Estimated Reading time: 2.5 minutes
There are many reasons why regular inspection and service is important for Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems. One reason is because it can help you avoid expensive HVAC repairs that might otherwise be caused from neglect. Professional HVAC inspection makes sure your system will function properly before it gets too hot or cold outside. Inspecting HVAC equipment also may pin-point any potential leaks in the system.
HVAC manufacturers also have warranty reasons to have professional HVAC inspection and service for their heating and air conditioning systems. Our HVAC technicians will also inspect the water heater and can offer Indoor Air Quality analysis if desired.
Having Regular HVAC Service, inspection and tuning ensures:
☑ Safety
Improperly operating furnaces could release carbon monoxide into your home. Carbon monoxide inhalation can cause headaches, weakness, confusion and in worse cases; death.
☑ Efficiency
Inspection and cleaning can keep your system running energy efficient. Annual checkup by professionals means ensuring that no energy is wasted or causing fluctuating temperatures. Upgrades like programmable thermostats can also save energy and money.
☑ Longevity
Well-maintained furnaces and air conditioners don’t have to work as hard. Your furnace will last longer when you take care of it, saving you money on repairs.
☑ Reliability
Make sure your units are running when you need it most. Keep your home comfort secure on the hottest days of summer, or the coldest days of winter.
To summarize; having regular HVAC service, inspection and tuning ensures:
Your system runs smoothly
Helps keep energy costs low by maintaining efficiency
Comfortable temperatures inside your home or office
One way you can help maintain your system without a professional is to regularly replace the air filters in your system (we recommend once a month if possible). Dirty air filters reduce the airflow capabilities of the HVAC system and cause it to work harder than it should.
If you never had your furnace or air conditioner professionally inspected and tuned before, consider the following:
Your system not heating or cooling the home as it normally would
You moved into a new home
Your furnace or air conditioner over 10 years old
Your utility bill become higher than usual in the past few months
Some rooms colder or warmer than others
Your furnace or air conditioner making strange noises
You notice more dust than usual in your home
If any of the above reasons are true, consider having a professional inspect and tune your furnace or air conditioner. Get an inspection report on your heating and cooling system because properly maintained equipment protects you from unexpected problems.
