Summer heat and winter chills are no joke in Newark, DE—and your HVAC system knows it. With your air conditioning working overtime in August, now’s the perfect time to talk about preventative maintenance. Spoiler alert: it’s the smartest move you can make to keep your system running strong all year long.
Why Preventative Maintenance Matters
Think of preventative HVAC maintenance like getting regular oil changes for your car. You’re not fixing a problem—you’re avoiding one.
Here’s what it can help you avoid:
- Unexpected breakdowns: Especially during heat waves or cold snaps.
- Higher energy bills: A poorly maintained system works harder—and costs more.
- Shorter lifespan: Skipping maintenance can shave years off your system.
- Poor air quality: Dirty filters and clogged parts can impact the air you breathe.
What’s Included in a Maintenance Visit
During a typical maintenance visit, a licensed technician will:
- Inspect and clean condenser and evaporator coils
- Check refrigerant levels and pressure
- Test and calibrate the thermostat
- Examine electrical connections and controls
- Clear condensate drains to prevent clogs and leaks
- Replace or clean air filters
- Lubricate moving parts
- Inspect ductwork for leaks or damage
How Often Should You Schedule Maintenance?
For most Newark homeowners, twice a year is ideal: once in spring before cooling season and once in fall before heating season. This schedule helps catch issues early and prepares your system for seasonal demands.
Signs You Need Maintenance Now
- Your energy bills are suddenly rising
- You notice uneven cooling or heating
