When do I Schedule Seasonal Maintenance?
HVAC dealers can get very busy when summer temperatures spike and cold, bone-chilling weather takes hold.  It is a good idea to plan seasonal maintenance prior to these peak service call times. Many Experts offer preseason specials on inspection packages during their typical slow times of the year, usually in the spring and the fall depending on the climate.

What Does HVAC Seasonal Maintenance Include?
There is no industry standard for what is included in an HVAC preseason “tune-up,” so specific work may vary greatly from contractor to contractor. Preseason specials may not include all of the suggested maintenance recommend by your system’s manufacturer(s). As a result, it’s important to understand what maintenance your system will be receiving, and the total cost for the job.

Depending on the agreement, your HVAC technician may perform a complete system check that includes inspection and necessary cleaning of , parts and components. Be sure you understand what you are getting in your season maintenance package!
