How often do I need to service my HVAC system?

• <div><p>You need to service an HVAC system about twice per year, with a service including an inspection and basic maintenance. It’s best to schedule maintenance in the spring (after the furnace has been running and before the AC kicks on) and in the fall (after the AC worked hard all summer and before winter’s first chill arrives). </p><p>Regular HVAC services will keep the system working as efficiently as possible, saving you money on utilities and larger repairs. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/ac-service-cost.htm">HVAC maintenance costs</a> around $250 per visit, while bigger repairs from forgotten upkeep could cost thousands.</p></div>

How much should an HVAC service call be?

• <div><p>Most HVAC companies charge a flat service call fee of between <b>$75 and $150</b>, which includes traveling to your home and inspecting your system to find the underlying problem. Keep in mind that these prices only include diagnostics and the actual repairs will usually be billed separately. If you’re calling for routine service, the service call will be included in your inspection and tune-up, with the total sitting around <b>$150</b>. Your prices could be a little higher if you have a very large home with multiple condensers and air handlers, as inspections and servicing take longer.</p></div>

"Called on a Monday morning with a problem with my furnace. They were there that afternoon. Explained the problem and said I needed a new furnace due to a hole in the heat exchanger. Tuesday afternoon they were at my house by 3:15 PM and the old furnace was out and the new furnace was installed by 5:15 PM. Very professional service, covered my floor with a tarp so not to make a mess of it, cleaned up everything. I would recommend Mark and his team to everyone."

Heating Oil questions, answered by experts

Most maintenance checks take 2-5 hours, though extensive repairs may take longer.

Service costs range from $200 to $1,500, depending on maintenance needs, system age, and labor.

You need to service an HVAC system about twice per year, with a service including an inspection and basic maintenance. It’s best to schedule maintenance in the spring (after the furnace has been running and before the AC kicks on) and in the fall (after the AC worked hard all summer and before winter’s first chill arrives).

Regular HVAC services will keep the system working as efficiently as possible, saving you money on utilities and larger repairs. HVAC maintenance costs around $250 per visit, while bigger repairs from forgotten upkeep could cost thousands.

The most obvious downside is the high upfront cost of buying and installing one of these systems. Additionally, sometimes the system can take a longer time to heat than alternatives like a boiler. Also, if something goes wrong with the geothermal pump, repairs are often significantly more expensive than repairing traditional, above-ground heat pumps.

Most HVAC companies charge a flat service call fee of between $75 and $150, which includes traveling to your home and inspecting your system to find the underlying problem. Keep in mind that these prices only include diagnostics and the actual repairs will usually be billed separately. If you’re calling for routine service, the service call will be included in your inspection and tune-up, with the total sitting around $150. Your prices could be a little higher if you have a very large home with multiple condensers and air handlers, as inspections and servicing take longer.
