It may surprise you that most people don’t have anyone inspect their HVAC system until something goes wrong. Maybe it doesn’t surprise you because this is exactly how most homeowners treat their heating and cooling. Unfortunately, this maintenance-free approach to central heat and air often leads to inefficiency, costly repairs, and more expensive energy bills. If you’re ready to get the most out of your HVAC system, ABC’s Preferred System Plan can help.
Catch Problems Before They Occur
Can you imagine only performing car maintenance when the check engine light comes on? Most people understand the importance of regular inspections and oil changes. However, they fail to see that their home’s heating and cooling system needs the same attention. Changing the filters regularly is essential, but it isn’t the whole ball of wax. By getting regular inspections, you can catch problems before they occur, meaning you won’t have to wait frantically for a repairman in the hot summer.
Save Money on Energy Bills
Over time, the components that make up your HVAC system get coated with dirt, dust, debris, and other detritus from the atmosphere. All of this makes it more difficult for your air conditioning to run in the most efficient manner possible. Due to collecting dirt on the coils, an air conditioner can lose as much as 5% of its efficiency yearly. That means you’re paying 5% more to get the same effect. With annual cleanings and inspections, you can retain your HVAC system’s efficiency more effectively.
Cheaper to Prevent Than Repair
An ounce of prevention, right? It’s true when it comes to your HVAC system. When a heater or air conditioner goes on the fritz, it can cost hundreds of dollars to fix. That’s if you’re lucky. If not, you may have to replace it altogether. While no amount of maintenance can keep your HVAC system running forever, it will make it more likely that you can catch a problem before it turns into something costly.
