This is Why You Should Invest in Preventive HVAC Maintenance

Preventive HVAC maintenance, done regularly by a qualified HVAC professional, is an important investment for a number of reasons. While it does require spending money and time on service calls, it pays off quite well in terms of home comfort, indoor air quality and safety, as well as helping to keep both short and long-term costs associated with your HVAC system in check.

How Preventive Maintenance Affects Comfort, Safety and Air Quality

Regular preventive maintenance ensures that your system is inspected, cleaned and lubricated as recommended by manufacturers, which ensures that it continues to function efficiently. A smoothly-running, efficient system helps to prevent home comfort issues such as poor humidity control or hot or cold spots in the home.

Good maintenance also keeps your system performing reliably throughout the coldest winter weather or the heat and humidity of summer. Regular system cleaning and air filter maintenance prevents indoor air quality issues, and if your system includes a gas or oil burning furnace, regular attention helps keep these appliances from becoming a fire hazard or emitting toxic fumes into your home.

Financial Benefits of Preventive HVAC Maintenance

Keeping your HVAC system in great shape can reduce its operating costs. A system that is well maintained uses less energy than a neglected one, which can yield significant savings on utility bills. Good maintenance can also mean lower repair costs over the life of your system and fewer breakdowns, since regular service calls makes catching small problems before they become larger, more expensive ones much more likely.

Well-maintained systems typically last longer than neglected ones, which means more years of use before facing the costs of installing a new system. Overall, investing in regular preventive HVAC maintenance can save you lot of time, hassles and money over the life span of your system.
