How often should I service my HVAC?

Have your HVAC system professionally serviced twice a year: once in spring for the air conditioner and once in fall for the heating system. Change your air filter every 30 to 90 days depending on the filter type and whether you have pets or allergies.

Why It Matters

Regular HVAC maintenance extends the life of your system by years, improves efficiency, and prevents breakdowns during extreme weather.
