HVAC Tune-ups a Must for Hardin County

This family room was affected by a blocked orifice tube in a propane fire place.

How often should you tune up your HVAC system?

You should schedule HVAC tune-ups one to two times per year depending on the age of your system. If your system is five years old or older, schedule two tune-ups per year. If you have a newer system, an annual tune-up should be sufficient.

Why regular HVAC maintenance is important?

You depend on your HVAC system to keep you comfortable year-round. Regular maintenance helps your system produce and distribute the warm or cool air more evenly and steadily. It also reduces the odds that you'll come home from work one winter's day to find frigid air blasting through your vents.

Affects of an un-serviced HVAC system.

If orifice tubes are clogged or blocked it could produce an oil discharge into your home. This discharge is like smoke produced by an oil fire. It could be so faint that you won’t notice it until you start to see the outlines of wood framing. If you find yourself in this situation using correct cleaning methods is extremely important and if done improperly could make cleaning much more difficult.
