Total Heating and Air Conditioning System Maintenance: How Often Should it be Done?

Jessica Primeau • September 9, 2022

As a St. Louis homeowner, you know that your total heating and air conditioning system is one of the most important components of your home. Not only does it keep you comfortable throughout the year, but it also helps to protect your home from the extreme temperature changes that can occur in our region. That’s why it’s so important to make sure that your system is properly maintained. But how often does it need to be done?

Factors to Keep in Mind

AAA installed furnaceThe answer to that question depends on a number of factors, including the type of system you have, the age of your system, and how often it’s used. For example, if you have a newer, high-efficiency system, you may only need to have it serviced once a year. However, if you have an older system or one that’s used more frequently, you may need to have it serviced more often.

Another factor to consider is the type of maintenance that’s being performed. Some types of maintenance, such as changing the air filter, can be done more frequently than others. Other types of maintenance, such as cleaning the coils, may need to be done less frequently.

In general, we recommend that homeowners have their total heating and air conditioning systems serviced at least once a year per unit. This will help ensure that your system is running efficiently and effectively all year long. If you have any questions about how often your system should be serviced or what type of maintenance it needs, our team at AAA Heating & Cooling would be happy to help.
