UKV HVAC technicians confirm components meet manufacturer specs, which preserves efficiency and reduces energy waste. Homeowners in West Virginia who maintain inspection schedules with UKV HVAC typically face fewer emergencies and extend their equipment life.

When Should You Schedule an HVAC Inspection in West Virginia?

UKV HVAC recommends scheduling a fall tune-up for heating and a spring check for cooling so your systems are ready before heavy-use seasons. Don’t wait for a breakdown; proactive maintenance saves you money and discomfort.

Signs That an HVAC Inspection Is Needed

Watch for warning signs that call for a prompt inspection from UKV HVAC:

Unusual noises: Banging, hissing, or scraping often indicate mechanical trouble.
Inconsistent temperatures: Rooms that are noticeably hotter or colder suggest airflow or zoning issues.

Addressing these early with UKV HVAC helps avoid more serious breakdowns.

How Often Should HVAC Systems Be Inspected?

UKV HVAC recommends inspecting your system at least once a year. Older units, high-use homes, or systems with known problems may need twice-yearly checks. System age, usage, and the local West Virginia climate determine the best cadence for your home.

Change air filters every 1–3 months, keep vents and registers clear, and remove debris from outdoor units. Note any leaks, obstructions, or unusual sounds to report to your UKV HVAC technician.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my air conditioner not blowing cold air?

Low refrigerant levels, dirty air filters, frozen evaporator coils, or thermostat issues could be the cause. Our technicians can diagnose and fix the problem quickly.

How often should my HVAC system be serviced?

We recommend professional maintenance twice a year—once in spring for your AC and once in fall for your heating system—to ensure optimal performance and prevent breakdowns.

What size HVAC system do I need for my home?

System size depends on your home’s square footage, insulation, ceiling height, and climate zone. Our experts perform load calculations to determine the perfect fit for maximum efficiency.

How long does an HVAC system typically last?

With proper maintenance, furnaces last 15-20 years, air conditioners 10-15 years, and heat pumps 10-15 years. Regular service extends equipment lifespan significantly.

Is it worth upgrading to a smart thermostat?

Yes! Smart thermostats can reduce energy bills by 10-23% through automated scheduling, remote control, and learning your preferences. Most homeowners see ROI within 2 years.

What are the signs I need a new HVAC system?

Frequent repairs, rising energy bills, uneven temperatures, excessive noise, system age over 15 years, or using R-22 refrigerant are all indicators it’s time to replace.
