HVAC technicians: common questions

How often should I service my HVAC system?

Once a year for each system — the AC in spring and the furnace in autumn. A tune-up catches small problems early and keeps the warranty valid on many units.

When should I replace instead of repair?

If the system is over 12–15 years old, uses R-22 refrigerant, or the repair is more than about a third of the cost of a new unit, replacement usually pays off in lower energy bills.
