Spring HVAC Maintenance Tips Every Homeowner Should Know

April 20, 2026

This is a subtitle for your new post

It feels like Spring has finally sprung throughout most of the province, and not a moment too soon! Just a few weeks ago, much of Ontario was still covered with metre-high snowbanks. The arrival of warmer weather – not to mention increased hours of sunlight – has many of us refocusing on the outdoors: getting back into regular walk routines, setting up our patio furniture, and firing up that BBQ!


While you’re welcoming the new season, don’t overlook the mechanical appliances that got you through the winter. Now is the perfect time to show them some love, and make sure you’re prepared for the seasons ahead!


Here are some tips to keep you prepared:

Test Your AC Early

You likely won’t need it yet, but making sure it’s ready to go for the summer is always a smart move.

Clean Your ERV/HRV Core & Filters

Getting fresh indoor air into your home, and getting the stale air out, is important for your health.

Check Your CO Detectors

It could save your life! Ensure your home stays safe by testing and replacing batteries as needed.

Change Your Furnace Filter

It’s important for the air quality in your home, and critical to ensure your air conditioner will work well when the time comes.

Bonus Tip: Improve Your Indoor Air Quality

It’s worth noting that there are many other steps you can take to improve indoor air quality.
