HVAC System Repair and Maintenance

HVAC technician inspecting and documenting maintenance tasks, emphasizing the importance of regular HVAC inspections for home heating systems.

Your heating system needs to be working well before the winter season to keep your home warm and cozy. The issue that many homeowners have is not knowing exactly how frequently to get their HVAC inspected and maintained.


Are you struggling with the same dilemma? Don't worry, we're here to help!

How Frequently Should Your Heating Unit Be Reviewed?

  • Twice a Year?
  • Yearly?
  • Every 2-5 Years?
  • Repairs?

How often your heating unit should be reviewed depends on a few aspects, if you use your heater religiously in the wintertime, or have a specific furnace design, an exam is necessary every 6 months. Think of this process as a preventative task that will keep your HVAC working longer.


For most homeowners, we usually recommend yearly heater assessments in the early fall or late springtime. Yearly home heating device assessments guarantee that your heater continues to be in great condition every year and that you discover any potential damages early on.

Climate and the Importance of the Home Heating device

How frequently your heater needs to be inspected also depends on the climate in your area and how often you use your heating system.


Extremely Cold Winters: Assess Every 6-12 Months

In regions where it snows heavily every year and storms are the norm, heating units are used for longer periods of time. You need to assess your HVAC twice a year to keep it in good condition.


Moderate Winters: Inspect Annually

If you see frost every winter season, your HVAC unit is necessary for keeping the household warm when it's cold outside. For furnaces, gas heaters, and boilers,  you need an annual evaluation with any necessary maintenance. Some small malfunctions like a clogged duct or loosened up seal can be harmful to your home and your specialist will discover these when checking your system.

A yearly assessment guarantees your heating system is safe and working efficiently.

Short Winter Season: Examine Every 2-5 Years

Households in warm and tropical areas that have a short winter don't use their heating system often. If your home is in a warm area, you probably use your HVAC for cooling throughout the year but rarely need to keep your interior warm. In these climates, examine your heating system every 2 to 5 years. To be on the safe side, try to have an upkeep session yearly. This also guarantees that no issues are ignored for longer than a year.

    Been using them for years after the owner Kevin showed up so fast when our furnace went out one year. Been a fan since! Now, Danny is so great to work with, also. So friendly, knowledgable, fast. You guys are the best!

    Danny came out on a Saturday to diagnosis and fix my mom’s hvac unit.   He was able to quickly determine what the problem was and had all the parts to complete the repair right then.  His communication was clear and did a really good job helping us understand what caused the issue.  I would definitely recommend him and will be calling his company with any needs in the future. Thanks again!

    Fantastic customer service! I had a furnace issue, called late morning and they fit me in for diagnostic right away. Technician was extremely knowledgable, walked me thru everything he found - unfortunately needed a new furnace (was 24 years old anyways), got it scheduled and installed within 24 hours as everything was in the warehouse (probably got lucky on what we needed). Overall excellent customer service, from scheduling to diagnostic, to installation. Highly recommend.

    WOW! So impressed with so many aspects of this company. We had an animal die under the house in and could smell it coming out of the vents. When I called around, pest control was weeks out and Best Owner Direct was able to come the next day. Our technician, Danny was absolutely INCREDIBLE! Very professional, kind and made sure we had the problem taken care of the same day so we could breathe again! I look forward to continuing to work with them in the future for our HVAC needs.

    Daniel was excellent, attentive to detail and committed to completing all tasks other installers overlooked. He worked tirelessly into the evening making sure everything was working properly with a water heather install, and he had a great attitude all along.

    Excellent customer service, great communications answering all of our questions, left the site clean, and very respectful of our space within the house. Arranged to have someone come from the office later in the week to explain how the thermostat works.
