Get a tune-up on your heating or air conditioning system every year. Why? I am glad you asked… Heating and Cooling systems used to be built like tanks. You could abuse them, not maintain them, and they lasted a while. Not true today. With the requirements on manufacturers to get the most efficiency from systems, they have many more components.
