It's best to schedule professional inspections before the heating season begins, ideally in late summer or early fall, to ensure optimal performance and efficiency.
Regular filter changes improve air quality, enhance system efficiency, and reduce the risk of breakdowns. Filters should be checked monthly and replaced every three months.
Unusual noises, inconsistent temperatures, and increased energy bills may indicate underlying heating system problems. Professional inspections can help diagnose and resolve these issues.
