HVAC 101: All About Maintenance

You’ve heard it before, but do you really know what it means? HVAC Maintenance is not only the most talked-about topic in the world of heating and air, but also the most critical. No other servicing opportunity can prevent problems, increase efficiency, and save you money in the same way. Because they mean so much to your HVAC’s health, it’s important to know how maintenance works, and what to look for in a quality service visit.

1.What happens during a maintenance visit?

Maintenance visits can vary based on the provider, but most should involve the same basic routines. Your service tech should do a thorough check of your HVAC unit, paying special attention to parts that work hard and take a lot of wear. Anything that looks questionable should be inspected more closely and potentially replaced before they break. Filters and condenser coils should also be examined for build up and cleaned to improve airflow and efficiency.

2.What does increased efficiency do for me?

Efficiency=Savings. If nothing else motivates you to have your system maintained, let it be the fact that routine maintenance over the life of your HVAC can save you up to 40% on your energy bills! A simple way to think about it is this: a more efficient machine will do the same work but with less effort. Effort = Energy, and Energy cost Money! You’ll be using less energy and saving the planet, while also saving money on energy costs and in prevented repairs.
