FAQs
Why is preventive maintenance for my HVAC system in Evensville so important?
Regular maintenance keeps your heating and cooling equipment running efficiently, reduces the chance of unexpected breakdowns, and can extend the life of your system by several years. In Evensville’s humid summers and chilly winters, neglected equipment has to work harder, driving up energy bills and increasing wear on critical components such as compressors, blower motors, and heat exchangers.
How often should I schedule preventive maintenance for my furnace and air conditioner?
Most manufacturers and industry groups recommend two tune-ups per year: one visit in the spring for your air conditioner and another in the fall for your furnace or heat pump. Biannual service aligns your HVAC system with seasonal demands and keeps manufacturer warranties valid, many of which require proof of routine maintenance.
What does a typical preventive maintenance visit include?
Our Evensville technicians perform a 20- to 30-point inspection that covers: checking refrigerant levels and pressures; cleaning condenser and evaporator coils; tightening electrical connections; lubricating moving parts; testing safety controls; inspecting heat exchangers for cracks; calibrating thermostats; replacing or cleaning air filters; and verifying overall system operation. You receive a written report of findings and any recommendations before we leave.
Will preventive maintenance actually save me money?
Yes. Well-maintained HVAC systems can operate up to 20% more efficiently, lowering monthly energy costs. Detecting small issues early—such as a failing capacitor or a low refrigerant charge—prevents expensive emergency repairs and helps you avoid the cost of premature system replacement. Many customers find that the annual savings outweigh the cost of the maintenance plan.
Are there maintenance tasks I can handle myself between professional visits?
Absolutely. Replace or clean your air filter every 30–90 days, keep supply and return vents clear of dust and furniture, trim plants at least 2 feet from the outdoor condenser, and hose off any visible dirt on the unit’s fins. Also check that the thermostat is set to Auto instead of On to avoid unnecessary fan operation. Leave technical work—like refrigerant handling, electrical testing, and combustion analysis—to certified technicians.
