Every Patriot Air HVAC Maintenance Plan Includes:
Priority Service Scheduling. Any time you need service while you are enrolled, you move to the front of the line. On the hottest afternoon in July or the coldest night in January, when every HVAC company in Columbus is booked solid, this is the benefit you will be glad you have.
No diagnostic charges. No diagnostic fees while you are enrolled. That's a $130 value every single time we come out to look at your system.
15% off any part you may need. Plan members get 15% off any part required for a repair, backed by a full two-year parts warranty. One mid-sized repair typically returns more than a year of plan cost.
Precision tune-ups on schedule. Our tune-ups run through dozens of checkpoints on your equipment, and every visit ends with a complete written report so you know exactly what we inspected, what we found, and what to watch.
90-day satisfaction guarantee. Try any plan for ninety days. If you are not 100% satisfied, you may cancel at any time, no penalty and no hassle.
AC & Furnace Maintenance Plan
Two precision tune-ups a year, timed to the seasons that matter. We service your air conditioner in the spring before cooling season arrives, and your furnace in the fall before you need heat.
Your air conditioning tune-up covers cleaning and washing the condenser coils, leveling the condensing unit for proper motor and bearing wear, lubricating motor and fan bearings, inspecting the evaporator coil and drain pan, checking condensate drain lines, calibrating the thermostat, cleaning the blower assembly, testing every electrical connection and capacitor, measuring line and control voltage and amp draw, verifying airflow and air delivery, adjusting all safety controls, and monitoring refrigerant pressures with superheat and subcooling measured against factory specifications.
Your furnace tune-up covers cleaning and adjusting the main gas burners and ignition assembly, inspecting the heat exchanger and combustion chambers for cracks, rust, and problem areas, vacuuming out the blower compartment and return air drop, testing the flue assembly and drafting mechanism, testing all safety controls, measuring and adjusting gas pressure, replacing or cleaning standard air filters, lubricating fan motors and moving parts, setting proper blower speed and airflow, calibrating the thermostat, recording heating output, testing the thermocouple and pilot safety switch, and repairing minor air leaks in the plenum and return air drop.
That heat exchanger inspection is the one no homeowner should go without. A cracked heat exchanger is a carbon monoxide risk, and it is not something you can spot on your own or hear coming.
What this plan does for you: lower utility bills from reduced energy waste, longer equipment life, fewer repairs and breakdowns, improved system reliability, greater heating and cooling capacity, and a full written report after every visit.
Geothermal System Maintenance Plan
Geothermal systems are built to last decades, with indoor components running twenty-five years or more and ground loops lasting over fifty. Protecting that kind of investment takes a technician who actually knows geothermal, which is a different skill set than conventional heating and cooling.
Your plan includes two precision tune-ups a year, one in spring and one in fall. Each visit covers verifying supply voltage, measuring compressor amp draw, checking return air and coil temperature differential, checking loop pressures and temperatures, removing air from the flow center, adding loop fluid as needed, switching the desuperheater on or off for the season, inspecting all electrical connections and grounds, checking capacitor MFD ratings, cleaning the drain pan, checking and replacing filters, scanning the unit for fault codes, verifying auxiliary and backup heat operation, and checking and cleaning the blower motor.
Patriot Air has been Central Ohio's geothermal specialist since Geo Source One became part of our team, and we install and service the full WaterFurnace line. When you call us about a geothermal system, you are talking to people who work on them every week.
What this plan does for you: lower utility bills, extended equipment life, fewer repairs, improved reliability, and greater heating and cooling capacity, season after season.

Why a Maintenance Plan Pays for Itself
At under twenty dollars a month, a maintenance plan costs less than a single diagnostic call. Skip the maintenance and the math runs the other direction fast.
Dirty coils and clogged filters force your system to run longer to deliver the same comfort, and that inefficiency shows up on every utility bill for as long as you ignore it. Components that are wearing out tend to fail at the worst possible moment, which is exactly when emergency scheduling is tightest across Columbus. And a system that never gets serviced rarely reaches the fifteen-year lifespan it was engineered for, which means replacing equipment years earlier than you planned.
There is a warranty angle too. Most manufacturers require documented annual maintenance to keep equipment warranties valid, so letting your tune-up schedule lapse can quietly cost you coverage you already paid for when you bought the system.
Plan members avoid the diagnostic fee entirely, take 15% off any part, and get two years of warranty behind those parts. One repair usually covers the year.
We the People, Love Patriot Air
Fast & Efficient Service...
Patriot Air showed up on time, checked out my furnace, and within minutes of being there not only diagnosed the problem, but had the parts on the truck to fix it. Within thirty minutes, my furnace was blowing hot air again. Brian, the technician gave me tips on how to take better care of my furnace and even showed me how to change the air filter by myself. I couldn’t be happier and I’ve found my heating and cooling company for life. Thank you Patriot Air!
Patriot Air to the Rescue...
