Keeping you and your family safe, warm, and comfortable this winter greatly depends on the care you show toward your home’s heating system. This is why experts recommend scheduling professional HVAC maintenance at least once a year. To get the furnace ready for winter, the technician will perform a number of inspections, tests, and adjustments. Everything the technician does strategically improves the efficiency of the heater.
1. Lower Heating Bills
Professional HVAC maintenance reduces the workload on the furnace, meaning it doesn’t use as much energy to heat your home. The technician will change the air filter, ensuring the heating system can operate with unrestricted airflow. By thoroughly inspecting all parts and changing out worn-out components, the technician adds even more efficiency to the system.
2. Fewer Repairs and Breakdowns
By replacing damaged and worn-out parts with new ones, professional HVAC maintenance keeps the system working effectively with fewer issues. You’ll notice the system requires fewer repairs because of its improved performance. This reduced need for repairs also means there is a smaller chance of the heater breaking down during the winter.
3. Better Indoor Air Quality
Regular winter HVAC maintenance ensures the air filter stays clean. This improves the heating system’s performance and leads to better indoor air quality. To maintain optimal air quality throughout the colder months, the technician will likely recommend replacing or cleaning the filter every four to six weeks.
4. Longer HVAC Lifespan
Professional HVAC maintenance during the winter allows the technician to spot worn-out parts before they turn into costly repairs. The technician will lubricate parts, tighten loose connections, and calibrate the thermostat, all of which extend the lifespan of the heater.
