Keeping up with the maintenance of your heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system is essential for it to function properly and be energy efficient. An annual check-up that takes place twice a year, once for heating and once for cooling, can help you enjoy greater indoor comfort all year round. Staying on top of the upkeep of air conditioning systems can help prevent many of the common issues that lead to expensive repairs. One of the most important benefits of regular maintenance is that a professional technician will be able to detect if your unit needs repair or is at risk of a breakdown and will fix it before the HVAC unit stops working.
Regular maintenance also helps to extend the life of your heating and cooling system and reduce costly repairs. Some of the routine HVAC maintenance measures include:
- Checking the thermostat settings
- Cleaning or replacing air filters
- Inspecting electrical connections
- Checking refrigerant levels
- Cleaning evaporator and condenser coils
