Annual Care for your FURNACE & Air CONDITIONING units
Maintain your equipment to prevent future problems and unwanted costs. Keep your cooling and heating system at peak performance by having a Swenson Heating Team Member do annual pre-season check-up. HVAC Contractors get busy once summer and winter come, so it’s best to check the cooling system in the spring and the heating system in the fall. To remember, you might plan the check-ups around the time changes in the spring and fall.

DIY Tips for FURNACE & Air Conditioning unit tune-up
Inspect, clean, or change air filters once a month in your central air conditioner, furnace, and/or heat pump. Your service tech from Swenson Heating can show you how to do this. A dirty filter can increase energy costs and damage your equipment, leading to early failure.
