HVAC Maintenance in Chicagoland

If you’re like many McHenry-area homeowners, you only give thought to your HVAC system when something goes wrong.

How Often Should I Have My Chicago HVAC System Serviced?

While the answer to this question partially depends on what type of HVAC equipment you have, most systems need to be professionally maintained at a yearly minimum. This means that you should schedule air conditioner maintenance in the springtime, and furnace maintenance should be scheduled in the fall to cover all of your bases. In the case of a heat pump system, which runs all year long, you would need maintenance twice — once in the spring and once in the fall to cover the same needs as a conjoined forced-air system.

Save Money by Investing in HVAC Maintenance

One of the major hassles of scheduling an annual HVAC service, besides remembering to do it in the first place, is having to shell out time and time again for one-at-a-time services. A single maintenance visit can cost hundreds of dollars at a time, depending on who you’re scheduling service with. It’s still worthwhile, to be sure, but there’s a better solution!

HVAC maintenance agreements roll your yearly AC maintenance and furnace maintenance needs into one easy monthly payment. Together with these savings, and the savings you stand to gain from avoiding costly repairs and reducing energy waste, our contractors can say with full confidence that setting up a recurring HVAC maintenance service contract is well worth your time.

And that’s not all you get out of a maintenance contract. Together with all of the bonuses that Black Diamond offers, your HVAC system will also benefit from:

More efficient operation – A properly maintained system will operate at its most efficient level, helping reduce your energy expenditures.
Longer life span – Get the most years out of your system by keeping it functional and well maintained.
Less cost for repair – Not only will the system have a lesser need for repairs, but with a maintenance check each year, you can also spot small problems before they develop into big ones.
More comfortable home – A maintained system will more evenly heat and cool your home, contributing to your family’s overall comfort.
Peace of mind – You can enter the heating and cooling season knowing that a trained professional had checked your system top to bottom!

Frequently Asked Questions About HVAC Maintenance

How often should I schedule HVAC maintenance?

You should schedule maintenance in the spring and once again in the fall. This ensures your heating and air conditioning systems are in good condition for the season ahead. Of course, you may want to increase this schedule based on the age and condition of your HVAC system.

How can I check if my HVAC system is still under warranty?

Most warranties are five years, and you can inspect the label on your HVAC system to determine the manufacture date. You can also contact the manufacturer and have the company run the serial number to determine if there is any existing warranty coverage on the unit.

Can I maximize the efficiency of my heating and cooling systems?

Absolutely. Regular cleaning, filter changes, and keeping up with maintenance and repairs will go a long way toward improving efficiency. Other steps you can take include sealing leaks around windows/doors, hanging window treatments, and, in summer, avoiding cooking, dishwashing, and clothes washing/drying in the middle of a hot day.

How often should I change the air filters?

Changing your filters every month will help improve indoor air quality. Always make sure you use a HEPA filter, and it’s a good idea to take other steps to help improve your air quality. Things such as not wearing shoes in the house, cleaning your ducts, regularly washing pets, and periodically opening windows/doors to let fresh air in will make a breathable difference.

What happens if my HVAC system is too small?

If your furnace or air conditioner is too small, they’ll struggle to keep you comfortable. As they work harder, they wear out faster. This will increase the frequency and cost of repairs and reduce the operational life span of the system.

Should I cover my air conditioner in the fall?

It isn’t necessary to cover your air conditioner in the fall, but it can help protect it from collecting debris and suffering damage from wind-blown debris. Be careful not to use it while the cover is on because the heavily restricted airflow can damage the system.
