Biannual, Preseason Unit Preparation
HVAC systems should be cleaned at least twice a year to get rid of dirt, dust, fungus, and other buildup. It’s also important to inspect your HVAC systems for any damage caused by disuse or temperature fluctuations. Biannual maintenance will keep your HVAC systems operating at peak efficiency, so you aren’t wasting any energy.
Annual HVAC Inspections and Tuneups
The more efficient your HVAC system is, the less energy it will need to operate. We will inspect your entire heating and cooling system for damage, rust, leaks, and dirty buildup, check the refrigerant pressure and the electrical connections. Clean conduits combined with tune-ups to seal and insulate your ductwork will guarantee that you aren’t wasting any energy.
