Top 5 HVAC Maintenance Questions β€” Answered by Pros


πŸ”§ Introduction

Want your heating and cooling systems to last longer and cost less? Here’s what our experts at Climatisation Applewood Quebec Inc. hear most often β€” and how we advise homeowners and businesses to keep their HVAC systems in top shape.


❓ 1. How often should I service my HVAC system?

Answer:
At least twice a year:

  • Spring for cooling equipment (AC, heat pumps)
  • Fall for heating (furnaces, heat pumps)

Regular maintenance reduces breakdowns, lowers energy bills, and extends equipment life.


❓ 2. How long does an HVAC system typically last?

Lifespans:

  • Central Air Conditioner: 12–15 years
  • Heat Pump: 10–15 years
  • Furnace: 15–20 years

Tip: Systems last longer with professional tune-ups and timely part replacement.


❓ 3. When should I replace vs. repair my system?

Consider replacing if:

  • It’s over 12 years old
  • Frequent repairs are required
  • Energy bills are rising
  • Noise or comfort issues persist

We offer honest system evaluations to help you decide.


❓ 4. Do I really need a smart thermostat?

Yes β€” here’s why:

  • Save up to 15% on energy costs
  • Remote control via app
  • Adaptive schedules based on your usage

We install and configure smart thermostats like Ecobee, Nest, and more.


❓ 5. Why is preventative maintenance important for businesses?

For commercial clients (restaurants, offices, clinics), downtime equals lost revenue.
Preventive HVAC maintenance helps:

  • Avoid system failure
  • Maintain comfort for staff and clients
  • Comply with safety and hygiene standards (especially for refrigeration)

🧠 Applewood Advice:

β€œAn HVAC system is like your car β€” regular tune-ups cost less than emergency repairs.”
