If you live in the Orlando, Florida area, you know how important it is to have a reliable HVAC system. The hot and humid climate requires efficient air conditioning during the months of May through October — sometimes even longer!

To ensure your system is running as efficiently as possible, you should schedule regular maintenance tune-ups. But how often should you do this?

Let’s take a look at why tune-ups are important, and the recommended frequency for scheduling them.

Why you should schedule regular AC tune-ups

Your HVAC system is made up of several components that work together to keep your home comfortable year-round. Over time, these parts can become worn down due to continuous use and exposure to outside elements like dust and dirt.

Scheduling regular tune-ups will help keep your system in top condition (and save you money over time) by:

• Detecting minor issues before they become major problems

• Cleaning out dirt and debris from components

• Replacing any worn-down parts with new ones

• Ensuring all safety features are working correctly

• Making sure your unit runs as efficiently as possible

How often should you schedule an AC tune-up in Orlando, FL?

It is recommended that Orlando homeowners get their HVAC systems serviced twice a year: once before the summer season when air conditioning usage increases and again as the cool season arrives to address any issues that may have occurred while the system was on overdrive during the hot summer months.

During this appointment, the technician will inspect all components of your unit to make sure they are functioning properly and make any necessary repairs or adjustments. Additionally, they will clean out any blockages or buildups in order to reduce energy usage and extend the life of your system.

It is also important to schedule emergency service if you notice any issues between regular tune-ups such as strange noises or smells coming from your unit or decreased airflow from vents.
