It's recommended to have your HVAC system serviced at least twice a year—once before the cooling season (spring) and once before the heating season (fall). Regular maintenance helps improve efficiency, extend the system's lifespan, and prevent unexpected breakdowns.
Most AC repairs are completed in 1 to 3 hours. However, more complex issues or those requiring special parts might take longer, especially if a second visit is needed for installation.
Here’s a quick guide to help decide: Repair if your AC is under 10 years old and the repair is minor. Replace if it's over 12–15 years old, uses outdated refrigerant (like R-22), or needs frequent and costly repairs. If the cost of repair is more than 50% of the cost of a new unit, replacement is often the smarter investment.
Routine maintenance keeps your AC running efficiently and helps avoid major issues. Key tasks include: Changing the air filter every 1–3 months, Cleaning the condenser coils annually, Checking refrigerant levels, Clearing debris from around the outdoor unit, Scheduling a professional tune-up at least once a year.
It’s best to turn it off and have it inspected. Strange noises—like banging, grinding, or screeching—can signal issues with the fan motor, compressor, or other internal parts. Running it could cause more damage and lead to costlier repairs.
