HVAC Service Appointments: When Should You Schedule Them?

All-year-round, you rely on your HVAC system to make your indoor space more comfortable. To ensure your HVAC system stays in tip-top shape no matter the season, you must schedule a service appointment with a professional HVAC company. During the service appointment, an HVAC technician will check your system for any signs of damage and perform repairs as needed.

But when should you schedule it? Stone Heating and Air, one of the top HVAC companies in the area, answers this question below.

Scheduling Your HVAC Service Appointment

For optimal efficiency and comfort, be sure to schedule a service appointment twice a year — once in the spring and again in the fall — to prepare for both the cooling and the heating seasons. Your air conditioner should be inspected by an HVAC pro in late winter or early spring before the cooling season begins. Your furnace should also be inspected in late summer or early fall before the heating season begins.

Preparing for Your Service Appointment

After scheduling a service appointment with a home heating company, homeowners must take the necessary steps to facilitate an easy and efficient inspection. This means preparing your heating or cooling equipment before the technician arrives at your home. Here’s what you need to do:

Outdoor Maintenance

  • Clean up any leaves, dirt or debris that are on or around the main cabinet.

  • Check the base pan for blocked drain openings.

  • Look for any signs of holes or leaks in the coil and cabinet.

  • Inspect the fan blades both while they’re in motion and while stationary to determine if there’s any wear or damage.

  • Clean the outside of the control box associated with the unit.

Indoor Maintenance

 

  • Clean or replace air filters.

  • Check for any signs of leaks in the ductwork.

  • Take note of any strange smells or unusual noises when your system starts.

  • Inspect the control box, connections and wiring.

We had our AC go out on one of the hottest days of the year. We called as soon as they opened and they came out so quickly and offered us some loaner units to keep our babies and animals cool in the meantime. Matt was so helpful and fixed the problem quickly. He went above and beyond to help us and we will be using Stone Heating and Air to replace our unit when it’s time. They’ll be our first call in the future!

Shortly after 1 called for an appointment, Dave and Gino did a thorough inspection of my system and explained all of the areas that needed repair or replacement. They gave me short and long-term options and the benefits of both. HVAC is not something I know a lot about so I had appreciated their patience. Overall, it was a great experience! 5 STARS!!
