Repairs and Preventative Maintenance
Prevent Problems, Extend System Life, and Stay Comfortable
Heating and cooling systems don’t wait for a convenient time to break down. Whether it’s a furnace that stops working in the middle of a cold front or an AC system that can’t keep up during summer, you need a contractor who will respond quickly, diagnose accurately, and deliver honest solutions.
At SMI HVAC Services, we provide prompt, professional HVAC repairs and proactive maintenance for homeowners throughout Santa Maria and Santa Barbara County. Whether your system is standard residential or commercial-grade equipment installed in a large estate, we’ve got the tools and experience to keep it running efficiently.
We treat every home we enter with respect — and every homeowner like a long-term client, not a sales target.
Tailored Service for Every Home
Every home is different — and every HVAC system comes with its own challenges. At SMI HVAC Services, we service everything from small single-zone setups to complex commercial-grade systems in large residential properties.
For Standard Homes:
We provide fast, affordable service for gas furnaces, central AC units, heat pumps, and traditional HVAC setups.
For Large Homes & Estates:
We handle oversized units, multi-zone systems, and rooftop HVAC equipment that may require commercial-level attention. These systems need more specialized care — and we have the experience to deliver it.
When to Call for HVAC Repairs
You don’t need to wait for a total system failure to call us. Early signs of trouble can often be resolved with simple repairs — saving you from costlier problems down the road.
Common signs your heating or cooling system needs repair:
- Sudden rise in energy bills
- System short-cycling or turning off unexpectedly
- Noisy operation (buzzing, rattling, or grinding sounds)
- Weak airflow through vents
- Water or refrigerant leaks
- Unresponsive thermostat
- Inconsistent temperatures between rooms
- Unusual odors during operation
Whether you’re dealing with a broken part or an airflow issue, we’ll find the root cause — and explain it clearly before any work begins.
Preventive HVAC Maintenance — Why It Matters
Routine maintenance is the best way to prevent surprise breakdowns and extend the life of your HVAC system. Even newer systems benefit from scheduled service, and older systems depend on it.
Our residential HVAC maintenance services include:
- Full performance check and system testing
- Cleaning of coils, burners, and blower components
- Filter replacement
- Refrigerant pressure check
- Electrical connection inspection
- Safety switch testing and thermostat calibration
- Inspection of ductwork and airflow
We recommend two maintenance visits per year — one in the spring for cooling, and one in the fall for heating.
