Signs Your HVAC Unit Needs Maintenance

Air conditioner maintenance being performed

Keeping your HVAC system in proper working order means adhering to a routine maintenance schedule. When your system goes too long without a tune-up, it won’t be shy about letting you know it needs professional service. But what exactly are the signs to look for, and what do these symptoms mean for your system?

The HVAC experts at Parker’s Heating & Cooling explain what signs to watch for that indicate it’s time to book an annual maintenance visit for your heating or air conditioning system so you never miss another service appointment again.

Common Signs You Need HVAC Maintenance

Heating and air conditioning equipment should be serviced at least once annually to ensure it remains in the best working condition. When your HVAC system goes too long without professional service, it can show signs of poor maintenance. Common signs of needed HVAC maintenance include:

  • Rising Energy Bills: One of the areas that maintenance helps with the most is optimizing your system for energy efficiency. If you notice your energy bills skyrocketing, it could be a sign that your HVAC system isn’t operating as efficiently as it should.
  • Poor Airflow:  During an HVAC tune-up, your technician will change and replace air filters and clean out your air ducts to promote proper airflow. If you’re dealing with poor airflow, your unit could be clogged and need professional maintenance.
  • Loud Noises: Banging, clanging, grinding, and other noises coming from your HVAC system could be a sign of loose components or mechanical malfunction. A routine maintenance visit helps address these minor issues, stopping your system’s noisiness.
  • Frequent Repairs: Scheduling regular maintenance for your heating and air conditioning equipment helps improve its overall reliability and performance. If you find yourself requesting frequent repairs, it could mean that your system has not been properly maintained.
  • Tune-Up Frequency: An HVAC tune-up should be scheduled at least once annually. Ideally, you schedule twice, once in the spring for AC systems and once in the autumn for furnaces. If it’s been longer than one year since your last maintenance visit, it’s time to schedule a tune-up.

I was impressed with the conversation and quality I experienced when working with Parker's. Josh took the time to listen to our needs and provide multiple solutions. The workers were communicative and did a great job. We can already tell the difference in quality in our new heating and cooling system.

-Theresa A.

The friendliest and most professional installers I could have asked for.

-Retha W.

Great company to service your HVAC unit. We have been using Parkers since 2003 and will not use another company to service our unit. Thank you Parkers for being the best in the business!

-Selene B.

Parker's had a technician to our house quickly and Jim was able to have our heat up and running in no time. Will definitely call them for any future heating and cooling needs.

-Rachel G.

One of the owners of the company took the time to work with us to ensure that we had the product that worked best for us. Working with this company reminds us of the customer service that was provided before companies started to outsource portions of their operations. Great praise to Parkers for everything that they do...
