Is annual HVAC maintenance necessary for your system? Yes! In fact, for the best performance, you should get it checked every six months. The best times are spring and fall, just before the hot and cold seasons.
If you don’t need annual air conditioning maintenance, you’ll need to be prepared to pay higher energy bills and more in repairs and eventual replacement. However, with regular HVAC maintenance, your system can last decades!
Annual Maintenance Reduces Bills
Cleaning is a big part of annual maintenance, and there’s a good reason. HVAC systems pull air through condensers, blowers, and vents to cool and heat your home. This airflow also brings a lot of dust along with it.
By having one of our techs clean off the dust, your HVAC system won’t have to work as hard. This means it needs less energy, so your electric bill will be lower. Leave it dirty over time, and your energy costs will keep rising!
For environmentally conscious people, annual HVAC maintenance—or even twice-yearly maintenance—will help keep your unit running as efficiently as possible and reduce your carbon footprint.
Annual Maintenance Extends Your Unit’s Life
Unmaintained HVAC systems have to work harder to do their job, and that does more than raise energy bills. It also reduces their lifespans. Most central air conditioners last from 10 to 15 years, according to Consumer Reports.
Regular maintenance can extend the life of your unit. It can give your system years or even a decade more life before you need to replace it. It’s worth the investment each year to get your unit cleaned and inspected by our professionals compared to the costs of replacing it when something breaks.
Catch HVAC Problems Before They Get Big
Cleaning and inspecting your unit are part of our maintenance plan, but some things can go wrong besides dirt. Maintenance also includes fixing electrical connections, greasing moving parts, and checking condensate lines for clogs.
When these break down, you start seeing some serious issues. Your home might get too humid, or your energy bill might spike. Sometimes, a faulty electrical connection can cause an air conditioner fire!
You can catch these issues before they get huge and expensive by hiring a technician to perform annual maintenance on your HVAC system. Of course, if you’re willing to take risks, you can skip on the maintenance. You’ll pay much more when the system breaks down one day.
