We recommend annual maintenance before summer starts, typically in late spring. Baywood Park’s Mediterranean climate with warm, dry summers and mild winters is easier on HVAC systems than extreme climates, but regular maintenance is still crucial. During maintenance visits, we clean coils, check refrigerant levels, inspect electrical connections, and replace filters. This prevents most emergency breakdowns and keeps your system running efficiently when you need it most. If you have pets, live near construction, or notice your system running more frequently, you might benefit from twice-yearly service. The investment in maintenance is much less than the cost of emergency repairs or premature system replacement.
