Q. How often should I service my HVAC system?

You should have a professional service your HVAC system twice a year. Once in the spring for your AC and then in the fall for your heater in order to make sure your system is running safely and reliably.

The most common warranty is a 10-year parts warranty and 2-year labor warranty. However we offer a 10 year labor warranty and lifetime replacement in most of our systems. If you have further questions please call and talk to one of our experienced technicians at (972) 955-9640.

In order to figure out when you will need a new heater or air conditioner, it is typically when the systems cost more to repair than the old system is worth. When the system has become unreliable and unsafe and/or if it runs off old refrigerant that is no longer used.

You should check your air filter about once a month as recommended by professionals. Unless you have a 4-inch filter then its twice a year.
