If your system is making unusual noises, not heating or cooling evenly, or causing a spike in energy bills, it may need repair. Older systems that require frequent service or struggle to keep up may be better replaced. A professional inspection will help determine the most cost effective option.

Most systems should be serviced twice a year. One visit in the spring for cooling and one in the fall for heating. Regular maintenance helps prevent breakdowns and keeps your system running efficiently.
Common signs include weak airflow, warm air coming from vents, strange noises, frequent cycling, and higher energy bills. Addressing these early can prevent a complete system failure.
This could be caused by a dirty filter, thermostat issues, ignition problems, or worn components. A technician can diagnose the issue and restore proper performance.

Tankless Waterheaters FAQ

Tankless water heaters offer a modern approach to hot water by delivering it only when you need it. This section covers common questions about how these systems work, what to expect from performance and maintenance, and whether a tankless system is the right fit for your home.

Yes. Even though tankless water heaters are highly efficient and long-lasting, they still require regular maintenance to perform properly and avoid costly breakdowns.
The most important maintenance is a system flush (descaling). Over time, minerals like calcium and lime build up inside the heat exchanger, especially in areas with hard water. This buildup restricts water flow and reduces efficiency.
We recommend flushing your system once per year under normal conditions. If your home has hard water or heavy usage, flushing may be needed every 6 months.

Skipping maintenance can lead to:

  • Reduced efficiency (higher energy bills)
  • Lower hot water output
  • Error codes or system lockouts
  • Premature failure of internal components
  • Voiding manufacturer warranty in some cases

While it is possible, proper flushing requires:

  • A pump
  • Isolation valves
  • Cleaning solution (like vinegar or descaler)
  • Knowledge of the system

 

Improper maintenance can cause damage, so we recommend having it professionally serviced.

Most flush services take about 45 minutes to 1.5 hours, depending on the system and buildup level.

Absolutely. Routine maintenance helps:

  • Keep efficiency high
  • Prevent costly repairs
  • Extend the lifespan of your system
  • Ensure consistent hot water performance

Yes! At Taylor’s Heating, Cooling & Electrical, we provide full tankless maintenance including:

 

  • System flushing/descaling
  • Filter cleaning
  • Performance check
  • Safety inspection

Mini Split Maintenance Cleaning & Care

Mini split systems are known for their efficiency and flexibility, but regular maintenance is key to keeping them performing properly. Below you will find answers to common questions about upkeep, performance, and how to extend the life of your mini split system.

Yes. Mini-splits require regular maintenance to operate efficiently and reliably. Without proper cleaning, performance drops and issues can develop quickly.

The most critical maintenance is cleaning the indoor unit (head). This includes:

 

  • Air filters
  • Blower wheel (fan)
  • Evaporator coil
  • Drain line

 

These components collect dust, dirt, and even mold over time.

  • Filters: Every 2–4 weeks (homeowner can do this)
  • Deep cleaning (indoor unit): At least once per year
  • Heavy use / pets / smoking homes: Every 6 months

Neglecting maintenance can lead to:

 

  • Reduced airflow and poor performance
  • Musty or moldy smells
  • Water leaking from the indoor unit
  • Higher energy bills
  • System freezing or error codes
  • Premature failure of components

Unlike a traditional furnace, mini-splits pull air directly through the head unit, causing buildup on the blower wheel and coil. This buildup can:

 

  • Restrict airflow
  • Harbor mold and bacteria
  • Spread odors throughout the home

You can clean the filters, but a full cleaning requires:

 

  • Disassembling the unit
  • Cleaning the blower wheel and coil properly
  • Flushing the drain line

 

Improper cleaning can damage the unit or leave buildup behind, so professional service is recommended.

At Taylor’s Heating, Cooling & Electrical, our service includes:

 

  • Removing and cleaning filters
  • Deep cleaning the blower wheel
  • Cleaning and disinfecting the evaporator coil
  • Flushing and testing the drain line
  • Inspecting system operation and performance

 

Yes, all work is performed by trained professionals who follow proper safety standards and industry best practices to ensure quality and peace of mind.

Absolutely. Routine maintenance helps:

  • Maintain strong airflow and efficiency
  • Prevent breakdowns
  • Improve air quality
  • Extend the lifespan of your system
