You wouldn’t drive your car without changing the oil. The same logic holds true for your ac system. Regular HVAC preventative maintenance is the best way to ensure trouble-free operation and peak performance all year long. Pre-summer maintenance is also important in Florida.
​
It can help to avoid a system failure in peak summer months when you need it most, and it can also keep your energy bill from getting out of control too.

HVAC Preventative Maintenance Tips
​

​
Below you’ll find HVAC preventative maintenance tips to keep your home in constant comfort.
  • For a system that heats and cools: perform maintenance in the spring and fall
  • For cooling system maintenance only: perform maintenance at least once a year, before the cooling season
