HVAC systems keep your home comfortable all year long, from eliminating the effects of summer heat to keeping your family warm all winter. Without residential HVAC maintenance, however, your systems could come to an unexpected halt. To improve your comfort and its energy efficiency and lifespan, upkeep is crucial. Here’s your go-to guide to maintaining your system.

The Annual Checkup

All heating and cooling equipment should be inspected once a year. Your contractor will examine each unit from top to bottom, clean out debris, and provide the necessary services to keep your systems up and running. When residential HVAC maintenance is a priority, your air conditioner won’t have to struggle to keep your house cool, saving you money on your energy bills and prolonging its life. Outside of this, make sure you change your system’s air filters every few months to keep it clean and running well. 

System Specifics

While the annual checkup applies to all heating and cooling equipment, there are certain times your contractor should be called. There’s no need to get your heating system checked in the middle of summer. Professionals recommend a heating inspection each fall before the cold weather sets in. If you need a new furnace installation, for example, fall’s the time to do it. 

To avoid a heat wave indoors and unnecessary air conditioner repairs, schedule your cooling system’s inspection in the spring. When the summer arrives, it’ll be ready to go. If there are any issues that require a fix, your contractor will get to work so you don’t have to worry about sweating through the summer’s heat.
