Keeping up with maintenance is the easiest way to ensure your HVAC system remains efficient. Whether you have a heat pump or furnace, you can prolong the life of your equipment with routine tune-ups. These will also help prevent breakdowns from occurring.
Property managers and homeowners usually ask how often they need to schedule preventative HVAC maintenance. Continue reading to find out what the experts advise.
When Should You Schedule Your HVAC Service?
Experts recommend scheduling an HVAC inspection and maintenance at least twice a year. Ideally, you should schedule the service in spring and in the fall in preparation for the cooling and heating cooling seasons. Set a tune-up appointment for your air conditioner in late winter or early spring just before warmer weather arrives. Make sure to have your furnace seen by a professional before winter, in late summer or early fall.
If your technician finds issues with your equipment, make sure to schedule an air conditioning or heating repair immediately. Waiting too long to address problems can compromise the efficiency of your HVAC system. It can also lead to sudden breakdowns and even early failure.
How Do You Prepare for Your HVAC Technician’s Visit?
Always be careful when handling any HVAC equipment to prevent voiding your warranty. Before your technician arrives, clean up debris surrounding your outdoor unit. Look for holes and leaks in the coil and cabinet. Inside, take note of any strange noises or odors coming from your equipment. You can also look for leaks in your ductwork and check the wiring and connections in the control box.
