Your home’s climate control system works hard year round to heat and cool your house to a comfortable degree. In fact, over two thirds of Southern homeowners run their air conditioning units all year round—and with expectations of our HVAC systems like that, it comes as no surprise that a healthy climate control system is a frequently serviced climate control system. The thought of calling out an electrical contractor every time you suspect a hiccup in your system is probably unappealing but, fortunately, most of the regular maintenance required by an HVAC system can be done by the homeowner.

Most of the HVAC system maintenance needs to be done in the spring and summer seasons, especially if you live in a four season climate. If you neglect these regular HVAC service tips, you could actually be costing yourself more money, as most well maintained heating and cooling units are not energy efficient and cause your energy bill to skyrocket.
