HVAC Service or HVAC Maintenance: What’s the Difference?

Here at Butler’s, we often get asked by our clients about the difference between HVAC Service and HVAC Maintenance. We are going to explain what the differences are between the two: ​ Needing HVAC Service refers to needing a repair done. HVAC Maintenance refers to preventative measures that help improve performance and extend the life of your system. ​ Let us put it this way: When your car is in the workshop, having the oil changed, and the filters replaced, you are having maintenance done. These little things will add up to the longevity of your vehicle. The same principle applies to your HVAC system. On the other hand, let’s say you are on your way to work, driving, and you notice that your tire is flat. The mechanic will need to repair that, so HVAC Service works pretty much the same way.
