It’s Time for Your Fall Preventive HVAC Maintenance
Check out these 7 reasons for maintaining your HVAC!
Maintaining your HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) unit is a wise and worthwhile investment.
It can prevent expensive breakdowns. Just like your car, your HVAC system needs to be maintained on a regular basis. Finding a small problem today could prevent a more costly repair in the future.
It reduces your energy cost. Having your unit maintained helps it run at or close to peak efficiency. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the result is saving up to 30% on your energy bill!
It extends the life of your system. Compare your HVAC to your body. If you maintain your health, you will live longer. Likewise, your HVAC system will last longer if it’s maintained, which means that you won’t have to replace it as quickly.
It maintains your warranty. Most HVAC manufacturers require proof of annual maintenance when you submit a repair claim under warranty. Some of the components that make your HVAC system work are fairly expensive, so investing in annual maintenance to keep them covered under your warranty can save you a lot of money if something goes wrong.
It improves your air quality. According to the EPA, indoor levels of airborne pollutants can be 2-5 times higher (in extreme cases more than 100 times higher) than outdoor levels. So, you want someone regularly checking that the air pumping through your vents is as clean and well-filtered as possible, especially if someone in your family suffers from allergies or breathing issues.
It increases your comfort. If your HVAC system isn’t working correctly, your home is going to be too hot, too cold, too humid, or too dry. None of these conditions are comfortable. However, you might begin to accept them because you don’t realize they can be fixed. A trained technician will help your unit run at its optimal level.
It helps the environment. What’s good for you is also good for the environment! When regular maintenance is reducing your energy bills, it’s also reducing your energy usage. Plus, we can give you suggestions about other ways to reduce your carbon footprint and save money after we examine your system.
