Many homeowners overlook the importance of maintaining their heating and cooling systems due to their complexity. It is important to remember that HVAC systems can last a lot longer if they are maintained regularly. An HVAC system will last between 15 and 20 years. However, your HVAC system will only last as long if it is maintained professionally at least once per year or whenever necessary.

These are some ways to keep your HVAC system in good working order.

Heating And Cooling Maintenance Tips

Regularly change the filters

This is a simple task that you can do yourself. It’s easy to replace the air filter in an HVAC system.

Caulk any drafts
