Is a Red Bow Membership Right for You?
Is Heating and Cooling Maintenance Really Necessary?
To keep your heating and cooling systems running at their best for as long as possible, regular maintenance is key. Our technicians perform detailed inspections, clean, and fine-tune the necessary components. This proactive care helps minimize the need for repairs and extends the life of your equipment.
How Often Do Heating and Cooling Systems Need Maintenance?
When a part of your AC system malfunctions, it often leads to a significant rise in your energy costs. Even if there are no obvious signs of a problem, an unexpected increase in your energy bill can be a clear warning that something is wrong.
Is Maintenance Membership Worth It?
Joining our maintenance program guarantees regular attention to your heating and cooling systems, providing you with confidence and comfort throughout every season.
Does Heating and Cooling Maintenance Prevent Equipment Malfunctions?
Definitely! Regular heating and cooling maintenance can save you up to 85% of potential repair expenses that may arise without routine check-ups. During these maintenance visits, our technicians inspect for early signs of wear and tear. When issues are detected, we inform you immediately, allowing you to address them early and avoid more significant, expensive problems down the road.

Generator Maintenance
Just like your car, backup generators have a gasoline engine that needs routine maintenance to perform reliably. Professional generator maintenance helps ensure standby generators and other backup power sources perform reliably at a moment’s notice. Between annual maintenance appointments with our service providers, Ace Hardware Home Services also recommends reviewing and adhering to manufacturer maintenance and warranty instructions laid out in your owner’s manual.
When the team at Ace Hardware Home Services arrives for your annual generator checkup, they will perform a checklist of tasks tailored to the make, model and age of your device. Steps may include:
• Clearing debris from inside & outside casing, intake louvers & exhaust vents.
• Checking control panel fuses.
• Cleaning battery terminals, verifying battery strength & testing electrical connections.
• Checking fuel system assembly, gas pressure & connections.
• Changing oil, spark plugs & air filters.
• Testing the transfer switch. (While your generator probably self-tests on a weekly basis, transfer switch testing is conducted during annual maintenance.)
• Checking all wiring for corrosion & pest damage.
• Verifying generator’s power capacity output.
