Do you have a maintenance agreement for your heating and cooling system? If not, it’s time to consider one. It can make a huge difference in how well your HVAC system functions. It can also help you determine how often you should have it maintained. Take a look at some helpful information regarding your heating and air conditioning.
How Often Should You Get HVAC Maintenance?
The standard maintenance windows for most HVAC systems include the spring and the fall. Why? Because you want to prep your system for the change of seasons. In the spring, you’re switching from heat to AC, and you want to make sure your air conditioner is up for the challenge of yet another hot, humid summer. In the fall, as you get ready for cooler weather, you need to get your furnace or heating system ready as well. Fall maintenance will do just that.
