When your AC stops cooling, the fix is sometimes a 30-second thermostat check and sometimes a failed compressor.

When your furnace stops heating on a cold morning, the culprit is sometimes a thermostat setting you can flip in 30 seconds and sometimes a cracked heat exchanger.

An hour of AC maintenance a year buys you quieter operation, lower utility bills, and a system that's far less likely to fail you on the hottest week of summer.
