At Fire & Ice Heating & Air LLC, we understand the crucial role that a well-maintained HVAC system plays in keeping your home comfortable year-round. But how do you know when it’s time for a system tune-up? Let’s explore the signs and benefits of regular maintenance.
Signs Your HVAC System Needs Attention

A thorough tune-up involves more than just a quick once-over. Our trained technicians will inspect, clean, and adjust various components of your HVAC system to ensure optimal performance.
What to Expect During a Tune-Up
During a comprehensive tune-up, our experts will:
1. Check and clean filters
2. Inspect and tighten electrical connections
3. Lubricate moving parts
4. Clean condenser and evaporator coils
5. Check refrigerant levels
6. Calibrate thermostat settings
7. Inspect ductwork for leaks or damage
By addressing these key areas, we can help your system run more efficiently and reliably, saving you money and hassle in the long run.
When to Schedule Your Tune-Up
Ideally, you should have your HVAC system serviced twice a year – once before the heating season and once before the cooling season. This ensures that your system is ready to handle the demands of extreme temperatures.
At Fire & Ice Heating & Air LLC, we recommend scheduling your tune-ups in early spring and fall. This proactive approach allows us to address any issues before they become problematic during peak usage periods.
