  • Keep outdoor units clear of debris and vegetation
  • Schedule professional maintenance twice yearly
  • Monitor unusual sounds or odors from your system

Energy Efficiency Benefits

Regular maintenance not only extends system life but also reduces energy consumption. A well-maintained HVAC system can save homeowners up to 15% on energy costs while ensuring consistent comfort throughout the year.

When to Schedule Service

For optimal performance:

  • Spring maintenance for cooling system preparation
  • Fall tune-ups for heating system readiness
  • Immediate service when performance issues arise
