You’ve tried hard to cut costs where you can and save money this summer. Perhaps you reduced your reliance on your air conditioner, even during the record-breaking temperatures in Chesapeake, VA. Spending less is still a priority as we move into the fall and winter months. While HVAC maintenance is an upfront expense, it’ll quickly become a long-term investment that rewards with a high rate of returns. Read on to learn why you should schedule it early.
Maximize Energy Savings Through the Heating Season
The average heating season in Chesapeake, VA, lasts about six months. To maximize your energy savings for that period, you’ll want your furnace or heat pump operating at peak efficiency from the start. That means scheduling fall HVAC maintenance before you turn your heating system on for the first time rather than much later when the temperature outside is already cold. We’ll lubricate, adjust and test every moving part to ensure it works as it should.
Prevent Expensive Heat Pump and Furnace Repairs
Fall HVAC maintenance includes checking to see if your furnace or heat pump has any problems plaguing it. If one of our service technicians finds something wrong, they will repair it on the spot. If the issue is beyond repair, we’ll be able to handle the replacement. As a result, you’ll avoid requiring one when you need your heater the most.
Prolong Your Heating System’s Lifespan
If there were a formula for maximizing your heating system’s lifespan, it would involve efficient operation and minimal breakdowns. By scheduling fall HVAC maintenance early every year, you’ll increase the chances your heater will meet or exceed its intended service life. As a result, you’ll require fewer replacements over your lifetime.
Don’t Forget to Change Your HVAC System’s Filter
Although you should leave most HVAC maintenance tasks to a professional, there’s one you can do yourself: changing the filter. Check your heating system’s filter every month and change it when needed. For all other HVAC maintenance, contact heating maintenance and repair experts at Fair Mechanical. We look forward to hearing from you soon.
