Annual vs. Semiannual Plan: Which Is Right for You?
Both plans cover the full maintenance checklist above. The difference is timing.
Annual Plan
Annual plan: one comprehensive visit per year. This is a solid baseline for most Lacey and Olympia homeowners with newer equipment in good condition.
Semiannual Plan
Semiannual plan: two visits per year, one in spring before cooling season and one in fall before heating season. Because heat pumps run year-round handling both heating and cooling, the semiannual plan is especially recommended for heat pump owners. Two visits per year means any issue that develops during the season is caught sooner.

Frequently Asked Questions About HVAC Maintenance
How much does an HVAC maintenance plan cost in Lacey or Olympia?
The cost of the Preferred Customer Service Agreement depends on your system type and the plan tier (annual or semiannual) you choose. Because it includes benefits like a 15 percent parts discount and no overtime charges for emergency calls, the plan typically pays for itself with a single repair visit. Call (360) 456-4956 or request an estimate online and one of our team members will walk you through the pricing for your specific equipment.
How often should I have my HVAC system serviced?
For most homes in Lacey and Olympia, once per year is the minimum. If your home uses a heat pump for both heating and cooling year-round, twice per year (semiannual) is recommended because your system is working in every season. Our semiannual plan covers one visit in spring before cooling season and one in fall before heating season.
What is the difference between HVAC repair and HVAC maintenance?
Maintenance is a scheduled, preventive visit designed to keep a system running efficiently and catch small problems before they become failures. Repair is a service call that responds to something that is already broken or malfunctioning. Homeowners who stay on a maintenance plan statistically need fewer repairs because our technicians identify and address minor issues during the maintenance visit before they escalate.
Does the maintenance plan cover both my heating and cooling systems?
Yes. The Preferred Customer Service Agreement covers both the heating and cooling sides of your HVAC system in a single visit. For homes with a heat pump, that means one system that handles both functions. For homes with separate furnace and air conditioner equipment, our technician inspects and services both during the visit.
What happens if my system breaks down between maintenance visits?
Plan members receive 24/7 emergency service with no overtime charges for calls within the standard service windows (weekdays 7am to 10pm, Saturdays 8am to 8pm, and Sundays). You also receive guaranteed priority scheduling for no-heat or no-AC situations, which means you go to the front of the line.
