HVAC Maintenance & Repair in St. George & Hurricane, UT | Dutton Air Care

Maintenance Recommendations:

Most people simply don’t give their heating and air conditioning systems a second thought until they fail to work properly. But your heating and air conditioning system needs regular maintenance. The short-term effects of failing to maintain your system properly can be poor performance and increased operating costs. The long-term effects can be poor performance, increased operating costs, and a significantly shortened life for your unit. Therefore It pays to maintain!

To help your system stay in top condition, we recommend that you clean or change your filters every one to three months, depending on the air quality in your home. You should have your system cleaned and inspected by a qualified service technician annually. However, some systems may require service more often than once a year, and some may require service only every other year. If you are unsure of whether your system needs to be serviced annually, please call us and we will be happy to tell you how often to have your particular system cleaned and serviced.)
