Why Maintenance Matters
The vast majority of emergency HVAC breakdowns are preventable. Regular tune-ups catch small problems — a weak capacitor, a dirty coil, low refrigerant — while they're cheap to fix, not after they've stranded you on the hottest day of the year.

How Often Should You Service Your System?
At least twice a year: once in spring before cooling season and once in fall before you need heat. Regular maintenance is also required to keep most manufacturer warranties valid.
