Cundiff Heating & Air - Roanoke's Experienced HVAC Services

In the Roanoke area, with its high pollen counts and seasonal changes, we generally recommend checking your filter every month and changing it at least every 90 days. If you have pets or allergies, changing it every 30-60 days is best. A clean filter is crucial for protecting your system from strain, improving efficiency, and maintaining good indoor air quality.

Regular maintenance is key. We recommend scheduling a professional tune-up in the spring, which includes cleaning the coils and checking for early signs of rust. Keep the area around the unit clear of leaves and debris, and ensure it has proper drainage. A protective coil coating applied during a service visit can also significantly slow corrosion and extend your unit's life.

This is often related to the local issues we see. A severely clogged air filter forces your system to work much harder, while corrosion on the outdoor condenser coils reduces its ability to release heat, making it run longer to cool your home. We recommend starting with a filter check and then calling for a diagnostic visit. Our technicians can identify the root cause, whether it's a simple fix or a sign your system is losing efficiency.
