Your HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) system is the single largest energy user in your home. It needs to be in peak condition in order to keep your family comfortable, no matter the season, and an HVAC efficiency tune-up can help. Being able to depend on your heating and air conditioning system is especially important in Maryland, where temperatures can drop into the single digits on winter nights and hit highs of 100 in the summer.

When to Get a Heating and AC Tune-Up
On average, HVAC systems last one or two decades and just like a car, your heating and air conditioning system needs regular maintenance. Dust and debris can build up inside your unit over time, and coils, drains and filters get clogged. The buildup and clogged parts will reduce air flow, increase your energy costs and make it harder to achieve your desired temperature inside your home.
Ideally, you want to inspect your system during a time of year when you aren’t depending on it to keep you comfortable. Spring and fall seasons are both great times of the year to inspect and tune-up your cooling and heating systems. This way, potential problems can be identified and fixed before your system is asked to work overtime during the harshest times of the year. It may also be time to schedule a tune-up if your HVAC system doesn’t turn on, runs loudly, doesn’t blow cold air during the summer, or doesn’t blow warm air during the winter.
Regular maintenance will keep your system running and increase the lifespan of your unit. Save energy and money by ensuring your unit is performing at peak efficiency, and help avoid unexpected repair costs with a 21-point HVAC tune-up from Constellation Home.

We’ll Help You Understand How Much Life Your HVAC System Has Left
During your annual 21-point HVAC tune-up our technicians will make sure to bring any issues that are found to your attention. Our certified experts will also go over what these problems mean in terms of your heating and air conditioning systems overall health. For example, if a technician finds that your system is using R22 refrigerant (a type of refrigerant that is no longer manufactured) they may recommend replacing your unit. On the other hand, your technician will also let you know if they find an issue that can be fixed quickly to maximize your systems efficiency.
