Maintenance Tips

• Replace or clean air filter every 1–3 months to maintain airflow, efficiency, and indoor air quality.
• Keep outdoor condenser unit free of debris and ensure at least 2 feet of clearance for proper airflow.
• Schedule professional HVAC maintenance twice yearly—before cooling and heating seasons.
• Inspect and clean supply and return vents regularly for balanced airflow and comfort.
• Check condensate drain system periodically to prevent clogs, leaks, and water damage.
• Verify thermostat operation and settings for accurate temperature control and energy savings.
• Address unusual noises, odors, or performance changes early to avoid costly repairs.
• Have a licensed technician inspect burners, heat exchanger, venting, and safety controls annually.
• Ensure refrigerant charge and electrical components are checked for efficient system operation.
• Maintain proper insulation and seal air leaks to reduce system strain and improve efficiency.
