Quotes:

"Making sure the power is on to the unit... I've gone out on a few calls where they've gone into a laundry room, and little kids, they like to mess with whatever they can touch."

"Change the filter. That's probably the number one call we get... Can cause it to not keep up when it's cold or hot out."
"Know that you have a filter and where it's located... Just know that you have a filter in your system."
"Cleaning the coil yourself... can help things run more smoothly, and sometimes that can cause a breakdown."
"Keeping animals away from it is a good one... They can cause some damage to this thing that is going to be causing you guys calls for us to come out to take a look at that."
"Keeping that air clear around it or the area clean around it is actually huge... It just can't breathe. And if it can't breathe, it can't do its air exchange magic."
"If you're hearing some funny noises that you never heard before... that might be something that's getting ready to cause some damage."
"Turn it off... because there's no point in running it if it is cooling or heating. It's not probably cooling or heating like it needs to and it's going to cause more damage."
"That's another thing with preventative maintenance, it might be something as easy as we could have just did some cleaning, adjusting or small part replacement or something... something small. And that could be, could have been prevented."
