Absolutely. Regular tune-ups make sure your system is in top shape, ensuring proper operation, optimal energy efficiency, and a long system life. By scheduling it once a year, you’re making sure it will always be there when you and your family need it the most.

For best results, swap standard one-inch filters once every one to three months, or for high-efficiency (HEPA) filters, once every six to 12 months. This helps make sure the filters catch as many airborne pollutants as possible without blocking airflow or adding stress onto your heating and cooling systems.

Contrary to what it might seem, closing vents might actually cost you more. A closed vent constricts system airflow and puts more pressure in your ducts. This can put more stress on your furnace as it tries to reach your desired heat. It may even cause leaks in your duct system. Bottom line: Keep your vents open.
