I’m very conscientious about having the oil and filter changed in my car.
I have the tires rotated and keep up with all of the necessary service.
I’m hoping to avoid costly and aggravating breakdowns. I’d like my car to last as long as possible, and provide maximum return from my investment. Plus, timely, professional service fulfills the requirements of the warranty coverage. Until recently, I didn’t realize that all of that applies to my forced air furnace and central cooling system as well. By investing in annual HVAC maintenance with a licensed contractor, I save money. This yearly upkeep helps to prevent costly malfunction, reduce energy bills, extend the life of the system, and meet manufacturer’s warranty obligations. The service is not all that expensive and most definitely pays for itself. According to what I’ve read, HVAC maintenance reduces the risk of system failure by up to 95%. Regular adjustment, cleaning and inspection ensures that the heating and cooling units run a peak efficiency. According to the US Department of Energy, it adds up to a savings of approximately 30% on energy bills. When the technician looks over the system, he checks for and resolves minor issues. He replaces any broken parts, tightens loose wires and removes the harmful buildup of debris. The air my family breathes isn’t contaminated by a dirty furnace or air conditioner. The EPA suggests that indoor air is typically two to five times more polluted than outdoor levels. Most people spend 90% of their time indoors. If there’s dust, pollen, bacteria, mold and other disgusting stuff hidden inside the furnace, air conditioner or ductwork, it gets spread throughout the house and can lead to health problems. By having the HVAC system properly serviced, I enjoyed peace of mind.
