WHAT IS AIR CONDITIONING MAINTENANCE?

Air conditioning maintenance is a preventive A/C service that involves a thorough inspection and tune-up of your system.

Given that most people only call for HVAC service when something goes wrong, you may be wondering, “Do I really need air conditioning maintenance service?” Yes—you really do need A/C maintenance if you want to save money, stay comfortable, and enjoy some other benefits.

Air Conditioning Maintenance

A/C maintenance is needed to ensure your unit operates at peak efficiency. The air conditioning maintenance provided by Top Mechanical Service will ensure that your air conditioner will keep running properly when it has to be used. Our service technicians have over 30 years of experience in repairing and maintaining home air conditioning systems.

The benefit of having your air conditioner maintained is to keep your energy costs low. Your air conditioner needs periodical cleaning to keep its proper performance. These systems lose a percentage of their efficiently work every year. Good maintenance restores most air conditioning systems to over 93% efficiency. If a system is dirty, then it will work harder to cool the room. This can increase energy use and cause you to have a higher monthly energy bill. Scheduled air conditioning maintenance of your air conditioner will reduce expensive repair costs. Cleaning the unit and restoring it to peak efficiency will keep it running well into the future. An A/C unit that is running efficiently will not be working harder than normal to cool your home. This helps to keep it running longer.

The owners and crew were very considerate, honest, compassionate and professional. The complete boiler system was completed in an extremely timely manner. We can't say enough good things about this company, highly recommended! J & J in Agawam

Positive: Punctuality, Quality, Responsiveness, Value I called top mechanical service and Steve came within 30 mins. Very professional, honest and knowledgeable. I will now be using them to provide yearly maintenance. I would definitely recommend.

Contacted them in the morning and had service the same day. We had a leaking pvc exhaust pipe from our gas furnace, and also had exhaust condensate leaking back into our furnace. I believe his name was Ray who came out. He took furnace apart and knew right away that our furnace was actually missing parts, and a gasket was bad causing water to leak into furnace. He called out and found the exact parts we needed. I also asked him to install a WiFi thermostat while he was here, and he did it with no problem. He had to leave twice for parts. He was a really nice guy and did very thorough work. He really knows his shit when it comes to hvac. We've not had any leaking issues since he was here. Total bill for parts and labor for about four hours work was like $380. Decent price at about $100 per hour.

Top Mechanical is exactly what this company is. Outstanding work ethic, and very dependable. they were able to trouble shoot, and repair a major system malfunction, in a failry new Combi Hydronic Heat and semi Instantancous Domestic hot water boiler. i would highly recommend this company to fix any old or new boiler systems.

Excellent, expedient service. Friendly, fair and dedicated to giving quality service at a great price. Our furnace stopped blowing hot air overnight and Stephen had us up and repaired by noon the next day.

Positive: Punctuality, Quality, Responsiveness, Value Steve and his son made time for me, a new customer, during this cold snap. They fixed my steam boiler at a reasonable rate, and a bonus result is that my radiators are quieter than they've ever been. I also love dealing with small family businesses.

My tenant was without heat do to a faulty steam boiler on a very cold day! Steve was able to get to me in a timely manner and corrected the issue quickly at a very reasonable rate. Service was prompt, friendly, and professional. I would highly recommend them!
