HVAC Maintenance - The Fire & Ice Experience

It's important to receive regular maintenance on your furnace or air conditioner to get the most out of your HVAC system. In this video, we'll hear from our maintenance coordinator on what you can expect to get the most use and savings out of your heating and cooling system.

For me, being the maintenance coordinator, I didn't understand how important getting maintenance for your system was. I mean, the value of what we do, we could be adding years on to that unit.

So, my name is Katie Sharrock. I am the maintenance coordinator here at Fire & Ice. Which basically means I deal with anyone who needs maintenance. You call in, you'll get me. I'll set you up for an appointment. So, when you call in with an issue, if your thermostats out or let's just say it's blowing air, but it's cold instead of hot. To me, it's really important to get you set up for someone to come out for diagnosis. See what's going on. Why that problem is happening and stop it from happening.

So, it's kind of like a tune up for your car. You get your oil change. With your unit itself, it also needs maintenance to expand the lifetime of it, as well as to keep it maximized to the comfort you need in your own home. So, if you're looking to get on a maintenance plan and we've not been there before.

Only thing I need from you is your information. Especially if you're in our area, which is also on the website as well. So you just give me your information, let me know what's going on. What kind of problems you've been having, or if you're just looking for a tune-up, a cleaning. If you are a new customer I just need all that information from you.

And I could break it down. We have three different maintenance plans, each include both visits, furnace and AC. If you call in and we've been there before good news is we've already got your information or when we were there last. So, all we need to do is just find out which plan would fit best for you. The tech will come out. We'll give you a call on the way as well just to make sure you're home. That half hour head's up. He's going to come in. He has all that protective gear needed, you know, and they are all highly trained.

He's going to come in, go straight to the thermostat. Make sure that's working correctly. If it's for the furnace or AC, he's going to go to that unit. He's going to check all those amp draws, make sure that, you know, you're having airflow when he's finished, he'll explain to you everything that he did do. If something is not up to par and he can go over if he can fix it or if you want to wait, there's always options for that.

For maintenance. We recommend in all of our maintenance plans do include the two visits a year, one for your AC, one for your furnace when it comes to pricing for getting maintenance on your system, we do have the basic tune up at $129 now that will be due after completion. And if you want to schedule for both units, that's a $258.

Now, if you're looking to get on a maintenance plan, which is what we do recommend because it is a much deeper cleaning than just that basic. When it comes to pricing, we offer monthly plans our better plan is $29 a month. Our best plan is $42 a month and then our fantastic is $59 a month. And each one of these plans includes both visits, your furnace and your AC.

They each come with no after our fees, discounts and repairs and accessories. As well as it's always good to know that you don't have to worry about it. We'll be reaching out to you to get you on the schedule.

So, if you're ready to take that next step, get on a maintenance plane. If you're looking for maybe just a basic at this point, you can go ahead up on the website and click schedule service.

And if you're unsure if you're in our area, because we are based in Columbus, type in your zip code and it'll show you exactly where and if we can come to you. You want to keep your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer. That maintenance is the only thing that will guarantee that lifespan of your unit maintenance is honestly way more important than I think a lot of people realize.

The team from Fire & Ice replaced our heating and air conditioning system in our nearly impossibly small furnace room (I feared they would have to remove our hot water tank and move the washer & dryer to get access to the furnace unit) and the outside was also a task because it required a crane to get the A/C unit on the roof of our condo. The team of pros from Fire & Ice were able to accomplish all of these unusual tasks and kept me fully informed on what was needed for them to get our units replaced. We highly recommend Fire & Ice.

Fire an Ice installed my furnace two years ago so I decided to use them to install my new a/c. Bryan did a great job reviewing all my options and working to get the financing that worked for me. He was also very patient with me and answered all my questions. Demetrius and Will did an amazing job! Considering all the work they did, they were done in four hours. I’m very pleased and would recommend Fire and Ice to anyone needing HVAC services

The sales experience with Luke was great. The installation team of Demetrius, Tyler and Hassan was fantastic. They were on time, were very thorough and did a great job. They take pride in their work and it shows with the final product. They were very respectful, cleaned up and it was a pleasure having them in our house. I highly recommend all these employees and this company. The company is fortunate to have them.

Nicole Reese

Brandon was the one who installed our new furnace. He was punctual and very professional. Our new furnace is working great and couldn’t be happier with how it looks. Bryan the sales rep was very informational without being pushy and helped us make the best decision for our house. I recommend anyone who needs a new Hvac unit to call fire and ice.

We had 2 AC systems relocated and replaced. Roger (our sales contact), spent most of the day with us calculating the load and measuring the house to ensure proper equipment sizing. Roger was very responsive in helping select a proper and sound location to install the new systems. He came out 3 times to answer questions and inspect the retaining wall/pad. On the day of install, Bryan, Nick and Luke were on time and very respectful of the home. They worked tirelessly the entire day (8am - 6pm) removing the old evaporator(s) and installing the new compressors. Everything was done neatly both inside and out. I would highly recommend their service to anyone considering a new system(s). We just followed up with a pair of new furnaces. Fast scheduling and efficient installation. Luke and Brandon protected the floor and cleaned up after the install.

I had a positive experience with Fire and Ice in the past and my AC installation was even better. Brandon and DQ were very professional. Not only was the install super clean with an impressive 4 fitting duct bend sealed tight, but I needed to work from home during the install and I barely heard them throughout the day. I’ll be recommending F&I to all my friends.
