How Often Should You Service Your HVAC?
Experts recommend servicing your HVAC system twice a year:
- Spring – Air conditioning tune-up
- Fall – Furnace or heat pump tune-up
If you have a heat pump that runs year-round, stick to the biannual schedule. Skipping maintenance might seem harmless, but it can lead to higher energy bills, reduced comfort, and expensive repairs.
What’s Included in a Standard HVAC Tune-Up?
A typical tune-up may include:
-
Checking refrigerant levels and pressures
-
Cleaning coils and condenser
-
Inspecting and tightening electrical connections
-
Lubricating moving parts
-
Replacing air filters
