Abstract :
Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems play a critical role in maintaining indoor comfort, air quality, and energy efficiency, especially during the summer season when cooling demand reaches its peak. Proper maintenance of HVAC systems before the onset of summer ensures reliable operation, reduces energy consumption, minimizes unexpected breakdowns, and extends equipment lifespan. This paper examines the importance of preventive HVAC maintenance, highlighting its economic, operational, environmental, and health-related benefits. The study emphasizes that routine inspections, cleaning, and servicing can significantly improve system performance and occupant comfort while reducing long-term operational costs.
