HVAC Maintenance Checklist
In this neighborhood we have found many HVAC repairs related to pest control, such as squirrels, vermin, wasps, and lizards that infiltrate equipment. This is likely due to the neighborhood’s wooded location. This is why scheduling HVAC maintenance twice a year – in the fall and the spring – can help identify issues before they become bigger. Regular pest control is also helpful.
We recommend this HVAC maintenance checklist (with a few related tasks) to keep your air conditioner and heater in top shape in Weston Lakes.
Quarterly
- Change air filters (MERV 8-10)
- Schedule pest control
Every Six Months
- Pour vinegar down condensate drain (especially in the spring/fall)
- Clear landscaping from condenser
- Check batteries in thermostat (if needed)
- Check batteries in smoke/carbon monoxide detectors
- At season change, change the direction of your ceiling fans
Yearly
- Spring HVAC Tune-Up from a licensed HVAC technician
- Fall HVAC Tune-Up from a licensed HVAC technician
- Replace in-duct or furnace filters
- Dryer vent cleaning
- Remove and clean bathroom exhaust fans to remove humidity/mold (as needed)
- Check your plumbing fixtures (bathrooms, kitchen, water heater) for signs of leaks
5 years

Testimonials from Weston Lakes Neighbors
Find out what neighbors are saying about the HVAC service they have received from Terry’s A/C & Heating.
“I do not have a new unit installed by Terry’s A/C. Several years ago we did install a new unit with another dealer. After a couple of years we had problems with it, and Terry’s became our dealer to solve the problems basically created by the first guy. My husband and I worked with Summer Terry at WoodGroup, and that is where we came to know Rob. We have been perfectly happy with Rob’s care of our HVAC needs since. Rob is courteous, knowledgeable and many times saved us money. I wish we had known him
