Critical. With summer highs averaging 88°F, local AC systems work harder than coastal areas. Annual maintenance prevents costly mid-summer breakdowns.

Why is my thermostat blank?
Start with batteries - even hardwired thermostats often have backup batteries. If that doesn't work, check the circuit breaker. A blank screen can also indicate a failed thermostat or wiring issue.
Should I upgrade to a smart thermostat?
Smart thermostats offer energy savings and convenience, but not all are compatible with all HVAC systems. We can assess compatibility and recommend the best option for your system.
