After a long summer, we’re in the throes of fall here in Havertown and Springfield, PA. That makes an ideal time to schedule an HVAC maintenance session: treating your air conditioner which is getting ready to sit idle for a few months and your heater which will soon be called upon to keep your house warm every day. It can be hard to see the advantages of spending money on maintenance, especially if your system appears to be firing on all cylinders. In truth, however, the benefits of regular maintenance far outweigh the costs. Here’s a few factors to consider.
Your System will Be More Efficient and Last Longer
The more efficient your system is, the less it costs to run from month to month, and the more you’ll save on monthly energy costs. It doesn’t take a big repair to disrupt that efficiency: many HVAC systems die the death of a thousand cuts as loose bolts, clogged filters and similar issues force them to use more energy to do their jobs. A maintenance session will cut down on all of that, allowing your system to function at its peak all year. The same principle applies to overall wear and tear, which will eventually force you to replace your HVAC system. When applied over time, regular maintenance sessions can add a great deal to the lifespan of your heater and air conditioner.
You can Spot Potential Repairs Early
Signs of damage and big repair issues usually arrive fairly early, before they cause any real damage. A maintenance session gives your technician the ideal opportunity to look for such damage and schedule a second session to correct it. That usually means a swifter, easier and less expensive repair session: far preferable to fixing the problem after it has disrupted your service.
