Maintenance Tips

• Replace or clean air filter every 1–3 months to maintain strong airflow, efficiency, and indoor air quality.
• Keep outdoor condenser unit clear 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 to ensure balanced airflow and comfort.
• Check condensate drain line periodically to prevent clogs, leaks, and water damage.
• Verify thermostat operation and settings to ensure accurate temperature control and energy savings.
• Monitor for unusual noises, odors, or performance changes and address issues early.
• Have a licensed technician inspect burners, heat exchanger, venting, and safety controls annually.
• Ensure refrigerant charge and electrical components are checked for optimal cooling performance.
• Maintain proper home insulation and seal air leaks to reduce system workload and improve efficiency.
