The HVAC system in your Jacksonville, Florida, home works hard to maintain a comfortable indoor atmosphere in our hot, humid climate. When you installed your system, it was a significant investment. In order to protect your investment, HVAC maintenance is necessary.
Extend Lifespan
HVAC manufacturers estimate a lifespan of about 10 to 15 years for their equipment. However, this estimate assumes that the owner keeps up with regular maintenance.
Similar to your car, a heating and cooling system requires some basic upkeep to function properly. If you never change the oil in your vehicle, it will not last very long. Failing to keep up with necessary HVAC maintenance will have the same effect. The moving parts of the system function best when they are properly cleaned and maintained.
Improve Efficiency
Another major benefit of HVAC maintenance is improved efficiency. When you skip your annual tune-up, you will probably notice that your energy bills start increasing.
During HVAC maintenance, a service technician performs a full inspection of the system and provides light cleaning to remove dirt and dust that accumulate through normal use. This ensures efficient operation. As a result, you will spend less on monthly heating and cooling costs.
Reduce Repairs
An HVAC system that is properly maintained is less likely to experience a catastrophic breakdown. Your service technician will inspect the system every year and look for any areas of concern during the annual tune-up.
If anything is wrong in the furnace or air conditioner, the service technician can perform a repair right away instead of allowing the system to continue to run. For example, if a belt in the air conditioner is starting to fray, replacing it can prevent the belt from breaking and whipping around, which could cause further damage.
