Your HVAC system is made up of the most costly and important equipment in your home. Taking a proactive approach to preventive HVAC maintenance rather than waiting until problems develop is essential to keep your system running at an optimal level.
What is Preventative Maintenance?
Preventive maintenance not only includes routine cleanings and tune ups, but it also provides comprehensive care that covers:
- Inspecting all system components for functionality and wear.
- Assessing efficiency in all operation modes, including heating, cooling, ventilation and zoning.
- Identifying emerging problems so they can be addressed before they escalate.
- Offering expert advice about fixing deficiencies and improving overall performance.
Benefits of Preventive HVAC Maintenance
Investing in planned preventive maintenance can help you avoid high operating costs, unexpected breakdowns, premature component replacements and serious safety hazards. It also gives you peace of mind that your HVAC equipment is up to the challenge of keeping your home comfortable throughout the heating and cooling seasons. Here’s a closer look at some of the benefits you’ll enjoy:
- Better efficiency – HVAC equipment that’s neglected loses up to five percent of its original energy efficiency each year. Routine care can keep your equipment running at maximum efficiency throughout its service life.
- Fewer big repair bills – While it’s not possible to avoid repairs entirely, catching emerging issues early and fixing them before they develop further can keep the cost of repairs to a minimum.
- Safer operation – When mechanical components and system controls are thoroughly inspected and properly maintained, there’s less risk of fires and exposure to backdrafting combustion fumes containing deadly carbon monoxide
- Longer equipment life – Timely preventive care can keep your HVAC system components running reliably so they can reach or exceed their expected lifespan.
- Greater comfort – Preventive maintenance enhances HVAC system efficiency, reliability and performance, and this translates into better temperature and humidity control and a more comfortable living environment.
- Energy savings – Well-maintained HVAC equipment uses less energy, so you’ll see lower heating and cooling bills.
