Tasks That Should Be Included with Your Home HVAC Checkup

You count on your HVAC system for home comfort throughout the year. The last thing you want is for the AC to break down on a hot summer day or the furnace to malfunction on a cold winter night. The smartest way to keep your heating and cooling system from breaking is to set up a regular HVAC tune-up with Stevenson Service Experts 

Why Does My HVAC System Require Checkups? 

Your HVAC system hides behind ceilings and floors, so it’s not hard to forget about it. However, an ignored system is probably going to perform less efficiently, malfunction more regularly, and reach the end of its life cycle prematurely. 

The reason for an HVAC tune-up is to keep your furnace working smoothly all year. 

In the process, you could possibly: 

  • Decrease your utility costs 
  • Have fewer costly repairs 
  • Add years to your system’s life

Aside from that, it’s required by manufacturers to keep your warranty valid. Thanks to these benefits, the fee of maintaining your HVAC system is an investment that pays for itself. 

It’s recommended to schedule maintenance once a year for each HVAC system. This means booking an appointment for your air conditioner every spring and having your furnace inspected and cleaned every fall. With this timing, you prepare the right system to run at its peak in the coming cooling or heating season.
