Heating and Cooling Maintenance

Kellam Home Services Signature Multipoint Cooling/HVAC Reliability & Safety Inspection

Over the course of the year, your air conditioning system collects dust and debris, which reduces its efficiency and can lead to higher energy bills. Without regular A/C tune-ups and maintenance, your heat pump or air handler is far more likely to fail—often at the worst possible time. We’re here to make sure that doesn’t happen.

    We selected Kellam Mechanical to replace our 2 ac/heat systems on our home due to coworker recommendation. Our first contact with customer service started a great relationship. Within 2 hours, a technician (MORGAN) was onsite and accessing our heating issues (he definately knows his job). … More We decided to replace both systems since they were at end of life. The installation team installed 2 dual fuel HVAC systems w/ductwork. Entire worksite was kept clean during entire process. BEST 40K spent. We highly recommend them and will keep on our phone for any other mechanical issues that may arise. 😉 😀
