It’s important to maintain your equipment to prevent problems and their attendant high repair costs. Keep your climate control system at top performance by having a contractor perform yearly check-ups. It’s best to check your HVAC system in the spring and in the fall. To help you remember, you could plan the check-ups around the time changes in the spring and fall.
