Top Five Reasons You Should Join an HVAC Maintenance Program

You’re diligent about maintaining your car, right? You schedule regular oil changes, periodic inspections, and other maintenance as the auto manufacturer recommends. This, you know, helps keep your vehicle running in optimum condition and decreases the likelihood that you’ll break down on a Florida highway.

But do you give your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system the same level of regular, diligent care?

If the answer is no, the HVAC specialists at Tallahassee’s Air Control Heating and Cooling must ask, “Why not?” Don’t you want to keep your HVAC system running in peak condition and decrease the likelihood that your air conditioning might fail during the height of a Florida heat wave? If this alone doesn’t spur your interest in ensuring diligent HVAC maintenance, we’ve got some other factors you should consider. Here then, are the top five reasons you should join an AC maintenance program:

1. Lower Energy Bills

As with any machinery, component degradation and the build-up of grime compromises the efficiency of an HVAC system. This forces it to operate longer and harder to effectively cool or heat your home, requiring more energy from your utility company. The regular service provided by an HVAC maintenance program ensures that your equipment operates at the highest capacity throughout the year, giving you the biggest bang for your cooling or heating dollars.

2. Helps Prevent Costly Breakdowns

The servicing and inspection that comes with an HVAC maintenance program uncover potential problems before they cause a system breakdown. This regular maintenance promotes the continuing operational health of system components and identifies worn or deteriorating parts before they fail, which could cause more significant and costlier issues.

3. Extends Lifespan of HVAC System

Much as we slow down as we age, an HVAC system’s efficiency rating naturally declines over time. However, a well-maintained system will generally retain a higher rating for much longer than systems serviced sporadically or only when needed. Along with the more durable efficiency rating, the regular servicing provided by a maintenance plan helps reduce component wear and tear, which helps extend the lifespan of the HVAC system.

4. Fixed Costs and Special Perks

When you join an HVAC maintenance program, you lock in the price for servicing and inspection. While annual program fees might increase in the future, the costs will typically still be much less than they would be for one-time servicing and inspection. Additionally, most programs come with membership perks, like discounts on parts, labor, HVAC system upgrades, special services, and priority service on emergency calls.

5. Convenience and Peace of Mind

Joining an HVAC maintenance plan offers convenience by relegating the question of appropriate system servicing to your chosen HVAC service provider. You don’t have to worry about keeping track of when your system needs to be serviced, because they’ll do it for you. Additionally, their regular service will help give you peace of mind, knowing that your HVAC system will likely provide reliable cooling and heating as needed.
