Want to keep the system running well. How often should heating and cooling be professionally serviced?

Service it twice a year — heating in fall, cooling in spring — or at minimum once a year. Change the air filter every 1–3 months yourself. Regular tune-ups catch small issues early, keep efficiency up, and extend the system's life. Many companies offer maintenance plans that bundle both visits and prioritize you if something breaks in peak season.
