HVAC maintenance · San Antonio

Two seasons.One clear plan.

A spring cooling visit, a fall heating visit, and a straightforward condition report—so you know what is operating normally, what to watch, and what needs a separate decision.

Competitive annual maintenance

Practical coverage without a complicated membership ladder.

Air Valentine uses the price already established on this site: $150 annually for each system. Public San Antonio two-visit plans reviewed for comparison commonly run higher, while one-time tune-up offers often cover only one season or a narrower scope.

Market context: a current local public annual plan lists two tune-ups at $212 for one system, and other public programs commonly advertise roughly $19–$25 per month. Inclusions differ, so scope matters more than the headline price alone.

Spring readiness. Fall readiness.

The plan schedules maintenance before the longest cooling and heating runs, with findings separated from any repair decision.

  • One spring cooling maintenance visit
  • One fall heating maintenance visit
  • About $75 per scheduled visit
  • 10% repair discount, capped at $100
  • Applicable system testing and inspection
  • Repairs require separate explanation and approval

Two different seasons

The spring and fall visits are not the same checklist.

Cooling and heating equipment fail in different ways. The work is adapted to the installed system—gas furnace, electric heat, heat pump, or straight cooling—not padded with irrelevant line items.

Visit one · before peak heat

Spring cooling maintenance

  • Confirm thermostat operation and cooling call
  • Inspect accessible electrical connections and components
  • Measure relevant motor and system operating conditions
  • Inspect the outdoor coil and clear ordinary loose debris
  • Evaluate refrigerant-system performance for abnormal conditions
  • Inspect accessible blower and airflow conditions
  • Inspect the condensate drain, pan, and accessible safety switch
  • Review filter condition and replacement needs
  • Run the cooling cycle and document findings
Visit two · before heating season

Fall heating maintenance

  • Confirm thermostat operation and heating call
  • Inspect accessible electrical connections and safety controls
  • Review blower, filter, and airflow conditions
  • Inspect heat-pump operation and defrost controls when applicable
  • Inspect electric heat components when applicable
  • Review accessible gas, burner, ignition, flame, and venting conditions when applicable
  • Check temperature and operating conditions
  • Run the heating cycle through startup and shutdown
  • Document normal operation, concerns, and recommended next steps

  • Repairs recommended for approval
  • Safety concerns requiring prompt attention

A useful condition report

Every finding should lead to a clear category.

A tune-up should leave you with more than “looks good” or a surprise sales list. Air Valentine separates current operation, developing concerns, maintenance needs, repairs, and safety issues.

01Operating normally

No material concern identified in the inspected scope.

02Monitor

A developing condition to watch, without manufacturing urgency.

03Maintenance correction

Cleaning or routine care outside the included visit scope.

04Repair recommended

A fault or worn component with a separate repair option.

05Safety concern

A condition that may require shutdown or prompt correction.

Transparent boundaries

Maintenance is not a disguised repair quote.

If the inspection finds a fault or work outside the scheduled visit, Arthur explains it and gives you a separate decision. Nothing below should be assumed included unless it is written.

  • Replacement parts and corrective repairs
  • Refrigerant, leak searching, and leak repair
  • Deep indoor-coil, blower, or duct cleaning
  • Duct, electrical, gas, venting, or drain reconstruction
  • Filters beyond any item specifically written into the visit
  • Work on unsafe or inaccessible equipment
  • A guarantee that future breakdowns cannot occur

Real Air Valentine service work

Maintenance happens at the equipment—not on a generic checklist.

Maintenance questions

Know the price, the visits, and the boundaries.

How much is the Air Valentine maintenance plan?

The plan is $150 per system each year and includes one spring cooling visit and one fall heating visit. That works out to about $75 per scheduled visit.

What is included in each HVAC maintenance visit?

The visit covers the applicable seasonal operating cycle, thermostat and control checks, accessible electrical and airflow observations, filter and drainage review, system-specific cooling or heating checks, and a clear condition report. The exact work depends on whether the home has gas heat, electric heat, or a heat pump.

Does maintenance include repairs or replacement parts?

No. Maintenance is inspection, testing, ordinary included care, and reporting. Parts, repairs, deep cleaning, refrigerant leak work, reconstruction, and other corrective work are presented separately for approval.

Is adding refrigerant part of a tune-up?

No. Refrigerant circulates in a sealed system. Abnormal refrigerant performance should lead to a diagnosis of the cause; refrigerant, leak search, and leak repair are separate work.

Does the plan include a repair discount?

The current Air Valentine plan includes a 10% repair discount capped at $100. Any repair is still explained and approved separately.

Can maintenance guarantee that my system will not break down?

No tune-up can guarantee future operation. Maintenance can document current condition, address included routine needs, and help identify developing concerns before peak season.
