HVAC maintenance is key to keeping your system running smoothly and avoiding breakdowns. Start by swapping out the air filters every couple of months, and make sure there’s nothing blocking the vents or the unit outside. You’d be surprised at how much dirt and dust can pile up! I had Astera Services come out for a routine check-up last year, and they really helped me keep everything in top shape. They offer excellent appliance and HVAC installing and repairing services, and they did a full inspection of my system, cleaned the coils, and made sure everything was functioning at its best. It’s been running so much more efficiently since then, and I’m not worried about it failing during the winter!
