Four Types of HVAC Maintenance Tasks
Most of the HVAC maintenance that you undertake as a homeowner is proactive and preventative, meaning you’re doing work that will help future problems from occurring. There is a lot that can go wrong with your HVAC, including leaks, corrosion, and issues with distributing hot or cold air. And everything from clogged filters to dirty coils can lead to a problem, so it’s important that you stay on top of your maintenance tasks year after year. You can’t put together an HVAC to-do list if you don’t know what you have to do in the first place. We’ve broken them in to specific timelines so that you can easily differentiate between what needs to get done right now and what needs to get done just once a year. Following this list will help you keep your HVAC in strong working order, and will also ensure that, if there is a problem, you find out about it sooner rather than later.
Type 1 Right now
Make sure that these tasks are always ticked off to mitigate the potential for avoidable issues with your HVAC system:
​
-
Check that the area around the visible indoor and outdoor components of your HVAC system (think AC units and heating units) are free of debris, including boxes, grass, leaves, and furniture.
-
Ensure that there is two feet of cleared space around all HVAC system components.
-
If you haven’t already, buy high-efficiency air filters so that you have them ready to go. If you don’t have a high-efficiency filter in place already, swap one in.
Type 2 Once a month
Inspect your air conditioner refrigerant lines for leaks. These two lines, which are typically copper, connect your outdoor air conditioner to your system’s indoor evaporator coil.
Type 3 Once a season
-
Replace the air filter every 90 days.
-
Turn off water to the furnace humidifier in the summer.
-
Replace the humidifier filter and turn water back on in the fall.
Type 4 Once a year
-
Go through your home and replace the batteries in all of your carbon monoxide detectors.
-
Lubricate your HVAC motor and replace the fan belt if it’s not running efficiently.
-
Clean your AC condensation drain line with bleach. Directions on how to do that here.
-
Take a look at your outdoor AC unit and ensure that, in addition to being free of debris, the unit is standing on level ground.

If you follow this list and make sure to do the right tasks at the right times, your HVAC system should run well for a long time. The life expectancy of an HVAC system is about 10 to 25 years—and with preventative maintenance you can expect yours to last closer to 25 than 10.
