Maintenance
Preventative maintenance can be a game changer in the life of the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) and plumbing systems in your Pennsylvania home.
Replacing air filters, cleaning equipment, inspecting parts for potential problems, and testing for leaks and cracks can prevent inconvenient breakdowns and costly repairs. Professional preventative maintenance is crucial if you want your HVAC equipment to run efficiently and to last longer. It is one of the best ways to protect your investment in your Harrisburg home’s heating and cooling system.
Let HL Bowman keep your HVAC system in top shape through scheduled inspections, tune-ups, and cleanings.
We are a third-generation, family-owned HVAC and plumbing company at HL Bowman—since 1946. The core family values we operate by are integrated throughout how we conduct business on a daily basis. When you work with our team, we treat you as family. Quality and customer satisfaction are top priorities to us.
Your satisfaction in your Harrisburg area home comfort is everything to us at HL Bowman.
What Is Involved in Maintenance?
We are well versed in every kind of HVAC and plumbing system, and we take account of manufacturer recommendations when addressing your maintenance needs. Our professional team strongly recommends an annual spring air conditioner checkup and a fall tune-up for your furnace. Handling both heating and cooling, heat pumps should be inspected twice a year.
You will avoid mineral buildup that can slow water flow in your water heater if you have us flush the system annually. Your ductwork will benefit from a cleaning every five years, with inspections and possible repairs every two years. We will inspect your equipment for leaks, cracks, worn parts, and cleanliness before we perform a thorough cleaning, tune-up, and filter replacement.
DIY Maintenance
Ask one of our HL Bowman professionals what you can do to keep your HVAC system running smoothly in between professional cleanings and tune-ups. Changing your furnace filter every few months, removing debris from around your air conditioner or heat pump, and covering your air conditioner during our Pennsylvania winters are a few recommended do-it-yourself (DIY) tasks.
Leave the professional maintenance work to our experts. Our team has the knowledge and experience to safely work with both gas and oil furnaces, water heaters, indoor air quality (IAQ) systems, heat pumps, and air conditioning systems.
HVAC Maintenance Repairs
During a routine maintenance visit, we can identify potential problems before they become major repair issues or total system breakdowns. Preventative maintenance enables us to provide a proactive solution. It will also keep you compliant with your manufacturer’s warranty.
However, if you ever suspect your HVAC system needs a repair, call our HL Bowman experts for a prompt diagnosis and cost estimate. You can trust us to recommend a practical solution, and we will never try to sell you equipment or services you don’t need. We are non-commission based, so our team members are not incentivized to make sales for commissions.
Our trained professionals keep abreast of the latest in HVAC trends and technology, doing the job right the first time.
Our Maintenance Value Plans (MVP)
Your Central Pennsylvania home is your largest investment. That’s why we invite you to join our Maintenance Value Plan (MVP), and enjoy the benefits.
We can’t stress enough the importance of ongoing heating and air conditioning maintenance service plans. Our HL Bowman preventative maintenance program provides discounts and other benefits while keeping your HVAC equipment in top shape.
The plans are designed to help you avoid costly repairs, replacement, loss of comfort, inconvenience, or loss of safety. We like to compare it to a smoke alarm—helping to prevent major problems—or putting out the fire before it becomes a very expensive problem.
At HL Bowman, we offer memberships for everyone, so be sure to speak with one of our friendly and knowledgeable team members for details.

“I had an appointment for maintenance scheduled for 11/17/2025 which is included in my service contract with them, during the morning hours, because I was asked if I wanted the appointment to be scheduled during the morning, afternoon or any time throughout the regular business hours, I chose in the morning because of my availability, but the technician never called me during the morning and or showed up at my property, and called me in the afternoon, I explained to him that I made the appointment in the morning hours due to my availability, and he then ask me if I wanted to re-schedule for next Monday 11/24/2025 during the morning, I said yes, then today I called around 7:15am to make sure that my appointment was scheduled, to my surprise I was told that no appointment is scheduled for my property today, after some back and forward the agent on the phone talks to the "manager" apparently, and schedule me during the morning hours due to my availability, and I was told I would be the second visit for the technician since it was already too late to be his first visit, going forward to 11am, I called again concerned about the appointment, and I was told that my appointment has been moved to the afternoon, without any notification prior, not a call or text or email, so I decided to cancel my appointment and service contract with them, also I would like to mention that the agent on the phone cut me off multiple times during the conversation, not allowing me to express myself about the frustration and the situation that was happening. I would like to point out that service contract was for the past 8 months for the amount of 29.16 X 8 = 233.28 and I never got a single service since then, and the only time I requested a service maintenance I never got it.”
“I had a lock in my basement which was caused by a clogged sewer pipe which had to be unclogged then have new seal put in new liner in pipe. HL Bowman sent Zack Wagner, Nicholas Buchanan Nick Krajkowski , Christian Gelbaugh and AJ
Everyone a 10. This is the 3rd large job done by HL Bowman. I highly recommend this company and have a yearly contract with them.”
“Conner was very efficient and knowledgeable about the products and services available.”
“Dan Ball was our technician yesterday (11-3-25) and he arrived at the correct appointment time. After he completed his job he explained the work he performed and sent us the invoice electronically. We are very happy. Thank Dan Ball for us, please.”
“Today we had a regular maintenance call to prepare for upcoming winter and Brandon our Bowman specialist took us through the process step by step. Brandon also show us exactly where we had some issues that actually saved our family from potential carbon monoxide risk. Brandon then had to break it to us we needed a new system. However, the Bowman staff worked with us and gave us an exceptional deal along with financing. We ended up with excellent service and feeling much happier thanks to Brandon and Bowman staff. You will not regret your choice to work with Bowman. They treat you like a family. Thank you Brandon!”
“Adam came to inspect and service our boiler system in our 196 year old house. Pre Civil War….it is comforting to know that someone like Adam was so knowledgable about our older system.
He gave exceptional service, showed up on time, was respectful of our home,
and was kind enough to reccomend updates to make the system run as efficiently as it can for the new year ahead. I will be happy to be using this company for all our heating needs.”
“The service during my most recent semi-annual HVAC maintenance was exceptional. The technician, Michael, was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to clearly explain everything. Great overall experience.”
“Brett Bartley called before arriving and was on time. He did the yearly check up on my gas furnace in a timely manner and was very friendly. I very much liked the 2-hour window for my appointment instead of the 4-hour window that you used to give. Consideration for my time is appreciated.
Thank you.”
“Brandon Freysinger showed up promptly and did a quick, efficient job with servicing my mini-splits. I had to change my scheduled appointment due to an unexpected conflict so I was moved up to the next day. I also had an appointment late morning that day. So Brandon came 1st thing in the morning and finished in time for me to easily make that appt.”
