Schedule HVAC maintenance twice a year — once in the spring for your cooling system and once in the fall for your furnace. Heat pumps and ductless mini-splits should also be serviced twice yearly because they run in both heating and cooling modes year-round. Between visits, change air filters every 1–3 months.
Recommended HVAC schedule
- Spring — Full AC or heat pump cooling tune-up
- Fall — Full furnace or heat pump heating tune-up
- Monthly — Visual check and filter replacement if needed
- Quarterly — Rinse outdoor condenser, clear debris
Twice-yearly service catches almost every common failure before it strands you without heat or cooling. The Mainstream Maintenance Plan bundles both visits at a discounted rate, or book individually via AC maintenance and furnace maintenance.
