An HVAC system should be professionally inspected at least twice a year, typically in the spring and fall. This timing ensures the system is in peak condition before the demanding summer cooling and winter heating seasons. For newer systems, bi-annual checkups are generally sufficient, while older systems may benefit from more frequent inspections, such as every three to four months.

In addition to these professional inspections, homeowners should perform monthly maintenance tasks like checking and replacing air filters, cleaning vents, and monitoring for unusual noises or performance issues.

Routine checkups not only enhance system efficiency and longevity but also improve indoor air quality and ensure reliable performance during extreme weather conditions. Unity Property & Pest offers professional HVAC inspection services in Ohio, providing comprehensive evaluations to keep your system running smoothly year-round.
