Fresh and clean HVAc system

Hiring an HVAC company is a big deal, especially if you’re in a bind. At GMC Heating and Cooling, we’re proud to offer residential and light commercial HVAC Installs and Repairs in Canton, Massillon, North Canton, and other areas across Stark County.

If you’re interested in never having to worry about whether or not you’ll have access to HVAC Repair in Canton (and Stark County as a whole) enrolling in a Preventative Maintenance Program is a great way to get that process started. At GMC Heating and Cooling, we offer a bi-annual maintenance program that is under $200/year. This program includes bi-annual inspections in the Spring and Fall.

Why having an HVAC preventative maintenance checklist comes in handy.


Preventative maintenance contracts can vary wildly between companies; however, the most important thing is that you’re aware of what you’re signing up for and how to take advantage of it. Let’s explore the GMC Heating and Cooling preventative maintenance program.

Stark County, Ohio HVAC Preventative Maintenance 

If you’re a resident in Stark County seeking out HVAC preventative maintenance programs, you’re going to want to make sure that whichever HVAC company you choose follows the following steps AT A MINIMUM in order to avoid waking up to a cold home in the middle of January.

  • Check All Filters 

  • Inspect the Ignition Burner (Used to be called a Pilot Light)

  • Inspect Heat Exchanger and Heating Elements

  • Inspect all vents, and ensure secure attachment

  • Assess for Gas Leaks and Pressure (Gas Furnace Only)

We also make it a point to check all drain lines, electrical connections, and any moving parts within your furnace system. At GMC Heating and Cooling, we pride ourselves on our thoroughness and cleanliness. Don’t just take our word for it, see what our customers have to say.

Spring/summer HVAC preventative maintenance checklist

The Winter/Fall inspection is only half of the preventative maintenance program. Once the weather starts to warm up, it’s time to ensure that the other half of your HVAC system is primed and ready to battle the heat and humidity of Stark County summers.

In the springtime, you’re going to want to make sure your AC is ready to rock and roll, especially with how uncertain weather conditions can be in Stark County. In Canton, you may have your AC on full blast - but if it’s not taken care of properly you’ll just end up with a big fan instead of an AC Unit.

Here are some tips from our technicians:

  • Uncover / de-winterize outside AC Unit

  • Clean or replace filters

  • Clean condenser and evaporator coils

  • Clean drain lines for proper flow and clear clogs

  • Replace worn pulleys and belts

  • Observe humidity levels

  • Check refrigerant charge and for leak

  • Test thermostats and controls to make sure temperatures and timer functions are correctly set

On top of all of the above, our technicians at GMC Heating and Cooling check all fan motors and lubricate any necessary moving parts. All in all, every inch of your HVAC system is inspected every year so there are very rarely any surprises that you aren’t anticipating.

As you can see, these bi-annual preventative maintenance programs cover a lot of ground. On top of making sure that your entire HVAC system is inspected every year, we also provide Free Service Calls (during normal business hours) to all of our local customers that join the preventative maintenance program. No matter where you live in Stark County, if you’re on our program and you feel like something is off with your HVAC system, we’ll send a technician to your house to inspect the issue and help get you taken care of right away.
