Tasks That Should Be Covered with Your Home HVAC Maintenance

You count on your HVAC system for home comfort in every season. The last thing you want is for the air conditioning to break down on a scorching summer day or the furnace to stop working on a bitter winter night. The smartest approach to keep your heating and cooling system from failing is to schedule a yearly HVAC maintenance call with McKinley Heating Service Experts 

Why Does My HVAC System Have to Have Maintenance? 

Your HVAC system sits behind ceilings and floors, so it’s easy to forget about it. However, a mistreated system is likely to work less efficiently, break down more regularly, and come to the end of its life span sooner. 

The purpose of an HVAC tune-up is to keep your furnace running properly all year. 

In the process, you may likely: 

  • Reduce your heating and cooling expenses 
  • Experience a smaller number of costly repairs 
  • Add years to your system’s life

Aside from that, it’s required by manufacturers to keep your warranty active. As a result of these benefits, the fee of tuning up your HVAC system is an investment that pays for itself. 

It’s recommended to plan for maintenance annually for each HVAC system. This means requesting an appointment for your air conditioner every spring and having your furnace inspected and cleaned every fall. With this timing, you prep the proper system to perform at its best in the approaching cooling or heating season.
