How Often Should HVAC Be Serviced?

Posted: February 20, 2023

Annual Maintenance Is a Vital Service

You wouldn’t drive an entire year without taking your car to a trusted mechanic to change the oil and perform a safety and maintenance check, would you? If you did, the risk of your car breaking down and leaving you stuck with a high repair bill would increase dramatically.

Just like your car, a home’s heating and central air conditioning equipment has a range of electrical and mechanical components that can wear down or break if you don’t follow your equipment manufacturer’s maintenance recommendations. The manufacturer can also void your warranty if you are negligent with equipment maintenance.

Ideally, a heating and central air conditioning system should both be serviced once a year to ensure your HVAC equipment is operating safely and efficiently.

Benefits of Annual HVAC Maintenance

Getting yearly tune-ups on both your heating and cooling system is the most important thing you can do to ensure your equipment runs as efficiently as possible. This is among the many benefits of getting annual service done on your HVAC system. Take a look.

  • Improved system efficiency, which can lower your annual heating and cooling expenses by 10% or more.
  • A longer life span for your furnace, boiler, central air system, heat pump or water heater.
  • Better for the planet: equipment that runs at top efficiency will emit fewer emissions.
  • A tune-up allows our expert technicians to spot minor issues before they become big problems (worn parts, a burner that needs adjustment, etc.) Problems tend to pop up during the worst times—such as when your furnace conks out during single-digit temperatures or when your air conditioning system shuts down in the middle of a heat wave.
  • Staying in compliance with your warranty: manufacturers generally require you to get regular HVAC service. If you skip a tune-up and your equipment breaks down, you could end up paying the total cost of repair.

Service Plans: Added Protection

We also recommend enrolling in a service plan. You can choose everything from a heating oil service plan, propane/natural gas service plan, a heat pump plan or a central air conditioning plan.
