These are the ideal times since they\u2019re right before you need your respective home comfort system the most.<\/p>\n<p>However, what\u2019s most important is how <em>consistently <\/em>you have maintenance done\u2014it should be once a year for central AC and heating systems, and twice a year for 2-in-1 heat pump and dual fuel systems. You can make sure you stay on top of these tune-ups by enrolling in a maintenance program. Curious? Read on to learn more!<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>The Many Benefits of an HVAC Maintenance Plan<\/h2>\n<p>There are quite a few benefits to signing up for a maintenance plan such as ours. Below are a handful of these advantages:<\/p>\n<p><strong>A More Reliable Home Comfort System<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are a number of ways that spring and fall maintenance helps your climate control system. The one benefit that\u2019s most immediately important is that it makes your HVAC system more reliable over its season of use.<\/p>\n<p>The last thing you need is a heater or AC at risk of failing on days you need it the most. Maintenance allows our pros to tune-up and clean the system, and helps us locate potential problem areas, so that you won\u2019t have to worry about making it through rough weather without a functioning system.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Longer Equipment Life<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A heating system or air conditioner that fails years before its estimated lifespan means a costly replacement when you weren\u2019t expecting such an expense. For the best return on investment in your HVAC system, you want it to last for as long as possible\u2014and routine maintenance is a key part of seeing that this happens.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Energy Savings Throughout the Year<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Over the years, heaters and air conditioners accumulate natural wear and tear\u2014this adds up to a drop in overall system efficiency. On average, an HVAC system loses 5% of its energy efficiency for each year it misses maintenance.<\/p>\n<p>It doesn\u2019t take long before utility bills creep up to much higher than they should be. Annual or biannual maintenance can keep a system running at 95% of its initial efficiency throughout most of its service life, keeping those utility bills down no matter the season.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Never Forget to Schedule Maintenance<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s easy to have HVAC maintenance slip your mind when you\u2019re busy managing a household among other things. A maintenance plan overcomes this forgetfulness, since we\u2019ll be the ones to contact <em>you, <\/em>with a reminder that it\u2019s time for your AC or your heater to get inspected, cleaned, and adjusted.<\/p>\n<h3>Our Program Benefits<\/h3>\n<p>Ask about our maintenance program!
