At Airmasters AC, Heat, Plumbing & Electrical, we’ve been helping homeowners stay comfortable in Cleburne, TX, since 1985, and these are the top 20 questions we hear about HVAC maintenance plans.
🔧 1. Is an HVAC maintenance membership worth it?
Yes! Especially in Texas!
A single AC tune-up costs $155, so two visits per year would normally be $310. Our memberships begin at $295 and include added savings like repair discounts and a reduced diagnostic fee.
Most homeowners save money with just one repair.
💸 2. How much does an HVAC maintenance plan cost?
Our PRO HVAC maintenance membership is $295 per year or $25 monthly and includes:
- 2 system tune-ups

🛠️ 3. What is included in an HVAC tune-up?
Each maintenance visit includes:
- Full system inspection
- Cleaning of key components
- Safety and performance checks
- Identification of potential issues before they become major repairs
🔄 4. How often should HVAC systems be serviced?
Twice per year:
- Cooling check (spring), performed March-May
- Heating check (fall), perfromed November-January
Regular maintenance helps prevent breakdowns and keeps your system efficient.
🌡️ 5. Do I really need HVAC maintenance every year?
Yes! Skipping maintenance can lead to:
- Higher energy bills
- More frequent repairs
- Shorter system lifespan
💲 6. Do I get a discount if I provide my own filter?
No, and here’s why:
We include a standard 1” filter to protect your system, but it’s not built into the cost of the membership.
Most 1” filters need to be replaced every 1–3 months anyway, so you’ll still need to change them between visits.

This often pays for itself quickly.

🧰 9. Does the repair discount apply to everything?
Yes! Your discount applies to recommended repairs while your membership is active. Remember the diagnostic fee is separate, as this covers the time and talent of your licensed technician figuring out what is going on with your unit.
📅 10. Will you remind me to schedule maintenance?
Yes! We contact you when it’s time to schedule, so you don’t have to remember.
⚡ 11. What if my AC breaks down between visits?
That’s exactly what the membership is for. You’ll receive priority service and discounted repairs and diagnostics to get your system back up quickly.
