Your heating and cooling system works almost all year long: the furnace through the winter, the central AC through the summer. Like any equipment, it needs regular attention.
Why twice a year
Many professionals recommend servicing your system twice a year:
- In spring, before the cooling season: the central AC, including the outdoor condenser and the indoor evaporator coil.
- In fall, before the heating season: the furnace or heat pump.
This way, a technician can check your equipment before it takes on its heaviest workload.
What regular maintenance can do
- Fewer surprises. Small issues can often be spotted before they turn into a breakdown on the coldest or hottest day.
- More consistent comfort. A well-tuned system holds temperature more evenly.
- Easier on your equipment. Clean, inspected equipment runs under less strain.
- Peace of mind. You know what condition your system is in.
What a technician typically checks
The exact list depends on your equipment and the technician’s judgment. It usually includes a general inspection, a check of how the system operates, the cleanliness of key components, the condensate drain, electrical connections and thermostat settings.
What you can do between visits
- Replace the air filter as recommended by the manufacturer
- Keep furniture away from supply and return vents
- Keep the area around the outdoor unit clear of leaves, grass and debris
