Actually, an annual check/cleaning of your system is a good idea, especially if you have natural gas for the furnace. It's cheap Insurance.

After an cleaning/inspection of my natural gas furnace in Minnesota, they found it had a hole in the manifold, which can produce carbon monoxide.

I take issue with several of the HVAC companies who use the term "tune-up". It reminds me of the old days when you had to get your car tuned up with new spark plugs, points, distributor cap, etc. Checking and cleaning your HVAC system is not a tune-up, and can be done by any homeowner. You don't need an HVAC technician for that.

Stay away from Patricks. New owners charged us $1,600 for a warranty replacement that took less than 3 hours.

Chuck Farrell Air
 

this shows the new demographic of the villages, Chuck has been around for at least 20 years, and He is well-known to those of us who have been here longer. The new people, unless they have a neighbor who is an old-timer:wave: won't know to recommend Chuck.

Munn’s did our original. 23 years old Trane just replaced a month ago. They do Carrier now. Prepare to pay about $8500. Great service, been around The Villages for a long time.

Just spent 6500.00 for a 3ton Carrier , COMPLETE with gas Furnace Handi Air ( did me right)

I used M&S Air Conditioning to replace my HVAC about 3 years ago. I replaced my 12 SEER Trane AC with a more efficient 16 SEER Trane. It was a smooth process and I have been very happy with the results.

Also have an annual maintenance contract with them. Their technicians are professional.
