Regular maintenance is key to keeping your system running efficiently. We recommend professional tune-ups at least twice a year—once in the spring for your cooling system and once in the fall for your heating system. This helps prevent breakdowns, extends the lifespan of your equipment, and can lower your energy bills.

Common indicators include unusual noises like banging or rattling, weak airflow, inconsistent temperatures across rooms, higher-than-normal utility bills, or strange odors coming from vents. If your system is over 10-15 years old and frequently breaking down, it might be time for a professional inspection to avoid costly emergencies.

Start with simple steps like changing air filters every 1-3 months, sealing duct leaks, and using a programmable thermostat. Upgrading to energy-efficient models, such as those with high SEER ratings for AC units, can also make a big difference. Our team can assess your setup and recommend tailored solutions to reduce energy consumption and save money.

If repairs are frequent and costly—especially if they exceed 50% of the cost of a new unit—or if your system is approaching 15-20 years old, replacement is often the better option. Newer systems are more efficient, reliable, and compliant with modern energy standards. We offer free consultations to help evaluate whether repair or replacement makes sense for your situation.
