HVAC Maintenance in Columbus, Dayton & Cincinnati

When you need your HVAC to stay running, just call Five Star.

Your HVAC system works hard to keep you comfortable year-round—don’t let a simple oversight turn into an expensive emergency. At Five Star Home Services, we provide professional, affordable HVAC maintenance that keeps your system running at peak performance.

Signs Your HVAC System Needs Maintenance

Avoid the breakdown before it breaks the bank.

Most homeowners wait until their system stops working before calling for help, but preventive HVAC maintenance can save you from expensive repairs, unexpected downtime, and rising energy bills. A well-maintained system lasts longer, runs more efficiently, and keeps your home safer.

Common Signs Your HVAC System Needs a Tune-Up:

Rising monthly utility bills

Persistent thermostat issues

Your system hasn’t been
serviced in over 12 months

Excessive dust or
allergens in the home

Strange noises like
rattling, buzzing, or hissing

Poor airflow or
uneven temperatures

Furnace or A/C seems
to be running constantly

Annual heating and cooling maintenance keeps you ahead of these issues—and ensures your system is ready before extreme temperatures hit.

Your #1 hvac maintenance experts in Columbus, Dayton & Cincinnati

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

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.
