Many homeowners don’t realize that their HVAC system works harder than most household appliances. Just like your car needs regular oil changes, your heating and cooling system requires consistent attention to perform at its best.
What Regular Maintenance Includes:
- Filter replacement or cleaning
- Coil inspection and cleaning
- Electrical connection tightening
- Moving parts lubrication
- Thermostat calibration check
Scheduling bi-annual maintenance visits—typically in spring and fall—ensures your system is ready for the demanding seasons ahead. This proactive approach helps prevent system failures during extreme weather when you need your HVAC system most.
