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.

Did you know that Ohio winter weather affects your furnace performance?
Winter in Ohio is miserable. Harsh winter weather, like snow and below-freezing temperatures, can affect your furnace performance. The worst part is most furnace issues always happen on the coldest day of the year. It’s because on these cold days your heating system is working harder to heat your home. The colder weather will cause your furnace run cycle to run longer, but your furnace should never start running more frequently. The last thing you need is your furnace going out during the winter and potentially causing additional major problems like your pipes freezing.
The best ways to keep your furnace performing its best during winters in Ohio are:
Regularly change the air filter in your furnace
Keep outside furnace vents free from ice and snow
Remove any snow or ice piled up on the dryer vent
Keep inside furnace vents open and not blocked by objects
In the winter, it’s also best to set your thermostat to 68℉ or a lower temperature during the day when you’re not home and at night when you are sleeping. Keeping your home at a lower temperature will actually slow down the loss of heat inside your home, and increasing the temperature will not overwork your furnace. You should also be mindful of where your thermostat is located in your home. Thermostats that are located in direct sunlight can produce false readings which could also affect the efficiency and performance of your furnace.
No matter what Ohio winter weather brings, your local furnace repair experts at Patriot Air are here to help around the clock.
What are some of the more popular furnace brands I should know about in case I need to have a new furnace installed?
If you opt to replace your furnace with a new system, there are many popular brands on the market built for efficiency including Goodman, Amana, Daiken, Bryant, Rheem, Ruud, American Standard, Trane, Carrier and Lennox. All have excellent online ratings and all can be serviced by the knowledgeable technicians at Patriot Air.
My furnace has a strange smell.
During the warmer months when your furnace is dormant, dust can build up on the filters and internal parts. Once the furnace is heated, dust in the system can burn off creating odors. Dirty filters can also cost you more in home heating costs because your furnace has to work harder.
The smell of burning metal or plastic coming from your system could indicate more serious problems that require immediate attention. Arrange a service call with a furnace repair professional right away to diagnose the problem.
What should I do if my furnace is constantly running?
If your furnace is constantly running, there is likely a problem with your thermostat that could cause premature wear and tear to your furnace. And a constantly running furnace will most certainly increase your energy bills.
How long does a furnace repair take?
Often, we can service your heating equipment the same day with parts on hand depending on the problem you’re having.
I have a furnace repair emergency? What should I do?
In an emergency, call us at (614) 577-1577. We have 24/7 emergency furnace repair technicians standing by. We can help get your heat back up and running in no time.
How much does a furnace repair cost?
A typical house-call for a furnace repair is under $100 in central Ohio. Pricing is based on the type of repair that your furnace needs.
My furnace is making a ticking sound, what should I do?
If your furnace is making strange sounds, they could indicate the presence of broken or loose parts within the furnace. It’s time to place a call for furnace repair service.
How long does a furnace typically last before it needs to be replaced?
Your furnace can last up to 30-years with proper maintenance and tune-up programs. Be sure to repair and maintain your furnace throughout the year to preserve maximum life. One of the best ways to achieve this is with regular maintenance performed by Patriot Air as part of an annual maintenance plan.
My furnace isn’t working, what should I do?
There could be many reasons why your furnace has stopped working. Sometimes it’s as simple as the thermostat not being switched to the “heat” setting. It could also be that the furnace’s “on” switch is not, in fact, turned on. Or, there could be a similar situation within your electrical box with a fuse or circuit breaker.
These can be easy fixes, but there may be more serious reasons, like your heat exchanger or blower motor being damaged, for why your furnace isn’t working that require the attention of a trained professional. Don’t wait until you’re in the midst of a snowstorm to assess your heating system. Patriot Air Comfort Systems offers a full range of brands and models of newer furnaces to ensure the best in energy efficiency, price, and performance. Contact our friendly HVAC professionals in Columbus, Ohio, and schedule an in-home inspection and estimate today.
