HVAC Preventative Maintenance Tips

Heating & Cooling

Your HVAC system is one of the most expensive items to replace in your home. In addition, HVAC breakdowns can cause the most discomfort for yourself and your family. Repairs can be costly and there is never a good time for them to happen. So, how do you prevent costly repairs and system failures? Here are five great HVAC preventative maintenance tips that you can start today!

1. Change Your Air Filters

Dirt and debris can wreak havoc on a heating and air conditioning system. Changing air filters is one of the easiest HVAC preventative maintenance tasks you can do. Always follow the manufactures specific requirement for your particular HVAC system.

In addition, put a reminder on your phone or calendar to change out filters. Forgetting to change your air filters can lead to expensive repairs and damage to your system.

2. Don’t Overwork Your HVAC System

Overworking your HVAC system on an extremely hot or cold day can cause damage to the system. Set your thermostat to a reasonable temperature or have a programmable thermostat installed.

For example, a NEST learning thermostat can be scheduled to run less while you are away at work or on vacation. Then, as you return home, your system can be scheduled to cool or heat your home to a comfortable temperature right before you arrive.

3. Hire a Reputable Company for HVAC Seasonal Maintenance

Always have seasonal HVAC maintenance performed by a licensed HVAC technician. This is one of the best ways to extend the life of your system and prevent unexpected breakdowns. This will keep your system working at top efficiency. Furthermore, preventative maintenance saves time and money for customers. Lastly, homeowners can avoid the high cost of expensive repairs.

Seasonal HVAC preventative maintenance inspections save money. Your system will be thoroughly cleaned and checked for possible issues before they turn into major repairs. Companies like Climate Control have an excellent reputation and customer service.

4. Catch Developing Problems Early

Your HVAC unit is working hard throughout the entire year and problems can occur. By having seasonal maintenance, these problems that develop can be caught and fixed early before it becomes a huge issue. Additionally, HVAC preventative maintenance can save you from paying for serious damages or even replacing your unit.

5. Purchase an Extended Warranty for HVAC Preventative Maintenance

An extended warranty provides peace of mind. Also, most extended warranties offer discounts and priority service to their customers. As your system ages, an extended warranty can go a long way to extend the life of your system through preventative maintenance.

Above all, purchasing a new HVAC system is one of the most expensive replacement costs within your home. Having the ability to extend your system and keep it running at peak performance saves both time and money.

There are many simple steps you can take to extend the life of your system and prevent unnecessary wear and tear. Climate Control in Lexington has an excellent HVAC extended warranty program that provides long-term savings and protection.
