Many manufacturers (Trane, Carrier, Lennox, Bryant) require documented annual professional service to validate the warranty. Missed years can void warranty coverage on major components like compressors and heat exchangers.
Is it worth getting a maintenance plan for older systems?+
Yes — most so. Older systems benefit MORE from maintenance because efficiency degradation accelerates. We've kept 20+ year-old Trane systems running well with consistent maintenance.

Spring

Chapel Hill's heavy tree canopy delays spring AC peak demand by 1-2 weeks vs. open suburban areas.

Historic Chapel Hill homes (Westwood, Greenwood) often have inadequate insulation. AC sizing is more art than science here.

Heavy fall debris in established neighborhoods. Pre-season cleaning is non-negotiable.
