The Health of Your HVAC System Depends on Regular Maintenance

Your HVAC system gets a lot of action, especially during the spring and summer time. If you have central air, you’ve probably heard your HVAC system kick on and off many times throughout the day. It's constantly running to cool your home. Your HVAC system is critical to maintaining you and your family’s comfort. With that said, maintaining your HVAC system is extremely important. 

Many things can go wrong if your HVAC system is not serviced, all of which can lead to a completely fried unit. And although it may seem redundant, it isn’t. Having your unit serviced every 6 months will prevent issues from arising. Here are 3 reasons to call your local HVAC company to have your HVAC system serviced:

1. Save Energy 

HVAC systems and units need to be cleaned. Most importantly, the filters need to be wiped down or replaced in order to ensure they will work properly and provide fresh, cool air to your home. A spring tune up can get your air conditioning unit ready for the heat of the summer. Many people choose to have their units serviced right before the hot weather. A unit that has been recently cleaned with maintenance is going to function better without working harder, thus saving energy and money. 

2. Better, Safer Indoor Comfort

Air conditioning units work to cool your home by forcing cold air into rooms and hallways, which maintains a set temperature consistently. It’s important to be mindful of all the small particles that flow around your home, especially if your home has heavy dust build up or if you have pets. These particles get caught within the air ducts of your HVAC system and cause build up on the filters. It’s recommended that air conditioning unit filters be changed every 3 to 6 months. 

In addition, the air quality outside impacts the air quality inside of your home. This will also impact the build up on filters. If you live in a densely populated and developed area, changing the filters throughout your home is very important. Indoor air quality is an overlooked factor when it comes to your air conditioning unit. If an AC unit is not maintained properly it can actually harm the air quality within your home. So don’t wait, call a trusted HVAC company today to schedule an appointment!

3. Prolong the Life of the Unit

It’s well known that when we keep up on routine appointments for ourselves, our cars, our pets and so on, that they maintain a “healthy state”. Same goes for your HVAC system. Having your unit serviced every 3 to 6 months will help you maintain its good condition and avoid any breakdowns. 

Your air conditioning unit is so important and so is your health. Maintaining your HVAC system will save energy and reduce costs. It will also improve the air quality within your home with fresh new filters and a thorough cleaning. And lastly, having your air conditioning unit serviced routinely will extend its life, thus stretching your investment for years to come.
