The Advantages Of A Maintenance Plan For Your HVAC System
A maintenance plan for your HVAC system is a great investment for your home. The best way to take care of your heating and cooling system is to schedule annual maintenance. Most HVAC companies, including us here at Complete Comfort, have maintenance agreements that will help you save money while ensuring your system is well-maintained and taken care of.
I’ve been working in Southwest Virginia for about 15 years now, servicing, installing, and replacing HVAC systems. From heat pumps to furnaces and air conditioners, every system should be serviced at least once, sometimes even twice a year. Let me tell you, the difference between a well-maintained HVAC system and one that isn’t serviced for years is evident.
If you want to speak to us about a service plan for your HVAC system, give us a call at (276) 690-9222, or contact us online. Our specialists will be happy to answer any questions you may have, and get you scheduled for a service on your system.
Why Should You Have A Maintenance Plan?
A maintenance plan is designed to help you save money in the long run when it comes to HVAC service, maintenance, repairs, and general upkeep. You pay a yearly fee for your plan, which then gives you access to discounts and priority scheduling for service or repairs. Each company’s service plan is different, and you should make sure you know what you get when you sign up for a service plan.
If you are taking care of your HVAC system regularly anyway, it makes sense to have a service plan, especially with a family-owned and operated business like Complete Comfort. When you sign up for a service plan with us, we make sure that we get to know your HVAC system and your home’s needs. You aren’t seeing a new technician every single time, or running into automated answering services. We have people at the office to speak with, and we make sure that you have a knowledgeable technician you trust.
Why You Should Have Your HVAC System Serviced
It’s important to have your HVAC system serviced at least once a year, preferably before the season you need it. That means heating service in the fall/winter, cooling service in the spring/summer. Your HVAC system lasts for years, in most cases over a decade. Ensuring that your system is well-maintained is the best way to save money, stay comfortable, and make sure it lasts as long as it possibly can.
Some of the main reasons you should schedule professional HVAC service every year include:
Improved Energy Efficiency
During routine maintenance, your system is cleaned and inspected. We make sure that every part is working smoothly and properly. This helps the system stay energy efficient. If you go for years without maintenance, general wear and tear is going to reduce energy efficiency, driving up your energy bills and leading you to more problems.
Lower Energy Bills
As a result of a more energy-efficient HVAC system, your energy bills should maintain, or go down. When you improve your energy efficiency, it means using less energy to produce the same amount of comfort. If you are using less energy, you are spending less on energy bills!
Longer System Lifespan
Any mechanical system needs regular maintenance in order to last as long as it should. You wouldn’t expect your car to run for years without an oil change right? The same applies to your HVAC system. Whether you have a heat pump, furnace, or air conditioner, it should last for over 10 years as long as it’s properly maintained.
In some cases, we have even seen systems that last 20 years. These systems were very well taken care of. In the time that some homes change their systems twice, some homes only have to do it once over the same span of time. This can save thousands of dollars, and likely a lot of headaches over home comfort as well!
Improved Air Quality
When your HVAC system is serviced, the components of the system are cleaned, and your air filter is changed. This is going to help keep the air in your home clean. If the HVAC system is clean, and the air coming from it is clean, it’s going to lead to a cleaner, healthier breathing environment.
Reduced Chance Of Breakdowns
As part of the service, your system is cleaned and inspected. Your technician will look over all the parts, check the electrical connections, and ensure that everything is working properly and smoothly. This is why we call this “preventative maintenance”. It prevents problems from happening before they sneak up on you, and end up costing you more than it should for a repair!
Safe Operation
HVAC systems use electrical connections and heating elements. This means that they can be dangerous if they aren’t operating the way they should be. During a routine service, we inspect the system and make sure it’s operating safely. If you use a furnace that burns oil or gas, we make sure it’s venting properly, taking carbon monoxide and any other dangerous gases out of your home.
