Pre-Season System Check.
American Home Shield and HSA Home Warranty offer a Pre-Season System Check during select months of the year. This service covers your cooling equipment in the spring, or your heating equipment in the fall. Home warranty charges a service fee for each system, and we must have each system listed on the dispatch if we are to service more than one system in your home.

Environmental Factors
Outdoor condensing units can quickly become impacted. Cottonwood debris is especially common once spring starts. You may find that your condenser becomes dirty again after we have been out to clean it. Because these environmental factors are beyond our control, we are not responsible for the condition or efficiency of your equipment after we have performed maintenance. We advise taking a hose to rinse your condensing unit again if you notice buildup start to happen after service.
