Preventative Maintenance FAQ
Straight answers to common questions about preventative HVAC maintenance for SouthCoast homeowners.
How often should HVAC preventative maintenance be done?
Most residential systems should be serviced once per year. If you have both heating and cooling equipment, two seasonal visits per year is the best way to maintain efficiency and reduce unexpected breakdown risk.
What happens during a preventative maintenance visit?
We inspect key components, verify system performance, check electrical connections, evaluate airflow, clean accessible coils, inspect drain lines, and provide clear recommendations if anything needs attention.
Do you clean the coils during maintenance?
Yes. When coils are accessible, we inspect and clean them as needed. Clean coils support proper heat transfer and help reduce strain that can lead to poor performance, higher energy use, and system issues.
Will maintenance prevent HVAC breakdowns completely?
No maintenance plan can guarantee a system will never fail, but routine service greatly reduces the likelihood of breakdowns. Preventative maintenance helps catch minor issues early and keeps the system operating properly.
Is preventative maintenance worth it for newer HVAC systems?
Yes. Preventative maintenance protects your investment from the start, keeps the system operating efficiently, and can help reduce long-term repair risk as the system ages.
Do you provide service across the SouthCoast?
Yes. LanTex provides preventative HVAC maintenance for homeowners across New Bedford, Dartmouth, Fairhaven, Fall River, Westport, and surrounding SouthCoast communities.
