10 Signs Your HVAC System Needs a Tune-Up

Is your HVAC system acting up? Discover 10 signs it's time for a professional tune-up from Hammond Services, serving Griffin, Newnan, Stockbridge & nearby areas.

Your HVAC system works hard to keep your home comfortable year-round—but without regular maintenance, it can start to lose efficiency, develop hidden issues, and even break down unexpectedly. With warmer weather settling into Georgia, now is the ideal time to schedule your HVAC tune-up with Hammond Services.

Here are 10 signs your system needs attention:

1. Uneven Temperatures Throughout the Home

If one room feels like a sauna while another is freezing, your HVAC system could be struggling to distribute air evenly.

2. Strange Noises

Rattling, banging, or squealing sounds coming from your unit are never a good sign. These could indicate loose parts, motor problems, or worn belts.

3. Unpleasant Odors

A musty smell may point to mold or mildew in your ducts, while burning smells could signal electrical issues. Either way, it’s time for a professional inspection.

4. Weak Airflow

Poor airflow can be caused by clogged filters, duct blockages, or a failing blower motor—issues a tune-up can quickly identify and resolve.

5. Constant Cycling

If your system keeps turning on and off frequently, it could be struggling to maintain temperature. This short cycling often indicates the need for maintenance.

6. Rising Energy Bills

A spike in your utility costs without a corresponding change in usage may point to an inefficient HVAC system working harder than it should. Follow additional energy efficiency tips from Georgia Power.

7. Thermostat Issues

If your thermostat doesn’t respond properly or the temperature never feels right, a tune-up can help recalibrate it and restore control.

8. Humidity Problems

In spring and summer, your system should help control indoor humidity. If you notice excess moisture or a clammy feeling, it may not be working properly.

9. Dust Buildup

Excess dust around vents and in your home could indicate dirty filters or ducts—both easily addressed during a seasonal tune-up and our duct cleaning service.

10. It’s Been Over a Year Since Your Last Service

Even if your system seems to be running fine, it’s best to have it serviced at least once a year. Preventive maintenance extends the life of your unit and reduces the risk of costly repairs.
