Eliminate The Risks
We can start with the most important aspect- WE CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT AC IN TEXAS! As the temperatures soar into the high double digits and triple digits, all too often people suffer life threatening illnesses brought on by exposure to the extreme temperatures. Don't take unnecessary chances with the heat!
We all deserve the peace of mind, knowing that our cooling systems are up to the challenges of summer. A simple low cost maintenance check can spare you from mid summer breakdowns that can often lead to higher repair bills.
Increase The Lifespan of Your Air Conditioning Unit
Although the typical air conditioner can last more than a decade, regular servicing can extend its lifespan even longer.
While bad smells, limited air flow, warmer than usual air or a high energy bill are all tell-tale signs to immediately get a service, expensive breakdowns can occur without warning – underlining the importance of regular and preventative servicing. We all know that living in Texas with out a properly working AC can be brutal.
On the flip side, without regular servicing, your air conditioner may last fewer than 10 years - meaning you may be faced with spending thousands of dollars for a new air conditioning unit.
Improve The Indoor Air Quality
HVAC maintenance is critical in maintaining healthy indoor air quality. Clean air filters capture dirt, dust, pollen, smoke, and other airborne particles that can be considered irritants and prevent them from circulating in the home. Regular cleaning of coils, heat exchangers, and other components removes mold, mildew, and other bacteria and contaminants, ensuring cleaner and healthier indoor air for your family.
Warranty Compliance
Most HVAC equipment manufacturers want proof that your system was maintained regularly. Provide at least annual maintenance to your newer system to avoid the manufacturer rejecting your claim, in part or as a whole. Neglecting maintenance will void your warranty, leaving you responsible for the cost of repairs or replacements that would otherwise have been covered.
Improve Performance
Another significant benefit to HVAC system maintenance is that it can reduce your electricity and gas usage by as much as 30%, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. By changing out the air filters in your HVAC system, cleaning dust out of your ductwork and vents, and having the right amount of freon, you can start seeing improvements in your energy bills in the next billing cycle.
