How to maintain your HVAC system
No matter what HVAC system you have, like most things in your home, it requires regular maintenance. Taking care of your system can reduce your energy bills, resulting in the need for fewer costly repairs, better air quality, and less system breakdowns. While it’s best to leave maintenance of these systems to the pros, there are some things you can do to help extend their life:
Maintenance checklist
- replace air filters regularly (every 30 to 90 days);
- Check your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors monthly.
- Inspect ducts for dust, mould, or debris and consider having them cleaned (especially if you have pets or after a reno);
- During and after a heavy snowfall, make sure your furnace’s exhaust vent isn’t obstructed.
- remove any debris from around your outside HVAC unit and clutter from the indoor unit;
- ensure your outdoor HVAC unit is level;
- ensure your thermostat is calibrated to your comfort preferences and monitor your energy bills accordingly;
- Check the batteries in your thermostat at least once a year; and
- schedule regular HVAC maintenance with a trusted professional.
Signs your heating or cooling system needs to be replaced
The average lifespan of an HVAC system varies, typically anywhere from 10 to 25 years. Some symptoms that may suggest it’s time for a replacement include:
- it’s old;
- It’s unreliable and needs frequent repairs;
- it runs constantly.
- some rooms or zones in your home are not heating or cooling properly;
- air quality in your home is noticeably poor, such as excessive dust, high humidity, or the presence of a mouldy odour; and/or
- your energy bills have been unexpectedly increasing.
An outdated heating or cooling system won’t be as effective or energy efficient and can cost you more money compared to the cost of a new system. The cost of a new HVAC system depends on many factors, including the type of unit you’re installing, if new ducts are required, labour requirements, the size of your home, the number of floors and bedrooms and bathrooms, and weather.
Understanding the heating and cooling system you have, as well as how to maintain it, is a key component to homeownership. After all, an HVAC system that runs smoothly means comfort no matter the season!

Wanda Westover Real Estate Broker

Seldom do I post reviews on services that we have used however I wanted to provide this feedback on the excellent real estate … More service we received from Wanda. Always pleasant and cheerful with a measured calm response to anything which involved her consideration and advice. Her service was timely, informed and professional.
We successfully completed a real estate transaction.
The ease and speed with which it was accomplished was as a result of Wanda’s experience.
It was clear to us that she was well known and highly regarded among her colleagues in real estate and other supporting services for example movers, lawyers and various professional consultants. Favourable and unsolicited remarks were received by us on our choice of agent.
We are delighted to be moving to a new home and would use Wanda again in any real estate transaction. Thanks Wanda! -
Wanda has been a pleasure to work with in the process of selling our home in Georgian Bluffs. Consistently, she was friendly, … More easy to talk with, patient, and did not pressure us in any way. She listened well and responded to any concerns or questions as they arose for us. She gave us helpful advice on “staging” our home prior to the visit of her photographer who himself is creative and intentional in his work. She wisely advised us to have a visual septic inspection completed by a certified inspector and have the septic cleaned, thus adding helpful information to our listing. She arranged to have a local trades-person assess a small repair matter to give us a cost estimate and to make such available to a potential buyer. Thanks to her years of experience in real estate as well as her commitment to ongoing learning, she accurately advised us about market trends and shifting economic factors and influences as we determined a realistic list price.
Wanda is part of a local “team” of Exp realtors who truly function as a team. It just so happened that an offer came in when Wanda was not available. Her colleagues were very helpful and available to us as they navigated us through the detailed paperwork, which led eventually to the sale of our home.
We highly recommend Wanda as a realtor. Thank you, Wanda, for making a potentially stressful transition in our lives much easier for us. Your knowledge, guidance, and reassuring presence have been invaluable.
