HEATING MAINTENANCE & AIR CONDITIONING MAINTENANCE

Maintenance is important

Because air conditioning and heating systems are among the most expensive components in any home, routine maintenance and enhancements are key to prolonging the life and increasing the efficiency of your equipment, as these systems degrade at a rate of 1% to 3% per year.

Dirt and neglect are the #1 causes of heating and cooling system failure,” according to Energy Star, a division of the EPA.

Heating and cooling systems, like cars, require regular tune-ups to avoid breakdowns and prevent costly repairs. HVAC systems require maintenance check-ups twice a year: 1) in the fall before you use your heating system and 2) in the spring before you begin or increase use of your air conditioner.

Regular check-ups help to ensure that systems are performing efficiently and that the comfort level of your home or office is optimum. They also extend equipment life, increase cost effectiveness, and ensure that systems are operating safely. More great reasons for annual check-ups for your heating and cooling systems:

• Research reveals proper maintenance of heating and cooling systems can reduce energy bills by up to 20%!!
• Check-ups help to ensure that central heating and air conditioning deliver the temperatures we want a variety of conditions and to deliver it consistently – all day long. Systems last longer when well maintained
• Neglected air conditioners lose approximately 5% their efficiency each year that they operate without upkeep
• Unmaintained systems can create fire and other serious health hazards from electrical shorts to carbon monoxide leaks or open flames in your home.
