How to Extend the Lifespan of Your HVAC System

Prevent Costly Breakdowns

Regular HVAC maintenance is said to reduce the risk of costly breakdowns by as much as 95%.

Reduce Energy Bills

Preventive maintenance helps ensure that your HVAC system runs at close to peak efficiency. This can mean savings of up to 30% on your energy bill, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.

Extend the Life of Your System

Regular maintenance extends the life of your system, reducing the likelihood that you’ll need to spend big bucks on an HVAC installation soon. It’s sort of like how annual checkups can help us humans live longer, except your HVAC doctor makes house calls.

Protect Equipment Warranty

Most HVAC manufacturers require proof of annual maintenance when a repair claim is submitted under warranty. Some of the components that make your HVAC system work are fairly expensive, so investing in annual maintenance to keep them covered under your warranty is the smartest option.

The EPA reports that indoor levels of airborne pollutants may be 2-5 times higher (in extreme cases more than 100 times higher) than outdoor levels. This is particularly significant if you or any family members suffer from respiratory issues such as asthma.

Generally speaking, preventive maintenance helps ensure that the warm or cold air pumping through your vents is as clean and well-filtered as possible.

You depend on your HVAC system to keep you comfortable year round. Regular maintenance helps your system produce and distribute the warm or cool air more evenly and steadily. It also reduces the odds that you’ll come home from work one winter’s day to find frigid air blasting through your vents.

Regular maintenance will also minimize the chances that HVAC noises or smells will disrupt your quality of life.

You’ve heard the horror stories. Someone you know went away during the holidays and returned to find a frozen, severely damaged house. The cost of repairs in this situation can be incredibly steep.

Preventive HVAC maintenance also helps safeguard you and your family against the risk of carbon monoxide – the colorless, odorless gas whose effects can be deadly. An HVAC maintenance checkup typically includes a carbon monoxide test that would detect any potential hazard.

Your HVAC contractor can also talk to you about the benefits of using a programmable thermostat or switching from oil heat to natural gas so you can reduce your system’s impact on the environment.
