Tasks That Should Be Included with Your Home HVAC Tune-Up

You count on your HVAC system for home comfort throughout the year. The last thing you want is for the AC to shut down on a scorching summer day or the heater to malfunction on a cold winter night. The ideal approach to keep your heating and cooling system from breaking is to arrange for a yearly HVAC inspection with A-Plus 

Why Does My HVAC System Require Tune-Ups? 

Your HVAC system sits behind ceilings and floors, so it’s simple to forget about it. However, a mistreated system is likely to work less efficiently, stop working more frequently, and meet the end of its working life more quickly. 

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

In the process, you can likely: 

• Reduce your heating and cooling bills 
• Experience fewer expensive repairs 
• Add years to your system’s life 

Not to mention, it’s required by manufacturers to keep your warranty in good standing. As a result of these perks, the price of maintaining your HVAC system is an investment that pays for itself. 

It’s advised to arrange maintenance once a year for each HVAC system. This means requesting an appointment for your AC every spring and having your furnace inspected and cleaned every fall. With this timing, you prep the correct system to perform at its strongest in the upcoming cooling or heating season.
