Benefits of Annual HVAC Maintenance

Most companies require their employees to undergo annual physical examinations. The exam allows the employees to pay more attention to their health and talk to a medical professional about any ongoing pain or symptoms. This gives them the chance to determine the health of an individual and detect potential issues before they begin to affect their productivity.

The same happens when you give your HVAC system the care it deserves at least once per year. Annual HVAC maintenance gives you the ability to check the overall health of your home comfort system, ensure it stays in great shape, and eliminate possible discomfort and unnecessary stress.

Here are some of the perks of having your HVAC system maintained annually.

In-depth Cleaning

Maintaining your HVAC system is more than just changing the filters, which is a task nearly anyone can perform. However, keeping your HVAC system in great shape also involves other assignments such as cleaning the inside of the system, certain lubricating parts, performing electrical and safety check-ups, among others. Only a qualified HVAC professional can correctly perform such activities. DIY-ing may not be a wise move since there are components that require training and knowledge to manage.

Energy Savings

One of the main reasons why your high energy costs is a dirty heating system that works harder than usual to reach your desired temperatures. This added strain on your unit results in added energy consumption. When you schedule an appointment for professional maintenance, the technician will perform several critical operations, such as calibration of your thermostat, airflow testing, electrical inspection, duct inspection, lubrication of moving parts, tightening of loose connections, filter management, and system control testing. All of these operations will allow your HVAC system to work effortlessly and efficiently, saving you a considerable amount of cash per year.

Operational Safety

Your HVAC systems have electrical connections that need to be checked periodically. In case of faulty wiring or loose connections, running your unit can cause an electrical fire that not only can damage your HVAC system but can also put your life at risk.

Also, operating a faulty gas-fired furnace can be dangerous, i.e., the release of carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless, fatal gas. During a preventive maintenance check-up, the HVAC professional will inspect all connections (electrical, mechanical, gas, burner, heat exchanger) and make sure everything works properly and safely.

Fewer Repairs

Dealing with a malfunctioning HVAC system, especially during peak season, can be quite overwhelming. And units that do not undergo routine checkups are usually the ones acting up.

Checking your furnace or heat pump on a regular basis minimizes the chances of equipment failure and the need for repairs because the technician will catch them before they even take place. For example, hearing an unusual sound coming from your unit and calling a service professional can catch the problem before it even starts, saving you money in the process.

Warranty Coverage

Some homeowners fail to consider the warranty on their HVAC systems when they buy a new HVAC system. But the warranty is one of the most essential reasons you should look into it. Most manufacturers demand proof of annual maintenance when a repair claim is submitted under warranty. Some parts are costly to repair or replace, such as the compressor in an air conditioner or the heat exchanger in a furnace.

Manufacturer warranties only cover parts, and this is only honored if an authorized HVAC company declares that manufacturer defect is the cause of the problem. Parts replacement and labor can be costly, and if your unit is not covered, you will have to pay for the repair expenses.

Therefore, investing in a yearly preventive maintenance program will keep your unit under warranty. This step can save you from potentially costly repair work or a part replacement job.
