Serving Santa Clara & San Mateo Counties
One Visit a Year Keeps Your System Running Right
Most HVAC systems do not fail suddenly. They degrade gradually: the refrigerant charge drops a few ounces, coils accumulate a thin layer of dust, and a capacitor starts to lose capacity. None of these trigger an alarm. Each one adds a few percentage points of runtime to reach the set temperature and a few dollars to every utility bill.
Ozone Service provides annual HVAC maintenance for heat pumps, air conditioners, and furnaces across San Jose and the Bay Area. We inspect, measure, clean, and test. Every visit ends with a written performance report covering every subsystem we checked.
Because we hold both HVAC and electrical licenses, we catch problems that a single-trade contractor would miss or refer out. A failing capacitor, a contactor with pitted contacts, and a control board showing fault codes: we find these during maintenance and resolve them at the same visit, under one contract, with no scheduling gap.
What Every Maintenance Visit Includes
Every service call starts with a complete inspection, not a checklist glance. Here is what we measure and test at every visit.
Refrigerant Charge Measurement
We measure refrigerant pressure against the manufacturer’s rated charge. Low refrigerant is not a normal consumable, it indicates a leak. We locate the source, repair it, and recharge to spec. Our EPA 608-certified technicians handle all refrigerant work in compliance with California regulations.
Evaporator and Condenser Coil Inspection
Dirty coils reduce heat transfer efficiency by up to 30 percent and force the compressor to run longer and hotter. We inspect both coils, clean them if needed, and note any signs of corrosion or physical damage that would affect long-term performance.
Electrical Component Check
We test capacitors, contactors, and control board operation under load. These components degrade before they fail completely, and catching a weak capacitor during maintenance costs a fraction of an emergency service call when the compressor refuses to start.
Condensate Drain Flush
A blocked condensate drain causes water backup into the air handler, promoting mold growth and triggering safety shutoffs. We flush the drain line and verify the float switch is operational.
Airflow and Filter Assessment
Restricted airflow is the most common cause of early system failure in Bay Area homes. We check static pressure, inspect the filter, and assess duct condition where accessible. If airflow is restricted at the air handler, we document it.
Thermostat Calibration and Stage Verification
We verify that the thermostat is reading room temperature accurately and that every heating and cooling stage activates correctly. A 2-degree sensor error causes the system to run longer than necessary on every cycle.
Full System Performance Report
Written findings with measurements and recommendations. You keep the report with no commitment required. If repairs are recommended, we provide a separate written quote before any work begins.
Dedicated Circuits as Part of a Larger Incentive Project
A standalone dedicated circuit typically does not qualify for rebates on its own. When the circuit is installed as part of a qualifying project – EV charger, heat pump, or heat pump water heater – the electrical work is often included in the rebate calculation under Bay Area incentive programs.
Local utility programs can be stacked with state programs. We check what applies to your specific project at the free estimate and handle all documentation.

Rebate availability changes quickly and is often first-come, first-served or waitlisted. We calculate your exact eligibility and current stacking options as part of the free estimate – no guesswork, no surprises.
A Maintenance Visit Costs Less Than One Repair Call
The average emergency HVAC repair in the Bay Area costs several times more than a scheduled maintenance visit. Most of what we find during maintenance, a weak capacitor, a dirty coil, or low refrigerant, would have triggered a no-cool or no-heat call within one to two seasons. Catching it now is cheaper, faster, and avoids the inconvenience of a system failure in July or January.
From Booking to Completed Visit
Step 1
Book Online or by Phone
Tell us which system you have, when it was last serviced, and whether you have noticed any performance changes. We confirm same-day or next-available scheduling. Maintenance visits are available 24/7, including weekends.
Step 2
On-Site System Inspection
The technician runs through the complete checklist: refrigerant charge, electrical components, coil condition, condensate drain, airflow, and thermostat calibration. This takes 60 to 90 minutes and covers every subsystem. We measure, not assume.
Step 3
Written Performance Report
You receive a written summary of every item checked, the measured values, and our assessment of what is within spec and what needs attention. This is not a verbal overview. You keep the report regardless of whether any repairs are needed.
Step 4
Repair Quote if Needed
If we find items that require attention, we provide a separate written repair quote before any work begins. You review it, ask questions, and decide. No pressure, no time limit. If you choose not to proceed, there is no charge beyond the maintenance visit fee.
