What's considered normal HVAC wear and tear?
Most HVAC systems last at least 10 years. Parts naturally wear down over time and need to be repaired or replaced to restore optimal system function.
Routine maintenance helps HVAC technicians identify wear and tear and take preventative action to minimize the effects.
When is the best time of year to schedule HVAC maintenance?
Spring and fall are usually the best times to schedule HVAC maintenance. It’s a good idea to get your unit inspected and cleaned before the high temperatures of summer and the low temperatures in the winter.
What happens if I skip HVAC maintenance?
Regular maintenance helps your unit run at peak performance and last longer. When you skip HVAC maintenance, you put yourself at risk for costly repairs or even premature replacements.
