HVAC Preventive Maintenance is Essential – Seven Key Reasons Why:
- Save Money: Regular HVAC maintenance can reduce the risk of costly breakdowns by as much as 95%.
- Cut Energy Bills: Preventive maintenance helps ensure that your HVAC system runs at close to peak efficiency. This can mean savings of up to 30% on your energy bill according to the U.S. Department of Energy.
- Extend System Life: Regular maintenance extends the life of your system, reducing the likelihood that you’ll need to spend big bucks on an HVAC installation soon.
- Stay Covered Under warranty: It’s important to be aware that most HVAC manufacturers require proof of annual maintenance when a repair claim is submitted under warranty.
- Improve Your Air Quality: The EPA reports that indoor levels of airborne pollutants may be 2-5 times higher (in extreme cases more than 100 times higher) than outdoor levels. Common indoor allergens range from ordinary household dust to pet dander, dust mites, cigarette smoke, pollen and mold that can lead to dozens of respiratory issues.
- Improve Your Comfort: You depend on your HVAC system to keep you comfortable year-round. Regular maintenance helps your system produce and distribute air more evenly and steadily.
- Keep Your Home Safer: If you’re away from home and your heat stops working during a cold snap or one of those polar vortexes we’ve been hearing about lately, the result can be a domino effect of frozen or burst pipes, water damage, and worse. Preventive maintenance also helps safeguard you and your family against the risk of carbon monoxide – the colorless, odorless gas whose effects can be deadly. According to the Centers for Disease Control, exposure to even low levels of carbon monoxide can cause serious health issues.
