When spring rolls around, the season also brings a lot of pollen and dust with it—allergens that can easily find their way into your home. Making sure your air conditioning system is running efficiently is your best line of defense against the inconvenience of allergies, heat, and increased utility costs. And since spring is the most productive season for allergens, it’s also the best time to schedule HVAC maintenance.

5 Reasons Your HVAC System Needs a Spring Tuneup

1. Help With Your Allergies

Particles can sneak past your air conditioner’s filters and settle on the interior parts, populating your indoor air with harmful bacteria and allergens. During routine HVAC maintenance, licensed technicians will clean or change your unit’s filters and then inspect and clean other components as well.

2. Improve the Efficiency of Your Unit

Routine inspections and cleanings help keep your HVAC system running at its best. Equipment loses efficiency when it becomes cluttered with dust, dirt, and other debris, causing the system to work harder to heat, cool, and filter air.

3. Keep Your Utility Costs Lower

Half the energy used in a home comes from heating and cooling equipment. When units run efficiently, they draw less energy, which in turn keeps utility costs down. 

4. Prevent Unnecessary Repairs

Summer is the worst time to experience a breakdown. Not only can it be very hot, but it’s also one of the busiest times for HVAC companies. You might wait days for a technician to become available should you need an emergency repair. 

5. Your System Will Last Longer

HVAC systems are like vehicles: They need routine maintenance to continue working properly. By scheduling your HVAC maintenance this spring, you’ll extend your air conditioning system’s life and avoid an unnecessary replacement.
