“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”, right? Sure, that might be true in theory, but in real life AC System Maintenance a little preventive maintenance can go a long way.
Take your air conditioning system, for example. You may wonder what’s the point of having it looked at when everything seems to be working up to par. Well, how about for the same reason you change the oil and rotate the tires on a car, faithfully go to the dentist every six months, and get your annual physical?
Here are just a few of the useful benefits of an annual HVAC inspection.
Peace of Mind
An annual inspection performed by a qualified technician can uncover potential problems that could result in costly emergency repairs. It also allows you to budget for eventual repairs or system replacement so you don’t find yourself shelling out big bucks that you don’t already have on hand. What’s more, regular maintenance helps extend the lifespan of an HVAC system and prevents premature system failure.
Lower Utility Costs
Cooling (or heating) a home doesn’t come cheap. In fact, it’s often one of the biggest monthly expenses a homeowner can face. With an annual system inspection and cleaning, AC systems run more efficiently, and that translates into lower cooling costs.
Improved Indoor Air Quality
Believe it or not, the air inside your home is probably at least twice as polluted than the air you breathe outdoors. By routinely cleaning or replacing your AC filter, you can help keep dust, allergens, and mold spores from invading your living spaces and your lungs.
Keeps Warranties Active
Many HVAC system manufacturers require that you comply with certain standards – including annual system maintenance – to keep your warranty active. It would be a shame to have an otherwise costly repair go uncovered from the simple lack of scheduling preventive maintenance.
While spring may be the ideal time for AC preventive maintenance, mid-summer and fall work just fine, too. So, if it’s been a year or longer since you’ve had your system cleaned and inspected, contact the HVAC pros at Eagle Service Company today.
