manufacturers require proof of regular professional maintenance to keep the warranty on your system valid. Skipping annual tune-ups could void your coverage, leaving you responsible for the full cost of expensive repairs that would have otherwise been covered.

Our Comprehensive HVAC Maintenance Checklist

To ensure your system is prepared for any season, we perform two distinct, comprehensive tune-ups each year—one for your air conditioner in the spring and one for your heating system in the fall.

Spring Air Conditioning Tune-Up Checklist

  • Thermostat Calibration: We test and calibrate your thermostat to ensure it accurately reads the room temperature and communicates properly with the AC unit.
  • Air Filter Inspection and Replacement: A clean filter is crucial for proper airflow and efficiency. We inspect your existing filter and replace it if necessary.
  • Refrigerant Level Check: We check refrigerant levels to ensure they meet manufacturer specifications. Incorrect levels can lead to inefficient cooling and damage the compressor.
  • Coil Cleaning: We thoroughly clean the evaporator and condenser coils. Dirty coils restrict heat transfer, forcing the system to run longer and work harder.
  • Electrical Connection Inspection: Our technicians inspect and tighten all electrical connections and test voltage and amperage to prevent electrical hazards and ensure reliable operation.
  • Condensate Drain Line Clearing: We flush the condensate drain line to remove any clogs or blockages, preventing water backups that can cause significant property damage.
  • Blower Component Inspection: We inspect the blower motor and wheel, cleaning and adjusting them as needed to ensure optimal airflow throughout your home.
  • Ductwork Inspection: We perform a visual inspection of accessible ductwork to identify any potential leaks or disconnections that could be wasting energy.

Fall Heating System Tune-Up Checklist

  • Burner and Ignition Assembly Inspection: We clean and inspect the burner assembly and ignition system to ensure a safe, reliable startup every time.
  • Heat Exchanger Inspection: This is a critical safety check. We inspect the heat exchanger for any cracks or deterioration that could lead to a dangerous carbon monoxide leak.
  • Flue and Venting System Check: We ensure the system's flue is clear of obstructions and venting properly to safely remove exhaust gases from your home.
  • Gas Pressure and Connection Verification: Our technicians test the gas pressure and inspect all gas connections to ensure they are secure and operating safely and efficiently.
  • Safety Control Testing: We test all safety controls, including limit switches and flame sensors, to confirm they will shut the system down properly in an unsafe condition.
  • Carbon Monoxide Testing: For added peace of mind, we perform a carbon monoxide test to detect the presence of this odorless, deadly gas.
  • Lubrication of Moving Parts: We lubricate all moving parts, such as the blower motor, to reduce friction, save energy, and prevent premature wear.

"I am so impressed with Burnside!!! I will never even consider using anyone else. I was u def a lot of pressure and the heating system was not working correctly and they found a minor inexpensive solution. Another local vendor charged way more for a similar situation. I immediately sighed up for their annual program. God bless them."
