Trusting your heating and cooling needs to a qualified HVAC contractor will save you both time and money over the long run. Your HVAC system requires periodic maintenance to ensure that it is working as efficiently as possible for as long as possible. And the only way to ensure that this maintenance is done properly is to enlist the help of a HVAC professional.
But how can you weed through the list of HVAC companies to find the right one? Well, knowing a little more about your system and its needs is a great place to start. So we have provided you with several HVAC system facts, tips and suggestions to help you better understand the ins and outs of your HVAC unit.
Timely repairs: Call a professional as soon as you notice something going wrong. Running your system when something is not working properly can help to turn a small problem into a large one.
Regularly change air filters: Air filters need to be replaced or cleaned anywhere from twice a month to once a year, depending on the quality of the filter you use and the quality of air being filtered.
Ask for an electronic programmable thermostat: The timer helps save unnecessary wear and tear on your heating and cooling system. Plus is saves energy, which means you save money!
The older the system, the more frequent the repairs: As A/C and heating systems get older, they usually require more service calls. So have your system inspected by a professional before the start of winter and summer (when your system works its hardest).
Annual Maintenance Agreements: Maintenance includes cleaning and adjustments that cause your HVAC system to run more efficiently. This lowers your monthly cooling and heating energy costs. And with regular maintenance, you are less likely to have to pay substantial amounts of money on large repairs.
Repairs vs. replacing: When does it make sense to just buy a new system? The best solution is to ask your HVAC contractor. Have a technician come out and give you a quote for repairs and for replacement. See what makes the most sense financially.
Out with the old…: With recent improvements in energy efficiency, if your unit if more than 10 years old it may be more cost effective just to replace it now.
It keeps going and going: With proper maintenance, your HVAC system can last up to 20 years or more.
The “whole house” approach: There are ways to improve the efficiency of your HVAC system that do not have anything to directly do with your unit. Making your whole home more energy efficient will result in your HVAC unit working less to keep your house at a comfortable temperature.
