Maintenance generally includes cleaning and replacing filters, inspecting electrical and mechanical components, lubricating parts, and checking for system safety and efficiency.
Air filters should be checked monthly and replaced or cleaned every one to three months depending on your system usage and environmental factors such as pets or dust.