Step 5
Same-Visit Repairs When Parts Are Available
We stock the most common HVAC service parts on our vehicles: capacitors, contactors, reversing valves, and control components. If you approve the repair and the part is on the vehicle, most work is completed the same day. We do not start until you have approved the quote.
Why Bay Area Homeowners Schedule Maintenance With Us
HVAC and Electrical Under One Roof
Most HVAC maintenance calls uncover electrical issues: a failing capacitor, a contactor with worn contacts, or a control board throwing fault codes. A single-trade HVAC contractor finds these and schedules a second visit with an electrician. We hold both licenses and handle everything at the same appointment.
Written Report, No Verbal Estimates
Every maintenance visit ends with a written performance report. Measured values, observations, and any recommended repairs with a separate written quote. You leave the visit with documentation, not a technician's verbal summary that is difficult to act on later.
Same-Day Service, 24/7 Availability
Maintenance visits are available any day of the week, including weekends. If your building manager, property schedule, or personal calendar requires a specific window, we accommodate it. Call before noon, and we are there the same day in most cases across San Jose and the Bay Area.
What You Get
Maintenance Tasks We Handle in San Jose
Refrigerant pressure check and leak test
Low refrigerant damages the compressor over time. We locate the source, repair it, and recharge to manufacturer spec. EPA 608-certified work, in compliance with California regulations.
Evaporator and condenser coil cleaning
Dirty coils reduce efficiency by up to 30 percent and cause the system to run longer and hotter on every cycle.
Capacitor and contactor testing
These components degrade quietly before they fail. Finding a weak capacitor during maintenance costs a fraction of the emergency call when the compressor stops starting.
Condensate Drain Flush
Prevents water damage and mold buildup common in Bay Area summer humidity. We verify the float switch is functional after flushing.
Airflow and Filter Assessment
Restricted airflow is the single most common cause of early system failure. We check static pressure and duct condition where accessible.
Thermostat calibration and stage check
A 2-degree sensor error forces the system to run longer than it needs to on every cycle, wasting energy and adding wear.

HVAC Maintenance, Answered Honestly
How often should I have my HVAC system maintained?
Once a year is the standard recommendation for most Bay Area homes. If your system runs year-round as a heat pump, twice a year is reasonable: once before the cooling season in spring and once before the heating season in fall. Homes with pets, older ductwork, or systems running in dusty environments benefit from more frequent filter checks between visits.
What is the difference between a maintenance visit and a diagnostic service call?
A diagnostic service call is scheduled because something is wrong: the system is not cooling, making a noise, or tripping the breaker. The visit focuses on finding and resolving a specific fault. A maintenance visit assumes the system is running and checks it proactively against specs: refrigerant charge, electrical component condition, coil cleanliness, drain line, airflow, and thermostat calibration. Both visits include a written report and the same licensed technicians.
My system seems to be working fine. Do I still need maintenance?
Yes, you do. The performance indicators most homeowners notice, whether the house reaches temperature, are lagging indicators of system health. By the time a system is visibly struggling, the compressor has already been running under elevated load for weeks or months. Refrigerant is low before the system fails to cool. A capacitor is degrading before the compressor refuses to start. Maintenance visits find these conditions before they become failures.
What does a maintenance visit cost in San Jose?
Maintenance visit pricing varies based on system type and property size. We confirm the price when you book. Contact us directly or request a free estimate for current rates.
Does maintenance affect my equipment warranty?
Most manufacturer warranties require documented annual maintenance to remain valid. If a compressor fails and there is no maintenance record, the manufacturer may deny the claim on the basis that the system was not properly maintained. We provide written documentation of every visit, which serves as the maintenance record your warranty may require.
Can you maintain a system that a different company installed?
Yes, you can. We service all major brands regardless of who installed the system. We will need the model and serial number, which we pull from the unit itself during the visit. If the previous contractor left the system in a configuration that differs from the manufacturer spec, we document it and discuss the options with you.
What happens if you find a problem during the maintenance visit?
We document the finding in the written report and provide a separate written repair quote before any work begins. You review it, ask questions, and decide. There is no pressure to proceed, and no time limit on the quote. If you choose to schedule the repair separately, we schedule it on a day that works for you. If the part is on the vehicle and you approve the repair, we can usually complete it the same day.
Do you offer maintenance plans or service agreements?
We are developing a maintenance plan option. Contact us to discuss current availability and what a service agreement would cover for your property.
