When Should I Schedule My HVAC Maintenance?

The best time to schedule your system maintenance call is BEFORE something fails.

Your air conditioner is too important to neglect, service yourself or wait until something breaks. Call the experts at West Mechanical to come to your Bellingham home at least once a year to do a routine HVAC maintenance visit.

If you don’t remember the last time you had a service call, you probably need one. Write it in your calendar, and get in the habit of calling once a year. Most people make the call entering either the heating or cooling seasons. This is when you depend on your HVAC system the most. If you procrastinate, a major repair or complete replacement will be considerably more expensive than the preventative maintenance visit. Systems tend to break down when they are used, and needed the most. Don’t get caught in the middle of winter with no heat or middle of summer with no AC. That can be uncomfortable, and dangerous.

Proper maintenance will significantly prolong the life of your system. There are some things that you can do yourself: Checking and changing the air filter is a good start, you can also make sure your vents are clear of obstructions and cleaned of dirt and debris.

One of our West Mechanical professionals will be able to detail your HVAC system and make sure that it’s in top shape going into spring.

Dirt and dust, over time, will clog and inhibit your systems functionality. A West Mechanical expert has the skills and tools necessary to make sure your system is in tip top shape heading in to a heating or cooling season. An HVAC system, like any complex machinery, requires regular professional tune ups to keep operating at an optimal level. A typical maintenance call once a year can give you the peace of mind you deserve.
