Maintenance
In order to extend the life of your Heating, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration equipment, regular maintenance is absolutely necessary.
Lower Utility Bills
An HVAC unit that is running efficiently means less money spent on electricity, heating and cooling costs. HVAC maintenance is also important to prevent the need for major repairs or entire replacements.
Healthy Air
A properly maintained HVAC unit will not only keep a home warm or cool, but it will prevent problems with air quality. An unmaintained HVAC unit is a breeding ground for dirt, mold and bacteria, all of which can cause or worsen respiratory problems.
Life of the System
With proper HVAC maintenance, a unit can last well over 20 years. Considering the amount of money a person spends to install an HVAC unit, it makes sense they would want to keep that unit running well for as long as possible.
A well-maintained HVAC unit will run more efficiently. Research shows that dirty or unmaintained units need to work 20 percent harder to produce the same amount of cooling or heating. Less energy will be expended when it is running, which means less stress on the components of the machine.

Why is regular HVAC maintenance so important for homeowners?
Regular HVAC maintenance keeps your heating and cooling systems operating efficiently, safely, and reliably year-round. Routine inspections help identify minor issues before they become costly repairs, improve energy efficiency, and support healthier indoor air quality. Well-maintained HVAC systems can use up to 20% less energy and last significantly longer—often 20 years or more. Our Peace-Of-Mind Program makes annual maintenance one of the smartest investments homeowners can make.
How often should my heating and air conditioning systems be serviced?
Most HVAC manufacturers and industry professionals recommend annual maintenance, with seasonal servicing for optimal performance. This typically includes a summer cooling service for air conditioners and a winter heating service for furnaces or heat systems. Seasonal maintenance ensures your equipment is prepared for Canada’s temperature extremes while maintaining efficiency, comfort, and system reliability throughout the year.
Does HVAC maintenance really help lower energy bills and improve air quality?
Yes—proper HVAC maintenance directly impacts both energy costs and indoor air quality. Clean, well-tuned systems don’t have to work as hard to heat or cool your home, which reduces electricity and fuel usage. Maintenance also helps prevent the buildup of dust, mold, and bacteria inside your system, supporting cleaner air and reducing the risk of respiratory irritation for your family.
