We recommend having your air conditioner checked for minor repairs and problems and cleaned each year in the spring. This way, it will be in optimal working condition during the hot summer months. We recommend you have your heater cleaned every fall to do the same. With proper checkups and maintenance of these systems, you will prevent frustrating and costly repairs later on.

How is this so? Most people just do not realize the importance of regularly cleaning dryer vents. However, frequent cleaning of your dryer vent is a crucial part of home maintenance. Over time, lint will build up along the walls of your dryer vent. Also, with some poorly sealed vents, birds can even build nests in your vent.
