How often should I get my
equipment maintained?
Heating and cooling equipment
should be inspected by a qualified technician once a
year. Annual maintenance prevents emergency
break-downs and enables your equipment to operate at
its most efficient, as it was designed to do.
Do I need to
cover my outside air conditioning unit in the
winter?
It’s always a good idea to keep
dirt, leaves, etc. from settling on your air
conditioner coil. Covering your air conditioner for
the winter will keep off whatever dust and
pollutants accumulate along with your snow. Just
remember to take the cover off in the spring!
What does SEER
stand for?
SEER stands for Seasonal Energy
Efficiency Ratio. It is a rating that indicates how
energy efficient an air conditioner is. The best
units now have a SEER rating up to 21.

How long
should my equipment last?
With proper care and
maintenance, a good quality cooling system can be
expected to last about 15 years. Gas furnaces may
last up to 20-25 years.
What can I
check before calling for service if my unit is not
working?
First make sure the unit has
power. Check to see if any breakers are thrown in
your electrical box. You may want to check your
utility’s website or customer service telephone line
to see if there are any service interruptions in
your area.
