Important Reasons Why You Should Have Your HVAC System Serviced

Your HVAC system contains some of the most costly and essential equipment in your home, so it makes good sense to keep it well cared for with regular professional maintenance. Ideally, you should schedule a cooling system service visit every spring, and a heating system checkup each fall. If you’re wondering if semi-annual preventive maintenance is really necessary, here are some of the reasons why it’s important to schedule HVAC system service appointments regularly.

• You’ll have peace of mind about reliably and safety: During routine HVAC maintenance, your technician performs a variety of tasks to ensure that your equipment stays working reliably and safely throughout the heating and cooling seasons when it’s under the heaviest workload. A service visit is also an opportunity to identify any minor issues while they’re easy and less costly to fix, which helps you avoid more expensive repairs in the future.
• You’ll pay lower energy bills: If it’s not inspected regularly, your HVAC system’s efficiency can gradually erode due to dirty cooling coils, low refrigerant levels, clogged air filters, low furnace gas pressure, poor combustion efficiency and other issues. When these and other issues are addressed during twice-yearly maintenance, your heating and cooling equipment is able to run at maximum efficiency, and you’ll save on energy and operating costs.
• You’ll enjoy a more comfortable home: A clean, well-maintained air conditioner, heat pump or furnace can provide ample airflow and more effective temperature and humidity control, so that it’s easier to keep your home comfortable whether it’s heating or cooling season.
• Your HVAC equipment is less likely to fail prematurely: Your HVAC system components are just like any other type of mechanical equipment; they not only perform better but they last longer when they’re well maintained. With regular preventive care, your equipment should meet, or even exceed, its expected service life.
