“Do I really need HVAC maintenance every year?” We hear this question all the time. The answer depends on your system, your usage, and your home. Here’s a breakdown of what most Virginia homeowners should expect.
Annual Tune-Ups Are a Must
For most homes, once a year is the bare minimum. A spring AC check and a fall furnace tune-up give you peace of mind before the seasons change.
Twice a Year for Heavy Use
If your system runs almost nonstop (big family, large home, or extreme summer/winter use), plan for two visits a year.
Filters Need Attention Every 1–3 Months
Even with yearly service, your filters need regular replacement to keep airflow strong and energy costs low.
Special Cases
- New systems: still need annual service to keep your warranty valid.
- Older systems: may need closer monitoring.
- Allergy sufferers: benefit from more frequent filter changes and air quality checks.
