Maintenance

How Often Should You Service Your HVAC System?

Service a cooling only system once a year in spring. Service a furnace and air conditioner pair twice, once in spring for cooling and once in fall for heating. Service a heat pump twice a year, because it runs in both seasons and has a defrost cycle that needs verification.

Intervals by system type

Central air conditioner: once yearly, spring
Gas furnace: once yearly, fall, including combustion safety checks
Heat pump: twice yearly, spring and fall
Mini split systems: yearly, with more frequent indoor unit filter cleaning
Commercial rooftop units: twice yearly to quarterly depending on run time and occupancy

What you should do between visits

Change one inch filters every one to three months
Keep two feet of clearance around the outdoor unit
Rinse grass clippings off the outdoor coil with a garden hose, not a pressure washer
Pour a cup of water into the drain pan occasionally to confirm it drains
Note anything that changes: new noises, longer run times, or rooms falling behind

Frequently asked questions

Is skipping a year a big deal?

One skipped year rarely causes a failure by itself, but it removes the chance to catch a drifting capacitor, a clogging drain, or a slow refrigerant leak while they are still inexpensive to address.
