If your furnace is 12 years old or younger, and has been properly maintained, you shouldn't need to worry about replacing your unit just yet.

The Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (S.E.E.R.) quantifies the cooling capacity your system provides relative to the electricity expenditure. For instance, a 3-ton unit might possess a S.E.E.R. efficiency score of 13, 14, or 15. A higher S.E.E.R. indicates superior system efficiency, with ratings typically ranging from 13 to 17.
If you do not have an HVAC maintenance plan, we suggest that homeowners schedule a professional tune-up for the central heating and cooling system at least once a year.

Although it may feel like covering your outdoor unit in the winter provides an extra layer of protection, it is not recommended. Every year, we receive service calls from customers whose outdoor unit condenser is damaged because someone in the home accidentally turned on the air conditioner without knowing that the outdoor unit has been covered. Damages to your condenser and its internal components could be costly and time consuming. The outdoor condenser is built to withstand the environment and does not need to be covered.
We recommended that you replace your disposable filters at least once every 3 months. If you have washable filters, try to clean them once a month. This will help with the efficiency of your HVAC system as well as improving your air quality.
Regularly changing filters is crucial. Outdoor units placed on the ground must be kept free from debris, clutter, and vegetation that could obstruct airflow. It's important to prevent pets from accessing the unit as their urine can cause costly damage. Exercise caution when using a weed trimmer near the unit to avoid harming control wiring. For any other maintenance needs, seek assistance from qualified professionals.
