How often should you schedule professional HVAC maintenance to keep your system efficient?
Hey everyone, quick question. I just moved into a house that’s about 10 years old, and the HVAC system looks like it hasn’t been serviced in a while. The previous owners said they “didn’t have any problems,” but that doesn’t sound like much of a plan. How often do you guys actually call in professionals for maintenance? I don’t want to overspend, but I also don’t want the thing to quit on me mid-summer.

That’s a really good question, and I’ve learned the hard way that waiting until something breaks down is not the best idea. I used to ignore my system until it started blowing warm air in July — the repair bill was no joke. Now I schedule professional maintenance twice a year: once in spring before the cooling season and once in fall before heating. It’s worth it because the tech checks refrigerant levels, cleans coils, inspects ducts, and tests efficiency.

They caught a clogged drain line last year before it caused water damage, so that alone paid for the visit.
