Maintenance Plans

Why Regular Maintenance Pays for Itself

The cheapest repair is the one you don't have to make. Our maintenance plans catch worn parts, low refrigerant, dirty coils, and clogged filters before they become emergency calls — keeping your equipment efficient, your bills predictable, and your home or business comfortable through every Chicago season.

What's Included

Tune-Ups That Actually Tune Things Up

Our maintenance visits aren't a five-minute filter swap and a clipboard checklist. We pull covers, test electricals, measure refrigerant pressures, clean coils, calibrate thermostats, and walk every component the manufacturer flags for inspection. If something's drifting toward failure, we tell you — before it leaves you without heat or AC.

Plans are built around your equipment and how hard it works. A single-family furnace in Glenview gets a different schedule than a 12-rooftop commercial site or a walk-in cooler running 24/7. We tailor the visits, the frequency, and the cost so it fits the property — not a generic template.

Plan members also get priority dispatch when something does go wrong, member-only repair pricing, and a written report after every visit so you know exactly what was done.

How It Works

How a Maintenance Plan Works

Three simple steps — no surprises, no upsells, no contracts you can't cancel.

01

Schedule

Tell us about your equipment and how the property is used. We'll recommend a visit cadence — usually twice a year for residential, more often for commercial — and lock dates on your calendar.

02

Visit

A licensed technician arrives on time, runs the full manufacturer-spec inspection, replaces filters, cleans coils, tests safeties, and flags anything trending toward failure.

03

Report

You get a written report with photos, current readings, and any recommended follow-ups — with member pricing on parts and labor if a repair is needed.

Stop Paying for Surprises

Plan Benefits

What You Get
With a Northstar Plan

Every plan is built around the same core promise: protect the equipment, protect the budget, and protect the people who use the building. Here's what that looks like in practice.

01

Longer Equipment Life

Furnaces, AC units, heat pumps, and refrigeration systems that get serviced on schedule routinely outlast unmaintained equipment by 30–50%. That's years of avoided replacement costs from a few hundred dollars in tune-ups.

02

Lower Bills

Clean coils and proper refrigerant levels cut energy use month after month.

03

Priority Service

Members get dispatched first on emergency calls.

04

Fewer Breakdowns

Worn parts caught early. Failures prevented before they start.

05

Predictable Budget

Flat plan pricing — no end-of-season surprises.

06

Warranty Protection

Many manufacturer warranties require documented annual maintenance.

07

Peace of Mind

You stop thinking about the HVAC. We're tracking the schedule, watching the readings, and handling the filters. If something needs attention, you'll hear from us — not from a system that just quit.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about HVAC maintenance plans. Don't see yours? Call us at (224) 398-9199.

Twice a year is the standard for most residential systems — once in spring for the AC and once in fall for the furnace. Commercial equipment, heat pumps that run year-round, and refrigeration systems usually need quarterly visits or more, depending on hours of operation.
A real tune-up covers the full manufacturer inspection: coil cleaning, refrigerant pressure check, electrical and capacitor tests, blower inspection, thermostat calibration, safety controls, drain lines, filter replacement, and a heat-exchanger check on furnaces. You get a written report with the readings.
Yes. Plan members get discounted pricing on parts and labor for any repair that comes up between scheduled visits, plus priority dispatch on emergency calls — including nights, weekends, and holidays.
Yes — single-family homes, condos, multi-unit buildings, restaurants, retail, offices, and warehouses. We tailor the visit frequency, equipment list, and pricing to whatever the property actually uses, so you're not paying for a template.
No multi-year lock-ins. Plans run on a 12-month cycle and you can cancel at the end of any term. We'd rather earn the renewal each year than trap anyone in a contract.
Almost always. Clean, properly-tuned equipment uses less energy every month. Catching a worn capacitor or low refrigerant early costs a fraction of an emergency call or a full system replacement five years sooner than necessary. Most plans pay for themselves in avoided repairs and energy savings within the first year.
