Heating and air conditioning maintenance is crucial for ensuring that HVAC systems operate efficiently and reliably year-round. Regular maintenance involves tasks such as cleaning or replacing air filters, checking refrigerant levels, inspecting coils and ducts, and ensuring all components are functioning properly. Scheduling regular service helps prevent breakdowns, boosts energy efficiency, and extends the lifespan of your system. By addressing minor issues before they become major problems, both homeowners and businesses can enjoy consistent comfort, lower utility costs, and a more eco-friendly system.

It’s recommended to schedule HVAC maintenance for residential customers at least once a year—ideally, and for commercial twice a year.
HVAC maintenance typically includes cleaning or replacing air filters, checking/calibrating the thermostat, inspecting / clearing condensate drains, inspecting and cleaning coils, checking refrigerant levels, inspecting the blower and motor, and ensuring proper system operation. The technician may also inspect ductwork and check for leaks.
Regular maintenance helps improve the efficiency and lifespan of your HVAC system, reduces the likelihood of break-downs, and lowers energy bills. It also ensures better air quality, as filters and ducts are cleaned and maintained to prevent dust and allergens from circulating.
Signs that your system may need maintenance include unusual noises, inconsistent temperatures, poor airflow, increased energy bills, or the system cycling on and off more frequently. If you notice any of these issues, it’s best to have your system professionally inspected.
To boost efficiency, change air filters regularly, seal leaks in ducts and around windows, set your thermostat to energy-saving temperatures, and keep vents clear of obstructions. Scheduling regular maintenance and upgrading to a programmable thermostat can also help optimize efficiency.
While there are some tasks you can handle, like replacing air filters and checking the thermostat, keeping weeds away from outdoor equipment, it’s essential to have a professional technician perform a full inspection. They have the tools and expertise to address potential issues and perform critical maintenance safely.
Skipping regular maintenance can lead to decreased efficiency, higher energy bills, more frequent repairs, and a shorter lifespan for your HVAC system. It can also result in a system breakdown at an inopportune time, leading to costly emergency repairs.
A typical HVAC maintenance visit usually takes 1 to 2 hours, depending on the complexity of the system and any issues found. The technician will perform a thorough inspection, cleaning, and necessary adjustments during this time.
The best times for HVAC maintenance are typically before the heating season (fall) and before the cooling season (spring). Scheduling maintenance in advance helps ensure your system is ready to handle the upcoming season’s demands.
Signs of efficiency include stable temperatures throughout your home, low energy bills, and the system running quietly. If you experience frequent temperature fluctuations, high energy costs, or the system runs constantly, it could indicate that your system is not operating efficiently and may need maintenance.
