Schedule annual maintenance: Regular tune-ups, typically once in spring for AC and once in fall for heating, can prevent breakdowns, improve efficiency, and extend the lifespan of your system.
Understand your warranty: Know what parts and labor are covered by your HVAC system's warranty. Keep proof of purchase and service records handy, as some warranties require professional maintenance.
Get multiple quotes for major repairs or replacements: For significant work, obtain at least three written estimates from different licensed and insured HVAC companies to compare pricing, scope of work, and proposed solutions.
Don't ignore strange noises or smells: Unusual sounds (grinding, banging, squealing) or odors (burning, musty, gas-like) from your HVAC system are red flags. Contact a technician promptly to diagnose and fix the issue before it escalates.
Ask for a detailed explanation: When a technician recommends a repair or replacement, don't hesitate to ask for a clear explanation of the problem, the proposed solution, and why it's necessary. A good technician will be happy to educate you.
Verify credentials: Always ensure the HVAC technician is licensed, insured, and has good reviews. Ask for their license number and check it with your state's licensing board. This protects you from unqualified or uninsured workers.
Keep your outdoor unit clear: Regularly clear away leaves, grass clippings, and other debris from around your outdoor AC condenser unit. Ensure there's at least two feet of clearance on all sides for proper airflow, which helps your system run efficiently.
