Your HVAC system helps keep your family comfortable throughout the changing seasons. Besides heating and cooling rooms, it also helps maintain your indoor air quality by taking dust, dirt, and allergens out of circulation. Over time, your unit will experience wear and tear—but preventive maintenance can help bolster its life span. Here’s what you should do to keep it running as well as possible. 

Why Perform HVAC Maintenance Regularly? 

1. Better Performance

From the first time your HVAC system is turned on, it begins experiencing wear. Lubricated parts become dry and debris accumulates in the system, causing the unit will be forced to work harder to perform the same job. Bi-annual maintenance from a professional will ensure that the parts move against each other smoothly and that the filters are changed to avoid build-up.

2. Fewer Repairs

When the contractor comes by to perform this maintenance, they will also catch minor issues before they can turn into big problems. This will prevent breakdowns in the future, which might otherwise have occurred at an inconvenient time—like while you’re readying your home for holiday guests.

3. Saves Money

If your system is working harder to do its job due to clogs or worn parts, it uses more energy, raising your electric bill. Therefore, think of preventative maintenance as having a high return on investment. You’ll also avoid the cost of unexpected repairs by being proactive.
