When Should You Schedule an HVAC Inspection?
You should schedule an HVAC inspection regularly for a few main reasons:
- Seasonal prep: ENERGY STAR recommends scheduling your AC for a spring checkup and your furnace for a fall tuneup, before these systems face peak demand in busy winter and summer seasons.
- Home sales: A residential HVAC inspection gives both parties confidence before you close on a property. If you’re buying a home, a pre-purchase HVAC inspection helps you understand the system’s condition before you commit.
- Warranty requirements: HVAC manufacturer warranties may require proof of annual professional maintenance. Keeping up with annual professional maintenance could help protect your warranty coverage if you ever need to make a claim.
- Unusual performance: If your system has been making strange sounds or running inconsistently, it’s a good idea to have it checked. Our team handles both inspections and furnace repair to prevent a more costly breakdown.
