We had them come out to do a heat adjustment and Manny noticed a gas smell that we had apparently gotten used to. A quick evaluation and he discovered a gas leak in our stove. Had he not spoken up and gone above and beyond, we could have been in danger. I’m so grateful he went above and beyond for us! Seriously some of the best service I could have ever asked for!Lynn S.

why schedule a tune-up with American heating and cooling?
With the strain of hot, humid Nashville summers, your A/C system is under a lot of pressure to keep your home cool and comfortable all season long. Show it some love with a check-up by our team of HVAC professionals who can keep your system running like new for longer. Plus, when your system is working properly, you’re likely to see both short-term and long-term savings.
To lower your utility bills
Heating and cooling equipment typically accounts for 30 - 40% of your overall utility costs each month. With our inspection and tune-up, we can correct any issues that may be forcing your HVAC components to work harder than needed. A well-maintained system won’t end up being a power guzzler, which directly impacts your home’s energy consumption and can lower your power bill.
To extend the life of your equipment
Most HVAC systems have a lifespan of approximately 15 years if the system is right for the space and if it’s maintained properly. No one wants to incur the expense of replacing it entirely, especially years earlier than anticipated, so it makes much more sense to keep your existing system in tip-top shape for as long as possible.
To reduce the frequency and cost of future repairs
Savvy savers know that routine maintenance prevents inconvenient and costly breakdowns by finding and fixing minor issues early on – well before they develop into larger, more costly repairs. The negligible expense of an inspection and routine maintenance now can mean significant savings down the road, especially when an expert set of eyes knows precisely where to look for potential problems.
To maintain warranty requirements
Generally, when filing a claim under warranty, HVAC manufacturers will require proof of professional inspections and maintenance. Be sure to schedule these check-ups and keep all documentation together in one place so you’re not scrambling to find records in the midst of a cooling or heating emergency.
