Let’s keep your HVAC system in tip-top shape.
At Five Star Home Services, we offer two distinct types of HVAC maintenance services to meet your home’s needs: a Safety Inspection and a full HVAC Tune-Up. While both are performed by our licensed, insured, and NATE-certified technicians, there are key differences in scope, time, and depth. Here’s how they compare:
HVAC Safety Inspection
A Basic Visual Check Focused on System Safety
Our HVAC safety inspection is a standalone service designed to identify any obvious or visible safety concerns. This is ideal for homeowners who want a quick professional look at their system—especially before turning it on for the season or after a long period of inactivity.
What’s Included in the Safety Inspection:
- Visual inspection of gas lines and fittings
- Check for visible cracks or damage in the heat exchanger
- Inspection of electrical wiring and components
- Visual check of ventilation and exhaust pathways
- Thermostat function test
- Inspection of safety shut-offs and system startup
This service is great as a quick check-in—but it does not include cleaning, adjustments, or in-depth testing.
HVAC Tune-Up
Comprehensive Maintenance for Peak Performance
The HVAC tune-up includes everything in the safety inspection, plus a full performance check and hands-on servicing of your system. This is a complete seasonal maintenance service that optimizes system efficiency, reduces wear and tear, and extends equipment lifespan.
What’s Included in the Tune-Up (in addition to all safety inspection points):
- Testing refrigerant levels and checking for leaks
- Cleaning condenser and evaporator coils
- Tightening electrical connections
- Lubricating motors, fans, and moving parts
- Flushing condensate drain lines’
- Airflow measurement and duct connection check
- Full system calibration and performance testing
- Blower motor and fan testing
- Burner and heat exchanger cleaning (for heating systems)
- Detailed system reporting and recommendations

Billy Dilger, HVAC Full Install
“Had a new air conditioner and furnace installed recently. Billy Dilger & team did a great job, they were professional, showed up on time, and got everything set up smoothly. The system is running well so far, and I’m happy with how everything turned out. Would definitely recommend them to anyone needing HVAC work.”

The initial consultation was perfect. After researching forums and gathering numerous quotes, Five Star/Pickerington Heating & Cooling stood out immediately. Josh exceeded my expectations with a thorough home assessment, guiding me through options, pricing, financing, and what to expect during installation and beyond. I canceled my other quotes on the spot. Installation by Alex and William was on time, seamless, and professional while I worked from home. They were polite, knowledgeable, and patient. I’m proud of my new units, relieved the process is complete, and confident I chose the right company.

“Everything about my experience was positive. Nathan was friendly and knowledgeable, and made the decision/purchase process as easy and stress free as I could ask for. My system was installed by Brandon the very next day. Brandon was quick, clean and quiet. Everything was completed in one day and the system was up and running in time for dinner. I highly recommend Five Star. We had a few other quotes from other companies in the area, and while Five Star wasn’t the cheapest option, I felt the most comfortable with them and the product they sell is top notch.”
— Tom Kelly
Brandon Kern, HVAC Full Install
“I wanted a whole house humidifier. They got it installed the next day at a very reasonable cost. The installer, Matt, was on time, friendly, efficient and gave great explanations for how it all works and he answered any questions I had. I like supporting local businesses and this company made that very easy.”
— Barbara
Matt Anderson, IAQ Install
“Scott was great. He was on-time and professional. Got the job done quick and clean. The new in humidifier on the furnace is wonderful. If you have an overly dry home this is well worth the cost!”
— Barbara
Scott Peterson, IAQ Install
“Good communication! Eddie did a wonderful job! Our blower motor was fried. Eddie made a number of great suggestions which considered and then accepted. Eddie is a standout for your company! He is personable, thorough and professional. We enjoyed having him in our home and were very happy that Five Star was able to get to us today!! Our furnace is once again working fine. We are Five Star customers for as long as we need your services! Thank you!”

“Mitch was the best service call I have ever had (and we have had many over the years). He was respectful, knowledgeable, and thorough, even informed me of other services the company provides. This was our first experience with Five Star Home Services and we will definitely use them again.”
— Kristy
Mitch Jessup, HVAC Service Call
“Mike came out to do a safety inspection for us on the furnace. As he started doing research on our furnace and found out it has not been serviced since we had it installed about 3 years ago. So I asked if he had time to do a full blown checkup. He made arrangements to do the checkup, made a couple recommendations and even cleaned out the chipmunk that met his demise by crawling in the make up air pipe and couldn’t make his way back out. Great guy, very personable. Even figured out that our new NEST thermostat wasn’t working properly.”
— Greg Rice
Mike Brown, HVAC Safety Inspection

Frequently Asked HVAC Maintenance Questions
You have questions —we have answers!
We recommend servicing your system twice a year: once in the spring before cooling season, and again in the fall before heating season.
A tune-up is a preventive service to keep your system running efficiently. Repairs are reactive and needed when something breaks down. Regular maintenance helps avoid costly repairs.
A standard tune-up takes about 60–90 minutes depending on the system and condition. Our technicians provide a full report and service recommendations when finished.
Yes. Cleaning filters, coils, and duct components helps reduce dust, allergens, and mold growth—leading to cleaner, healthier air.
Absolutely. We offer flexible plans tailored to landlords, property managers, and multi-HVAC households.
