Your HVAC system plays the integral role of heating and cooling your home throughout the changing seasons. However, like any appliance, it's bound to break down eventually, leaving you without comfortable air. To avoid this scenario, learn more about why preventative maintenance is essential and schedule an appointment with a professional technician today.

Why You Need Regular Heating & Cooling Maintenance

1. Purify the Air

Over time, your air filters and ductwork will become contaminated by dirt, dust, and pollen. In addition to causing unpleasant odors, these particles may result in allergy flareups and asthma attacks. Replacing the filter once per month and scheduling annual duct cleaning will improve your indoor air, allowing your family and guests to breathe easy.

2. Save Money

When your heating and cooling system has a broken belt, becomes saturated with debris, or starts getting worn down, it'll run inefficiently and pull more power. This will also create more waste, as your system will need to burn more fuel to continue operating. Prevent high energy expenses and reduce your carbon footprint by hiring a professional contractor to perform preventative maintenance and take care of necessary repairs.

3. Preserve Your System’s Lifespan

With proper care, an average heating and cooling system will last anywhere from 15 to 25 years. Protect your investment and get the most out of your HVAC by allowing a contractor to inspect the wiring, clean out the unit, recalibrate the thermostat, and lubricate the mechanical components.
