One of the best things you can do for your home is to ensure your HVAC system is properly maintained. While routine checkups are helpful, you can take an even more proactive step by investing in a planned maintenance program with a qualified air conditioner repair company. The commercial and residential professionals at Duncklee Cooling & Heating have served clients in southeastern Connecticut and Rhode Island for years. Below, they share three reasons why planned maintenance is such a smart choice.

Why Planned HVAC Maintenance Is Helpful

1. Increases the Life Span

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the life span of a typical air conditioner is approximately 15 to 20 years. Why not do everything you can to make sure it lasts as long as possible? Technicians who conduct planned maintenance can prevent large problems from occurring, replace parts as needed, and stay on top of your unit’s functionality. Consider it the equivalent of a physical that helps your HVAC system stay healthy.

2. Saves You Money

Subscribing to a maintenance plan is far more cost-effective than calling in the air conditioner repair professionals when there’s an emergency. If a major problem arises, you may be in for some costly repairs, or even a complete replacement. Planned maintenance technicians can detect those problems before they become severe issues.

3. Improves Energy Efficiency

Regularly maintained units don’t have to work overtime to heat or cool your home either. This is a problem for many neglected air conditioners and furnaces, which requires everything from regular filter changes to basic inspections. Without these services, the unit inevitably suffers. Routine maintenance plans ensure that your unit doesn’t expend unnecessary energy and drive up your bills.
