Our NATE-certified technicians perform thorough 20+ point inspections twice a year: once in spring for cooling, once in fall for heating. We clean evaporator and condenser coils, check refrigerant levels, tighten electrical connections, lubricate moving parts, test thermostat accuracy, and inspect safety controls. These steps restore up to 95% of original efficiency, extend equipment life, and prevent 85% of common breakdowns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Exclusive Comfort Club Benefits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you join the Coventry &amp; Gattis A\/C, Inc.
