Question 4

How often should I service my HVAC system in Hardeeville's climate?

Accepted Answer

Savannah's coastal Georgia climate brings hot, humid summers with 91°F highs and persistent 75% humidity pushing heat index well past the thermometer. Atlantic coastal moisture drives heavy latent cooling loads from May through September. Mild winters (40°F avg low) mean minimal heating demand — AC performance and moisture control dominate the service cycle year-round. Most HVAC manufacturers recommend twice-yearly tune-ups — a cooling check in spring and a heating check in fall — to maintain efficiency and warranty coverage. Many Hardeeville contractors offer annual maintenance plans that bundle both visits at a discount.
