The Importance of Preventative Maintenance

05/19/2022 admin 0 Comments


Homeowners need to replace their system every 10 or 15 years, on average. However, if they don’t perform routine HVAC maintenance, that time could be a lot shorter. If the HVAC system fails, you could spend thousands of dollars on an entirely new system.

There are some simple ways to help your HVAC system last longer, though. Plus, performing preventative maintenance can help your family stay healthy, and breathe clean air.

Let’s see some of the easy ways you can take care of your HVAC system.

HVAC Maintenance Saves You Money

The biggest reason you should routinely work on your HVAC system is that it can save you money. You have two options when it comes to taking care of your HVAC system. You can either pay around $200 per year for regular filter changes and inspections, or you can pay more than $7,000 for an entirely new system if something breaks.

With preventative maintenance, you can help your system last for years upon years. It saves you the money you would otherwise need to spend on fully switching out your HVAC.

Preventative Maintenance Keeps Your Family Healthy

Your HVAC system is effectively responsible for making sure the air in your home is safe and comfortable. It takes air in and spreads it out throughout the house through a system of tubes and vents. The air you breathe in a house goes through filters, taking out large toxins.

If your HVAC system is not working though, it may not pull out any of the nasty particulates that could be floating in it. You may not even realize your HVAC is broken before it’s too late. Worse, a broken HVAC system could spread harmful materials throughout your home.

If dangerous chemicals from a sewer system leak into your HVAC, it could pump around the house. The only way to know if your HVAC system isn’t pumping out clean air is if you perform preventative maintenance on it.

Protect Your Home’s Value with Quick Maintenance Tips

You don’t always need to reach out to an HVAC expert to take care of your system, although it helps! You can take some simple steps to protect your HVAC unit and keep the air clean. They are listed below.

  • Make sure to always switch out your filters if they get too dirty. It helps air run smoothly across the house.
  • Do not place furniture over vents in your house, to avoid a buildup of hot or cold air.
  • Keep your indoor and outdoor equipment clean. Cut down grass that could be growing outside your unit.

With these simple steps, you can help your HVAC unit last for many years to come, and in the process, you can protect your home.
