Regular preventative maintenance is very important to the overall health of your heating and cooling system. Something as simple as replacing air filters can increase airflow, thereby increasing the efficiency of your entire heating and cooling system.
Most heating and air experts recommend that you have all air conditioning systems inspected at least twice a year. You should normally have your cooling system inspected in the spring before you begin using it, and your heating system in the fall before you turn it on for the first time. As a rule, you should try to identify any problems early on, rather than in the middle of the hot or cold season.
Safety is also an important consideration when it comes to preventative maintenance. In the fall, your HVAC technician will adjust the burners in your furnace. This helps to reduce combustion gas emissions, keeping your family safe.
Your yearly preventative maintenance will:
- Protect you and your family
- Increase your comfort
- Save you energy and money
- Lower your chances of an expensive breakdown at the worst moment possible
