7 Reasons for HVAC Maintenance
1. Reduction in electricity consumption.
The steps included in preventive maintenance will thoroughly clean and test various components of your system. Doing so will cause the system to work more efficiently.
This means less energy consumption and more savings for you! Neglecting HVAC maintenance can cause your system to work harder and harder for the same results, using more and more electricity as the years go on.
2. Prevention of costly repairs.
One of many reasons for maintenance is to detect and correct problem areas early before they become a system failure. A skilled HVAC technician will often spot problem areas in preventive maintenance before they become a costly surprise.
3. Fulfillment of warranty requirements.
If your HVAC components are under warranty, you should know that most manufacturers require evidence of annual maintenance to pay a claim. If something malfunctions that are covered under warranty, you’ll be able to file your claim with more confidence and ease with evidence of maintenance.
4. Improvement of the quality of air in your home.
Part of the function of your HVAC system is to filter pollutants out of the air you and your family or employees breathe. Your HVAC system has to work hard to filter out allergens and pollutants, so the more efficient the system, the higher your air quality will be.
5. Safety of your family and home.
Your technician will test for any leakage of carbon monoxide, which can be deadly for your family. Also, maintenance can help prevent malfunctions in the most extreme temperatures.
6. Extension of your HVAC system life.
Regular maintenance will extend the life of your current HVAC system, putting off costly system replacement costs. You want your HVAC system to serve you as long as it can serve you well. Regular maintenance helps extend that time.
7. Financial savings.
We mentioned your well-maintained system will use less electricity. This results in savings for you. But really all reasons for maintenance we touched on mean savings for you. You may save money by catching an issue before it becomes a costly repair or maybe even get several more years of use out of your system before needing to replace it. You could save money by having a warranty in place to cover necessary repairs or by preventing costly medical treatment for carbon monoxide or allergens and pollutants in your home. The bottom line is that all the reasons for maintenance will improve your bottom line. The small investment in regular HVAC maintenance is well worth the savings you find in other areas of maintenance, repair, and utility costs.
