Steps That Should Be Included with Your Home HVAC Checkup

You count on your HVAC system for home comfort in every season. The last thing you want is for the air conditioning to shut down on a hot summer day or the furnace to stop working on a bitter winter night. The best way to keep your heating and cooling system from breaking is to schedule an annual HVAC maintenance call with Stevenson Service Experts 

Why Does My HVAC System Have to Have Checkups? 

Your HVAC system hides behind ceilings and floors, so it’s not hard to forget about it. However, a mistreated system is likely to perform less efficiently, break down more often, and come to the end of its life cycle prematurely. 

The point of an HVAC tune-up is to keep your furnace working well throughout the year. 

In the process, you might possibly: 

  • Decrease your utility costs 
  • Have a smaller number of costly repairs 
  • Add years to your system’s life

Not to mention, it’s required by manufacturers to keep your warranty valid. Thanks to these benefits, the price of maintaining your HVAC system is an investment that pays for itself. 

It’s best to plan for maintenance yearly for each HVAC system. This means setting an appointment for your air conditioning every spring and having your furnace inspected and cleaned every fall. With this timing, you ready the correct system to run at its peak in the approaching cooling or heating season.
