Life is always busy! There are always more things to do than you can fit on your to-do list, let alone get done in the day. It’s easy to prioritize the things that come up suddenly—someone is sick, the toilet is clogged, the dog needs to go out! Planning ahead to try to avoid having problems come up suddenly can be more of a challenge.
But being prepared is so worthwhile! So we would like to help you out. We have an HVAC maintenance program that can keep you on track, so you can prioritize caring for your home more easily. How? We’ll explain!
The Benefits of HVAC Maintenance
When we say HVAC maintenance, we mean twice-a-year servicing, once for your air conditioner and once for your heating system. Keeping both of these critical pieces of equipment in the best possible shape has some remarkable benefits.
- Functionality: It will be easier to keep your home more consistently and more evenly comfortable in temperature.
- Efficiency: Both of these systems drop in efficiency about 5% each year due to dust and grit, lack of lubrication, and wear and tear. Maintenance will reverse the effect of that drop.
- Reliability: When your HVAC system always receives the appropriate maintenance, the vast majority—85%!—of otherwise-possible repair needs in the coming year can be eliminated.
- Longevity: An air conditioner might last ten or twelve years, a gas furnace fifteen, and an electric furnace twenty. But those timelines are based on equipment which receives maintenance every year. A complete lack of maintenance is likely to drastically reduce that lifespan, sometimes by as much as 50%.
- Warranty: A warranty agreement for a piece of equipment goes both ways. The manufacturer takes responsibility for covering certain costs in the case of a problem, but the purchaser also has some responsibility. Lack of professional maintenance will generally void a system’s warranty.
- Safety: Last but definitely not least, these systems can create the risk of safety hazards if they’re not properly cared for. Whether it’s electric shock, gas leaks, or carbon monoxide, you won’t have to worry about it when you know your HVAC system is thoroughly inspected and tested twice a year.
