When it comes to maintaining your home, the “To-Do” lists can seem awfully long. To help ensure your HVAC system is running as smoothly and efficiently as possible, you probably know the basics such as changing the air filter every 1-3 months and scheduling routine maintenance with our team.
Because we believe HVAC maintenance in Rochester is so essential for your home’s systems, we offer an easy way to make scheduling routine maintenance as simple as possible. Join our Maintenance Plan today for as little as $10/month! Here are some of the benefits that regular HVAC maintenance offers and when these services should be scheduled.
Enhanced Efficiency
Thoroughly cleaning the HVAC system is one of the main tasks completed during a maintenance visit from our team. Dust, dirt, and debris can accumulate over time, leading to clogged filters, sticky parts, obstructed airflow, and decreased performance. We’ll also check your systems to make sure they are running at peak efficiency which means you can enjoy lower utility costs throughout the year.
System Longevity
HVAC systems are costly investments, and the last thing any homeowner wants is to have to replace a system before it should be necessary. In fact, the 10-15 year lifespan for furnaces, AC systems, and heat pumps only applies to systems that have received regular maintenance. Make sure you protect your investment by helping it last for as long as possible. Routine maintenance reduces the strain on the system, preventing early wear and tear.
Prevent Repair Needs
Regular maintenance can help us identify issues before they become significant problems. Our technicians will perform a thorough inspection of your HVAC system, giving them a chance to detect failing parts, loose screws, or other signs of wear and tear that, if left unattended, could lead to costly repairs or system failures. Addressing these issues early on can help prevent an untimely repair need.
Boost Performance
You pay a lot in the winter and summer for your utilities. Wouldn’t it be nice to know that you’re not overpaying for utilities? Routine HVAC maintenance easily pays for itself when you consider the cost savings when it comes to utilities.
Maintenance ensures that all components of the HVAC system are working as efficiently as they possibly can. When your HVAC systems are running efficiently, they’re using the least amount of energy, and that translates to money savings.
