Your HVAC system works quietly in the background, keeping your home cool in the summer and warm through the long Ohio winter. While today’s furnaces and air conditioners are extremely reliable, they do require regular maintenance to keep operating at maximum efficiency. Here’s how regular HVAC tuneups can save money in the long run and prevent unpleasant, expensive surprises.

Why Every HVAC System Needs Regular Tuneups

1. Increase Efficiency

Over time, the belts and valves in your HVAC system can shift, which reduces efficiency and forces the equipment to work harder than necessary. During a tuneup, an HVAC technician will recalibrate the equipment, making minor adjustments to maximize the efficiency of the entire system.

2. Improve Indoor Air Quality

The air quality in your home can be five times worse than the air outside. Even if you change your filter every month, pollen, dirt, and debris can still find their way into the ducts. During an HVAC tuneup, the technician will also check the system for contaminants, clean the vents, and recommend clearing the ducts. Along with making your HVAC system more effective, regular cleaning removes contaminants that can cause asthma attacks, allergies, and other health problems.

3. Save Money

An efficient HVAC system not only keeps your home more comfortable but also prevents excessive wear and tear on vital components. In the long run, this means fewer breakdowns, less-frequent maintenance issues, and a longer useful life for your equipment. Annual tuneups could save thousands of dollars in unnecessary repairs and replacements.
