Tasks That Should Be Included with Your Home HVAC Maintenance

You rely on your HVAC system for home comfort throughout the year. The last thing you want is for the air conditioner to power down on a hot summer day or the heating to stop working on a freezing winter night. The smartest method to keep your heating and cooling system from shutting down is to plan an annual HVAC tune-up with Stevenson Service Experts 

Why Does My HVAC System Have to Have Maintenance? 

Your HVAC system hides behind ceilings and floors, so it’s not hard to forget about it. However, a neglected system is probably going to work less efficiently, malfunction more often, and meet the end of its life span more quickly. 

The purpose of an HVAC tune-up is to keep your furnace functioning well all year. 

In the process, you could likely: 

  • Reduce your heating and cooling expenses 
  • Experience a smaller number of expensive repairs 
  • Add years to your system’s life

Not to mention, it’s required by manufacturers to keep your warranty valid. As a result of these perks, the cost of tuning up your HVAC system is an investment that pays for itself. 

It’s best to arrange maintenance annually for each HVAC system. This means booking an appointment for your air conditioning every spring and having your furnace inspected and cleaned every fall. With this timing, you prepare the proper system to perform at its best in the approaching cooling or heating season.
