Investor Tip: Summer HVAC Maintenance

Consider scheduling service with the help of RRTPM.


As summer heats up, so does the strain on your rental property’s HVAC system. While everyone agrees that preventative maintenance is vital, many landlords and tenants wonder who is really responsible for what? Below we help you answer that question by discussing landlord responsibilities for HVAC maintenance along with prevention tips to extend the life of your system.

Preventative maintenance is the best defense against more costly and extensive HVAC repairs. As a landlord, extending the life of your system while keeping your tenants comfortable should be a priority. RRTPM has a relationship with several local HVAC companies who offer convenient annual checks to make maintenance stress free at a reasonable rate. Included in these service plans are: cleaning of condenser and evaporator coils, replacement of any worn pulleys and belts, check refrigerant charge, inspection of all electrical systems, fan motor and connections – just to name a few items addressed. By hiring a HVAC company to conduct an inspection, it ensures your HVAC should run smoothly all summer long.

Tenant responsibilities for typical HVAC maintenance consists of quarterly changing of filters and replacing thermostat batteries as needed. Landlord responsibilities consist of routine maintenance checks and any necessary repairs. When all four of these acts are done, the life of the HVAC system is prolonged.
