Seasonal HVAC Maintenance Helps Extend System Life
The average lifespan of an HVAC system lands between 12-17 years for central air conditioning systems and 15-20 years for furnaces. This wide variation can depend on how well the equipment is maintained. If you want to get the most years out of your heating and cooling systems in Brown Summit, NC, seasonal HVAC maintenance is a must—and here’s why.
Catch Problems Early
Like anything mechanical, the sooner you identify a problem, the faster and cheaper it is to repair. Seasonal HVAC maintenance extends the life of your heating and cooling systems by keeping them cleaner and adjusted for the best performance. While it’s important to check your system’s filter regularly and change as necessary, there’s more to maintaining your equipment.
A qualified service technician will replace necessary parts, clean outdoor air conditioning components and perform a comprehensive multi-point inspection.
Reduce Wear and Tear
When your heating and cooling equipment operate well, they use less energy and endure less wear and tear. The more strain a system receives, the more likely it is to break down and need frequent repairs. Eventually, the repair costs exceed the cost of the new unit, or the system stops working completely, causing the purchase of a new system. A well-maintained system is more likely to reach the higher end of the expected lifespan and get there with fewer problems.
How Often Is Seasonal HVAC Maintenance Needed?
You want to schedule a maintenance check twice a year. Once in spring to check the air conditioning equipment and once in the fall to inspect the heating equipment. This maintenance schedule helps give you peace of mind that when you turn your HVAC equipment on at the start of a heating or cooling system, you will know all systems are a go.
