Regular HVAC maintenance is the single most important thing you can do to protect your heating and cooling investment. Annual tune-ups by a qualified technician keep your equipment running efficiently, prevent unexpected breakdowns, extend equipment life, and maintain manufacturer warranty coverage.

Changing your air filter regularly is the most important maintenance task homeowners can perform themselves. A dirty filter restricts airflow, reduces efficiency, causes equipment to overheat, and degrades indoor air quality.
| Filter Type | MERV Rating | Change Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Fiberglass (1-inch) | MERV 1-4 | Every 30 days |
| Pleated (1-inch) | MERV 8-11 | Every 60-90 days |
| High-efficiency pleated | MERV 12-13 | Every 90 days |
| Media filter (4-5 inch) | MERV 10-12 | Every 6-12 months |
| HEPA filter | MERV 17-20 | Every 12 months |
Note: Homes with pets, allergy sufferers, or high dust levels should change filters more frequently. Check your filter monthly and replace when visibly dirty.
