When was the last time you scheduled an HVAC inspection? Even if you are overly cautious to avoid overloading your AC and you always shut it off during storms, your HVAC system is going to require tune-ups from time to time to keep working its best. Just like you must get an oil change for your car, you’ll need occasional maintenance from an experienced technician.
From keeping you comfortable to helping out your bank account, there are several convincing motives to schedule a yearly HVAC inspection. Keep scrolling to discover more about these reasons!
- Improved HVAC Performance
- Savings on Your Power Bill
- Increased Lifespan of Your AC Panels
- Better Smelling Home
- More Comfort
- Prevention of Costly Repairs
- Protection from Fires
1. Improved HVAC Performance
If you stay on top of your annual HVAC inspections, you’ll be looking at much better performance throughout the year. When the dog days of summer roll around (like right now in Tampa Bay), you can let go of your worries about it giving out on you. It will keep you cool when you need it to without overworking and letting go of its lifespan.
As a result of better overall performance, you’ll see many benefits such as…
2. Savings on Your Power Bill
Who doesn’t want to save some money? If your utility bill has been higher than usual without explanation, it’s definitely time to call an HVAC technician. When our team comes out for an inspection, we’ll locate any issues that might be increasing your energy costs.
Pro Tip: Adjust the settings on your thermostat and invest in window and door insulation to further reduce your utility costs.
3. Increased Lifespan of Your AC Panels
With adequate care, your AC panels and coils are designed to last 10 whole years. However, without proper maintenance, they are prone to quick damage and won’t last nearly that long.
When a technician inspects your system each year, they can clean and perform any necessary maintenance to these parts. If your technician notices any evolving problems, they will be able to fix or replace the parts, so they don’t negatively impact the functioning of the system altogether.
4. Better Smelling Home
Did you know that the condition of your HVAC system heavily impacts the smell of your home? Your AC helps remove impurities and toxins from the air, making it fresher and cleaner.
Most notably, it helps remove mold, which is a dangerous biohazard that can lead to many health consequences such as respiratory issues and eye infections. A professional HVAC company will look for any signs of mold growth.
If your HVAC technician discovers mold, they can make good recommendations to treat the problem and purify your home.
5. More Comfort
If your HVAC is working more efficiently, you’ll stay more comfortable in your home throughout the year. Plus, you won’t have to worry about poor air quality making you sick. Need we explain more?
6. Prevention of Costly Repairs
Your air conditioner draws more power than nearly any other appliance in your home. It also presents the greatest hazards and most costly repairs if there are leaks or issues with refrigerant gas pressure.
During your annual inspection, an HVAC technician will be able to assure you that your system is safe after completing an inspection and necessary repairs. While an HVAC inspection might dip into your wallet, it will prevent the occurrence of much more expensive repairs down the road!
7. Protection from Fires
The last thing you want in your home is an electrical fire simply because you were “too busy” to schedule an inspection. The safety of your family and your home is our top priority, always.
Dust, mold, and other debris built up in your AC unit can lead to a short circuit in the electrical components, resulting in an electrical fire.
This potential fire hazard should not be ignored, so it’s important to keep your unit clean with the help of a professional.
