If you haven’t had your heating and cooling system checked in a while, you may be wondering when it’ll need a checkup next. As a rule of thumb, it’s sensible to have your system serviced at least once a year. The technician will keep your HVAC running smoothly and catch faults before they become major issues. Below are three ways you’ll benefit from this routine upkeep.

3 Reasons to Invest in Heating & Cooling Maintenance

1. Longevity

A well-maintained heating and cooling system can last for decades. However, dusty ductwork or a clogged condenser could force your system to work harder than necessary, shortening its lifespan. Not only will HVAC maintenance lower your energy bills; you’ll also extend the value of your current heating and cooling system.

2. Efficiency

From clogged coils to leaky ductwork, there are dozens of ways you can lose energy efficiency throughout your home. Many of these inefficiencies are hard to spot for the untrained eye. HVAC professionals know where you’re most likely to lose energy, and they can pinpoint inefficiencies in your equipment and home far more quickly and efficiently.

3. Stability

In the heat of summer, the last thing you want is an air conditioner that’s on the fritz. The same goes for the winter — a broken furnace in the coldest months could make your home unlivable until it’s fixed. To ensure steady operation through every season, routine maintenance is your best bet. A technician can replace aging parts, adjust the system, and notice potential problems long before you would catch them.
