14 Fredericksburg Parent and Family • September 2018 Ask the Expert a sk t h e e x p e rt Q: When and how often should people get their HVaC serviced? Your home's HVAC will be more effi cient and last longer if you receive bi-annual maintenance. One check for the cooling season and another check for the hea ng season. Even if your system appears to be working fi ne, there could be is- sues that are building and may fail with heavy use during the ho er or colder weather months. With proper care, your hea ng system can last up to 20 years and your air condi oner 15 years. Having your system maintained regularly will also help avoid inconvenient scheduling of emergency service calls and costly repairs or replacements.
