As a homeowner, you'll likely find yourself needing HVAC services, which are also referred to as heating and cooling services. According to ComfyLiving, it's estimated that 90% of the homes in the U.S. have air conditioning systems. However, despite likely needing to hire HVAC services at some point, many people have no idea what these types of services consist of. Here are a few of the most commonly requested services that fall under the umbrella of heating and cooling services.

1. Regular Maintenance

Your heating or cooling appliance should be maintained on an annual basis. During an annual maintenance service, an HVAC technician will start out by inspecting your heating or cooling unit. They'll ensure all the belts, hoses, and parts are in good, working condition. If there are issues, they'll recommend repairs be made. From there, they'll clean your unit, replace the filter and lubricate or oil moving parts. This helps to ensure your unit operates efficiently and helps to extend the lifespan of your heating or cooling appliance.

2. Emergency Repairs

Another element that falls under the HVAC services umbrella is repair. If a technician notices that your unit needs repairs during a maintenance appointment or isn't working efficiently or properly, repairs may be needed. An HVAC technician can inspect your unit and troubleshoot it to determine what repairs may be needed. They can also help you determine if repair or replacement makes sense for your unit based on the age of the unit, the condition of the unit, and the type of repair that may be needed.

3. Installations and Replacements

The final HVAC service offered by HVAC companies is replacement services. When your heating or cooling unit fails to operate or when repair costs are too high, your heating or cooling unit may need to be replaced. An HVAC company can help you select a new heating or cooling unit and then install it.
