Your HVAC system heats your home during the winter, cools it during the summer, and provides clean air all year long. Like all mechanical devices, it needs the occasional tuneup. By investing in bi-annual HVAC services, you’ll ensure the system remains reliable and that your home remains comfortable. 

A Guide to HVAC System Maintenance 

What Are the Benefits of an HVAC Tuneup?

Maintenance is always cheaper than repairs or replacements. All HVAC systems experience wear and tear with use. Technicians will perform a detailed inspection to find and fix any potential issues before they can affect your system or cause a costly breakdown at an inopportune moment.

When minor issues develop, they place strain on your system, forcing it to work harder to heat or cool your home. The extra strain decreases the life span on your HVAC unit, making a premature replacement necessary.

Maintenance will not only increase the system’s life span but also increase your savings. Tuneups make your HVAC unit run more efficiently, which will reduce stress on the system and translate to a lower energy bill.

By taking advantage of HVAC services, you’ll also maintain the system’s warranty. Nearly all manufacturers make regular tuneups a requirement. Failing to do so will void the warranty. 

What Are Signs Your HVAC Needs a Tuneup? 

To protect your system, invest in HVAC services twice a year—once in the fall to ensure your heating is ready for the winter and again in the spring, so your air conditioner is ready for the summer. However, throughout the year, your system might give you signs that it needs a tuneup. 

One of the most obvious signs is uneven, limited, or even no airflow. If your house is only getting cooled or heated in some areas, your compressor might need to be replaced. 

If you notice unusual sounds, like grinding or grating, this could mean that the system has debris stuck in it or that the motor bearings are damaged. 

Be sure to check for leaks. If the unit is leaking, shut it off immediately, so the liquid doesn’t affect any electrical equipment.
