Spring in British Columbia is the perfect time to tune up your Heating & Cooling system before summer heat sets in. After working hard all winter, your heat pump, furnace, or air conditioner needs a seasonal check-up to ensure efficiency, reliability, and longevity. Let’s go over essential maintenance tips to maximize performance, prevent breakdowns, and save money on energy bills.
Common Homeowner Questions About Spring furnace and air conditioner system Maintenance
1. Why is spring the best time for Heating and Cooling maintenance?
✅ Avoid emergency breakdowns – Catch small issues before they become expensive repairs.
✅ Boost efficiency – A clean, well-maintained system runs better and uses less energy.