Our furnace went out while we were at work, and we came home to a freezing house. We have small children, so having it too cold in the house isn’t an option. We called around to a few places, and Patriot Air was the only HVAC company to return our call and immediately rushed a technician to our house. I can’t thank them enough for putting my family first and ensuring my kids had a warm home to sleep in. I tell everyone that Patriot Air is the only HVAC company I’ll ever call again.
Knowledgeable & Professional...
Honest & Courteous...
Having a fixed income with unexpected expenses, like fixing the heating and cooling systems, is hard. Luckily for us, Patriot Air is a company that doesn’t nickel and dime you to death and is very fair-priced.

Don’t forget to apply for our HVAC Financing so you can get the service you need now with the ability to pay over time.
Can I replace my heat pump with a furnace?
Yes, we can replace your heat pump with a brand new furnace. Heat pumps are not suitable in regions that get exceptionally cold in winter months due to poor cold weather performance.
How do I know if I need to replace my furnace?
Often, furnace repair is an option for your HVAC system. Residential heating systems need to be replaced when it has reduced efficiency, is unrepairable, or has exceeded its service life which is typically 15-20 years. Key indicators that your furnace needs replaced are increased need for furnace repair or services, and/or reduced in-home air quality.
How do I choose what type of furnace to get?
When picking a furnace there are a couple of important things to keep in mind: climate, fuel source, energy efficiency, and size. We can help you navigate your options and choose the best furnace for your specific home.
Climate:
Depending on your region, some types of furnaces work better than others. It’s important to choose a furnace that features an ENERGY STAR certification for the best efficiency and savings. Living in Ohio, you will need a furnace with more heating power, look for an ENERGY STAR label for furnaces that have an AFUE rating of 90 or higher to save on your heating bill.
Fuel Source:
Gas is the most popular fuel source because it is readily available and usually the least expensive. Gas furnaces are usually cheaper to buy and install, being less messy than oil furnaces.
- Single-Stage Gas Furnaces: Features a gas valve that opens and closes. The gas flows at only one rate: high. Single-stage gas furnaces operate at around 80% AFUE and are best for milder climates.
- Two-Stage Gas Furnaces: Can adjust the flow of gas from low or high for better efficiency. Your home’s thermostat communicates with the furnace to regulate temperature.
- Modulating Gas Furnaces: This type of gas furnace regulates heat the most precisely of all the gas furnace types. It is ideal for colder climates to regulate room temperatures efficiently and evenly.
Oil is your next best choice if the gas supply is not available in your area.
- Oil Furnaces: These furnaces are best for homeowners who do not have access to other types of fuels.
Finally, electric furnaces are the cheapest to buy and install, but they do not heat large homes very well and are the most expensive to operate.
- Electric Furnaces: While not as economical as gas furnaces, electric furnaces are still popular. They heat air by moving it over electric coils and distributing the warmed air throughout your home.
Energy Efficiency:
The Federal Trade Commission requires all new furnaces to display AFUE ratings so you can compare their efficiency. The AFUE represents the annual heat output of the furnace compared to the total annual energy consumed; an AFUE of 90% means that 90% of the energy heats the home and the other 10% escapes. Save on your utility bills with an energy-efficient furnace and/or cooling system.
Size:
The key to heating your home is installing a furnace that fits just right. A furnace that is too small, won’t be able to keep up with the dropping temperatures outside. A furnace that is too small will end up running and running without making any real progress to heating your house. A furnace that is too big will waste money on fuel by producing heat you do not need. Ask an HVAC contractor for an in-house evaluation to determine the best size for your home.
Choose an HVAC professional, like Patriot Air, to help you navigate your options and choose the best furnace for your specific home.
Can I install a new furnace myself?
Depending on your previous and new system, installing a furnace can include running gas lines, power, and more in addition to the furnace install itself. It is recommended that you leave furnace installs to the professionals at Patriot Air. There also may be considerations for your air conditioning system and you will want to review your cooling equipment before you make a decision. See our air conditioner repair information on the air conditioning services page.
How long does it take for professional HVAC companies to install a new furnace?
Time can vary when installing a new furnace based on the previous system and hookups available. Typically from start to finish, installation takes 4-10 hours depending on the complexity.
What is the difference between an HVAC system, air conditioning / air conditioner, and a furnace?
An HVAC unit is a complex system consisting of three units, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning that work together to keep the required temperature in the room. There is a small thermostat mounted on the wall in some houses that detects a fall or rise in temperatures which makes the thermostat send signals to the coils of the HVAC. If the temperature in your house rises, the thermostat detects and sends the signals to the coils. These coils rotate to suck in the hot air through the blower and send it out of the house while the ventilator sucks in clean air and distributes it throughout the house, improving your indoor air quality. Some HVAC systems can also be fitted with a humidifier and a dehumidifier to control humidity levels in your house.
In contrast, a furnace serves only one purpose; heating the house. When temperatures drop below the required levels, the thermostat sends the signals to the boiler, which heats oil or gas and then distributes it throughout the house by a system of pipes.
