How Often to Get an HVAC Inspection

When Should You Have Inspections for HVAC?

If you’re having a single inspection a year, you should get it around the same time annually. Homeowners with two checks yearly should schedule them for the spring and fall. Inspections at these times will help ensure your system will run properly in the summer and winter when you need it the most.

Risks Of Not Having An HVAC Inspection

We’ll never try to sell you an unnecessary service, but neglecting HVAC system maintenance involves several risks:

• Higher Utility Costs: About half of the energy costs your home generates are from your heating and cooling systems. Without inspections, your HVAC system may run less efficiently, raising those bills by as much as 30%. Yikes!
• Decreased Comfort: Your home is where you should always be able to put your feet up and relax. It can be challenging to do this if your house is uncomfortably warm or cool. Scheduling an inspection in the spring and fall can help ensure your system works as it should when you need it the most.
• Possible System Failure: Every homeowner knows that major appliances are long-term investments. Neglecting to have your HVAC system serviced twice a year can lead to costly repairs, including replacing your entire system. Our service technicians can spot minor problems and address them before they become more significant.
• Health Concerns: When your HVAC filters clog because of extra debris, it can affect indoor air quality. Poor air quality can cause respiratory complications, including worsening of asthma and allergies.
• Voided Warranty: Many manufacturers issue a warranty on their products with the condition that you will service your system regularly. A reduced or voided warranty means any repairs will cost you more out of pocket. Regular maintenance will maintain your warranty and save you money.
• Early System Replacement: There’s always the possibility that your HVAC system will fail if you don’t schedule regular inspections. An HVAC system is a costly investment that most people plan for over time. You don’t want to have to come up with the money immediately if your system stops working right before winter sets in.
