The best time to do preventive check-ups of your HVAC system is Spring and Autumn.
Most households nowadays are relying heavily on HVAC systems to go comfortably through the heat of the summer and chilly autumn nights. New models allow homeowners to control the parameters of the cooling, heating and ventilating in each room of the house, scheduling their systems or operating them remotely through an Internet connection.
Whether your HVAC system is brand new or it has a few years of activity behind, it should be regularly maintained by a professional HVAC expert. The manufacturer of your unit usually specifies how frequent maintenance should be, but for a unit to work efficiently, twice a year is generally the ideal frequency for check-ups.

Always professional and thorough whenever they service our home. We have used Thomas Hoffmann Air Conditioning & Heating multiple times since we moved into our home and will continue to use them in the future.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the thoughtful review, Joe. We appreciate you and your business!
0 stars if I could. Bought a faulty (not to mention overpriced) surface igniter, called back five minutes later after installing, of course they didn’t stand behind their part. Go to Grainger instead. Same (working) part, half the price.
Response from the owner:Hi there. I am unable to locate your customer profile. Please give our office a call at 314-471-7625 so we can get this figured out for you.
From the phone to the completion of the job everyone is so polite and informative. I had Giovani as our representative and he was very informative and professional, and knew exactly what the problem was. Thanks so much.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review, Frank! We appreciate you and your business.
My furnace was not working. A very nice gentleman came out this morning and fixed the problem and now I have much needed heat. He was very professional and courteous. I will definitely be using them again when the need arises.

I will always call Hoffmans for my air and heat needs. They were out to my daughters house that day and fixed it. It was right before the weekend storm with below zero temps the next day. They saved my daughter and grandbabies. I could never thank them more.
Response from the owner:We are so happy to hear that we could help! Thank you for the kind review.

Got a quote over the phone. Everything was explained thoroughly. Dakota, my technician arrived and on time, was very professional and knowledgeable. He didn’t try to upsell or change anything. He did a great job. We can already tell the difference since the ducts and vents were cleaned. Would recommend an use Hoffman again in the future.
Response from the owner:Happy to hear you had a pleasant experience using Thomas Hoffmann!
The technician, Ryan, was knowledgeable and helpful in identifying the issue with our mini split AC unit. They are the second company we called after issues with the first and will be using Hoffmann again.

The best time to do preventive check-ups of your HVAC system isSpring and Autumn. That’s because the unit will perform two entirely different tasks in between. After running intensively for the whole summer, it’s wisest to get a team to look at your exterior and interior units, the duct system, the pipes, etc. Making sure everything works properly for the winter is part of preventive maintenance, and it prolongs the life-span of any system you have.
Preventing Bigger Issues
Identifying potential problems or issues in their incipient phase can save you a lot of time, money and comfort in the long-term. This type of approach allows you to spot cracks, leaks, weakened connections, damaging factors and other things that would become worse if ignored.
Cleaning Up Summer’s Dirt
It is also a good opportunity to clean the system, the filters and ducts, as well as groom the area around the exterior unit. All of these steps will ensure a smooth start for the winter.
Changing the Thermostat Settings
For many users, setting up the thermostat is an annoying task. Use the autumn check-up as a chance of asking the maintenance team to do it for you. This way, you will make sure everything is indeed programmed the way you want. If you have any doubts on how to program and schedule your thermostat, ask your HVAC expert for help.
Schedule Future Maintenance and Getting Good Deals
An advantage of getting your HVAC unit checked preventively is becoming a loyal customer of your HVAC service company. A lot of companies offer discounts if you schedule your maintenance with them regularly. Saving a few bucks on the service, on top of the money you would spend on more serious problems, is not to be ignored. Also, you can talk to the experts about how you can choose a more effective energy plan, saving even more.
Now that summer has ended, the information above should convince you to pick up the phone and call your HVAC service team for an autumn check-up. That way, you can prolong your system’s life and fix any potential issues before they cause costly problems. Give us a call 24/7 (314) 471-7625!
