Your HVAC system relies on the optimal performance of all its components to keep your home warm and comfortable day in and day out. This is why when one part malfunctions, your first thought might be to have the entire system replaced. The good news is that some HVAC issues can be fixed with repairs. In any case, you need the help of a professional to diagnose the problem properly.

Before you ask, “How much does refrigerated air cost?” or look into purchasing a new HVAC system, you might want to consider scheduling an HVAC maintenance service first. In this article, you’ll find tips on when to schedule an HVAC service appointment and how to prepare for it.

Optimal Schedule

While there’s no right or wrong time to have your HVAC unit checked, you’ll get more out of your HVAC service if you have it checked at certain times of the year. For instance, scheduling a maintenance service for your heating and cooling units in the spring and fall ensures that you’ll be able to stay comfortable during both seasons. Since you’ll be using your furnace more during the colder months, it’s best to have it inspected in late summer or early fall, just before the temperatures start to drop.

As for your air conditioner, you can schedule a home AC repair at the tail-end of winter or when the first signs of spring appear.

Pre-HVAC Service Preparations

If you scheduled an inspection or maintenance appointment for your outdoor HVAC system, make sure that the unit is visible and can be easily accessed. This entails sweeping leaves and other organic debris off the outdoor unit, cleaning off the dirt and making sure the area is free of any obstructions. The same preparation measures apply to indoor units. Don’t forget to move furniture away from the work area and unplug what needs to be unplugged.
