An HVAC system typically lasts between 15 and 20 years. However, this can vary based on several factors including the quality of maintenance, frequency of use, and the system's overall quality. Implementing a regular maintenance schedule can significantly enhance the system's longevity and operational efficiency.

We advise scheduling HVAC system maintenance twice annually. It's best to have your air conditioning checked in spring and your heating system inspected in fall. This routine upkeep helps maintain optimal performance, prevents unexpected breakdowns, and can extend your system's operational life.

Consistent HVAC maintenance offers numerous advantages. It enhances system efficiency, which can lead to reduced energy costs. Regular check-ups allow for early detection of potential issues, preventing minor problems from escalating into major, costly repairs. Moreover, well-maintained systems tend to have longer lifespans. Lastly, routine maintenance contributes to improved indoor air quality by ensuring filters and components remain clean, creating a healthier environment in your home or business.

While both heat pumps and furnaces provide heating, they operate on different principles. Furnaces generate heat by combusting fuel (such as gas or oil) or using electricity to warm air, which is then circulated throughout your space. In contrast, heat pumps don't produce heat but rather transfer existing heat from the outdoor air into your home, even in colder temperatures.
