Maintenance Plans
Stay Comfortable Year-Round With Our Maintenance Plans
Bloomington Homeowners Trust Southside for Peace of Mind
Our maintenance plan, or Comfort Club, keeps your heating and cooling systems running at peak efficiency — preventing costly breakdowns and extending equipment life across Minnesota’s demanding seasons. With scheduled professional tune-ups, member pricing on repairs, and a written record of your system’s condition, a plan turns unpredictable comfort into something you can count on year after year. Schedule your first tune-up and lock in member benefits with a family-owned team backed by 48 years of industry experience.
Our Process
How Our Maintenance Plan Works
1. Join Our Comfort Club
One plan, and it covers the equipment you already have — furnaces, air conditioners and heat pumps. Everything below is what membership includes; there are no tiers to compare and nothing to work out.
- Two visits a year, timed to the heating and cooling seasons
- 10% off parts needed for service (excluding refrigerant)
- A full tune-up inspection each season
- An extended warranty for customers who maintain their equipment from installation date
2. Schedule Your First Tune-Up
Contact us to lock in your plan membership and book your first seasonal tune-up. Spring (for cooling season) or fall (for heating season) are ideal timing.
- We’ll confirm your equipment details and any previous service records
- Your technician will arrive on schedule and work around your availability
- Tune-ups typically take about an hour to complete, depending on your system
3. Receive a Detailed Inspection
Our technician performs a comprehensive system check aligned with manufacturer standards and EPA/NATE guidelines.
- Visual inspection of all components: blower motor, condensing coil, electrical terminals
- Testing of electrical components
- Refrigerant charge verification (cooling systems)
- Filter check for proper airflow
- Check operation of thermostat to control system
- Written findings report provided at visit end
4. Get Your Annual Maintenance Report
You’ll receive documentation of all work performed, test results, and any recommendations for future service or upgrades.
- Report shows system condition
- Recommendations for repairs or replacements are delivered upfront — never a surprise
- Your plan discount applies immediately if repairs are needed
5. Enjoy Member Savings
As a plan member, you receive preferred appointment windows and special pricing on all repairs, maintenance, and system upgrades for the year ahead.
- Call us for any repair need; mention your membership and save immediately
- Members often recoup their plan cost within the first repair visit
- Renew annually to keep the benefits flowing
Why Choose Us
Why Choose to Join the Southside Heating & Air Conditioning Comfort Club
Predictable Comfort, Season After Season
Scheduled tune-ups catch small issues before they become emergency repairs. Your furnace won’t quit on the coldest day; your AC won’t fail in summer heat.
Lower Repair Costs and Member Pricing
Members receive special discounts on repairs — savings that offset the plan cost in the first year for most homeowners.
Family-Owned Accountability, Three Generations In
Three generations of our family have built Southside around long-term relationships, not one-time sales. A maintenance plan deepens that commitment: we’re invested in keeping your system running.
NATE-Certified & EPA-Certified Expertise
All tune-ups are performed by EPA-Certified and NATE-Certified technicians who follow manufacturer specifications for your specific equipment — Lennox, Ruud, Rheem, GE, and more.
Annual Equipment Inspections With a Written Report
Every visit includes a detailed system check: refrigerant levels, electrical connections, airflow, and efficiency tests. You’ll get a written report of findings and any recommendations, covering the same work our air conditioning, furnace, and heat pump maintenance visits include.
Backed by Decades of Local Trust
Since 1978, we’ve earned BBB A+ recognition and multiple SUN Readers’ Choice Awards by treating customers’ homes like our own. That reputation is built on relationships, and a maintenance plan is how we stay involved in keeping your home comfortable long after the first visit.
What Your Maintenance Plan Protects
Minnesota’s climate is hard on heating and cooling equipment. A furnace works through months of deep cold, then an air conditioner takes over for humid summers, and both spend the shoulder seasons cycling through wide temperature swings. That constant demand is exactly why a maintenance plan pays off — it keeps every part of your comfort system tuned for the conditions it actually faces.
- Heating systems — your furnace or heat pump is your lifeline through winter, and regular tune-ups keep burners clean, check safety controls, and confirm the system is ready before the first hard freeze
- Cooling systems — central air conditioning and ductless mini-split units lose efficiency when coils are dirty or refrigerant is off, and a spring tune-up restores cooling performance through the hottest stretches of summer
- Water heating — both tank and tankless water heaters benefit from annual service that checks connections, tests safety components, and extends equipment life so you’re not caught without hot water
- Air quality and controls — your plan visit is also the right time to review filtration, humidity, and thermostat settings, keeping your whole system running the way it was designed to
Preventive care does more than avoid breakdowns. A well-maintained system runs more efficiently, holds its manufacturer warranty coverage, and lasts longer — so the plan protects both your comfort and the investment you’ve already made in your equipment.
Ready to Join the Comfort Club?
Starting a plan is just a phone call away. Our team will walk you through the options, answer your questions, and schedule your first tune-up at a time that works for you. Many members find their plan pays for itself after just one repair visit, and every visit adds to a service history that helps us care for your equipment more effectively over the years. Whether you’re protecting a brand-new installation or extending the life of an older system, a maintenance plan is one of the simplest ways to safeguard your home comfort and your budget.
