Does My HVAC System Really Need Maintenance?

The HVAC system in your Somerton, Arizona, home is responsible for maintaining a comfortable atmosphere. It’s important to make sure your heating and cooling system is operating at peak efficiency by keeping up with regular maintenance.

Improved Efficiency

When your HVAC system operates efficiently, it uses less energy to heat and cool air, as well as move the air throughout your home. Over time, the efficiency tends to go down due to a buildup of debris in the ducts, components that wear out, and other issues that slow down the airflow. During a maintenance service, your HVAC technician will inspect all the components in your system to make sure everything is working properly. If anything is out of balance or damaged, the technician can repair it right away, which will improve the efficiency and keep the air flowing smoothly.

Indoor Air Quality

The indoor air quality in your home is also impacted by the state of your HVAC system. The unit contains a filter that prevents contaminants from moving into the ducts, including dust, pollen, pet hair, dander, and other debris. As part of your routine maintenance service, your technician can determine whether you need a duct cleaning service or other addition to your system to improve the air quality. It’s also important to make sure you’re changing the filter as often as recommended by your manufacturer.

Reduce Repairs

Another important reason to keep up with routine HVAC maintenance is to reduce the need for expensive repairs. If something is damaged in the system, continuing to let it run could lead to more serious issues that will be costly to repair. When your technician comes twice a year, they can monitor any changes and recommend small fixes to maintain the efficiency and extend the lifespan of the unit.
