A Southerner’s Guide to Seasonal HVAC Cleaning and Maintenance
Your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning unit works hard all year long. First, you’ve got summer, with its triple-digit temperature days. Then there is that awkward age, from summer to fall, when your HVAC system runs mainly on “fan only” to circulate all that fresh, cool air. No sooner do you get used to those temperatures than it starts getting cold, and you change the thermostat setting to “heat.” And then it is spring again, and you often don’t know what to expect.
