Halloween brings with it a long list of scary and spooky things, such as ghosts, ghouls, goblins, and more. But the only thing scarier than these frightful sights is HVAC problems that could have been avoided with regular HVAC maintenance!
The cooling temperatures that come with Halloween make scheduling preventative HVAC service in Clarksville, TN especially important. Because without routine HVAC service and maintenance, your system can start doing some scary and potentially dangerous things!

- Overflowing drain pans Without regular, thorough cleanings, drain pans can leak and overflow. This can cause water damage while encouraging mold and mildew growth.
