5 Rewarding Benefits of Preventive HVAC Maintenance

Published December 3rd, 2021 by Earth Friendly Air Duct Cleaning

Do you fear the day that your HVAC system needs to be replaced? Are you constantly paranoid that your furnace or AC unit will need a drastic repair just when you need them most? If so, then you need to learn all that you can about preventive HVAC maintenance. 

Doing so can help you maximize the ROI on your entire system. Your HVAC system will have a longer lifespan, require fewer repairs, and ensure that your system works during the extreme months.

See below for an in-depth guide on the many rewarding benefits you'll receive with preventative heating and cooling maintenance.

1. Comfort All Year Long

For those of you that aren't sure what the initials stand for, HVAC is an abbreviation for "Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning". As all Colorado Springs residents know, those three things are at a premium throughout the entire year.

When the snow starts to fall, you want to make sure your furnace is equal to the challenge. When the dry heat of summer rolls in, it would behoove you to ensure that your AC can keep you and your family comfortable.

Many homeowners go through the year worried about when they'll experience an HVAC issue. They cross their fingers and pray that it doesn't happen in the dead heat of summer or the brutal cold of winter.

But here's a question: what if you could prevent it from happening in the first place? What if, instead of frantically scheduling an emergency repair and arranging a temporary place to stay, you could stay comfortable in your own house all year long?

With preventive HVAC maintenance, that dream becomes a reality! Our team will come out and perform a tune-up to your system that guarantees it works when you need it most. We generally recommend scheduling preventative maintenance twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall to prepare for the summer and winter respectively.

2. Improved Air Quality

You wouldn't believe how poor the air quality is in some of the houses we visit. But before you start shaking your head at them, when was the last time you had your air quality checked?

It's easy to forget about your air quality with all the other tasks and repairs that a Colorado Springs property requires. The fact remains that living with poor air quality can sabotage the health of your entire family. Breathing bad air can cause such risks as:

  • Respiratory illnesses
  • Heart problems
  • Weaker immune systems
  • Dry throats
  • Chronic headaches
  • Lung damage
  • Asthma to develop

With preventative HVAC maintenance, you can make sure that these risks never enter your home. We will clean out your system and get you a brand new air filter after every visit. This will help your system prevent allergens, dirt, and other airborne pathogens from recirculating in your house.

Some of this falls on your plate as well. it's important to switch out your air filters each month for the best air quality possible. Try to switch it out each month when you pay your rent/mortgage to develop a positive habit.

3. Cheaper Energy Bills

Say no more, right? If there is a way for you to gain access to lower energy bills, you're there! Well, giddy up, because preventative maintenance can help you do just that.

Since your HVAC system is used day-in and day-out, it's bound to gather up some dirt, dust, and germs. Things start to build up in the system and, as they do, the system has to work that much harder to compensate.

The harder the HVAC system has to work, the more energy it will require. The more energy than it requires, the higher that your energy bills will be.

Thankfully, preventative maintenance can buck this trend. We will clean out your HVAC system and ensure that it's working at its optimal levels. As a result, you could save hundreds of your energy bills over a year!

4. Peace of Mind

Few things are scarier than when your HVAC system goes out. Typically, the system is so good at working behind the scenes that you barely notice it. As a result, it could be hours before you realize the system has overheated.

With preventive HVAC maintenance, you'll never have to worry about this happening. We'll make sure that the system is prepared for the extreme weather ahead.

As a result, you can sleep easier at night knowing that your family will have the warmth they need to sleep soundly through winter nights.
