The Importance of Spring HVAC Maintenance
A properly maintained HVAC system can provide you with many benefits. One of the most important is ensuring that your system runs efficiently, which can save you money on many aspects of running your home. To begin, here’s why spring HVAC maintenance is so important:
Energy Efficiency
One of the most important things to remember is that your HVAC system is a key part of your home’s overall energy efficiency. If it isn’t working properly, it can lead to higher electricity bills and even more expensive repairs down the road.
Running an inefficient HVAC system can cost you hundreds of dollars in energy bills each year. If your system is older, it’s even more important to get it tuned up regularly to ensure that it runs at peak efficiency and reduces your carbon footprint.
Performance from Maintenance
Your HVAC system is a piece of mechanical equipment that needs regular maintenance to operate at peak performance. A professional will inspect your unit and make sure everything is working properly: the air filter, thermostat, refrigerant levels, and more. They’ll also check for any issues with leaks or damage from storms or other weather-related events, like hail storms.
None of us want to deal with a broken HVAC system when the summer season hits in Florida, so make sure you get a tune-up and cleaning as soon as possible. If you have an older unit, it’s important to have it replaced before it breaks down completely. You can’t rely on duct tape to keep your system running!
But When It’s Time to Replace
If maintenance routines just don’t cut it anymore, and your system is failing despite all the preventative measures, it’s time to consider replacement. If you need a new air conditioner or heat pump, it’s a good idea to make sure you get a unit that’s Energy Star Certified. The EPA estimates that over the course of 10 years, an air conditioner with this certification can save up to $150 in energy costs.
If you need a new HVAC system, make sure to get one that is energy-efficient. They are more expensive up front, but they will save you money in the long run by using less energy. You can also get rebates from your utility company for installing an efficient unit or upgrading an older one.
