How to do it — step by step
Schedule a licensed HVAC technician before the cooling season starts (spring). They'll clean coils, check refrigerant levels, inspect electrical connections, lubricate moving parts, and test the thermostat. A well-maintained system runs 15–25% more efficiently and lasts 5–10 years longer than a neglected one. Skipping this can lead to compressor failure — a $1,500–$3,500 repair.
