Maintenance Tips

Keep Your System Running Strong

A few minutes of simple upkeep can lower your energy bills, prevent breakdowns, and add years to your heating and cooling equipment.

  • Every 1–3 Months

    Change Your Air Filter

    A clogged filter restricts airflow, raises energy use, and strains your blower motor. Check it monthly and replace it when it looks gray.

  • Spring & Summer

    Clear the Outdoor Unit

    Keep at least 2 feet of space around your condenser. Remove leaves, grass clippings, and debris so it can release heat efficiently.

  • Year-Round

    Use a Smart Thermostat

    Program setbacks while you are away or asleep. Adjusting 7–10 degrees for 8 hours a day can cut heating and cooling costs noticeably.

  • Year-Round

    Keep Vents Open & Clear

    Closing vents or blocking them with furniture unbalances airflow and can damage your system. Keep supply and return vents unobstructed.

  • Summer

    Check the Condensate Drain

    Pour a cup of diluted vinegar into the AC drain line each season to prevent clogs, water leaks, and mold growth.

  • Fall & Winter

    Test Your CO Detectors

    Test carbon monoxide detectors monthly and replace batteries twice a year. Every home with a gas furnace needs working CO alarms.

Time to Call a Professional?

Some problems need a trained technician. Call us if you notice any of these warning signs.

Cooling Warning Signs

  • Warm air from the vents or uneven cooling
  • Ice on refrigerant lines or the indoor coil
  • Water pooling around the indoor unit
  • Short cycling or a sudden spike in your bill

Heating Warning Signs

  • Yellow or flickering burner flame
