Importance of a Regular Preventative Maintenance Schedule

Home temperatures normally increase during the summer up to a point where it is intolerable, especially if the air conditioner is not working properly. This highlights the significance of proper timing in the maintenance of the air conditioning system. A regular maintenance schedule for the air conditioning system will ensure that the system will continue to function properly and prevent any costly repairs in the future. In addition, when the air conditioning system is functioning efficiently, it will reduce  the monthly utility bill.

Appropriate Service Schedule for the Air Conditioning System

A properly functioning HVAC system will ensure the family is warm during winter and cool during summer. Therefore, it is important to schedule the servicing of the air conditioning system before winter and summer. It is advisable for the service schedule to be done in between these seasons so that the air conditioner will be ready when winter or summer comes. The HVAC company will normally make an appointment with the homeowner so that they can check the entire system. Checking the system may include the following:

  • Air filter cleaning or replacement
  • Removal of debris inside the housing of the compressor
  • Cleaning of obstructions in the grills or ductwork
  • Ensuring all the screws are tightened properly

Keeping Your Home Comfortable

Since the health and comfort of a homeowner is affected by a properly functioning HVAC system, it is practical to spend money for the preventative maintenance of the system. This will ensure comfortable living conditions inside the house. It is also particularly important for people who are suffering from asthma or allergies.It may be necessary for homeowners who have not used the services of HVAC contractors to do some research to ensure the professional they are hiring is licensed, insured, and bonded.
