Can HVAC Maintenance Actually Save You Money?

Posted on

As a homeowner, your to-do list of things to accomplish in your home every single year is probably a mile long. Not only do you have to worry about the plumbing, the flooring, and every other system inside your house, but you'll also need to make sure that those systems are maintained regularly and that any repairs are made promptly.

But while maintenance on your HVAC systems may cost a little bit of money, not doing them can cost you hundreds or even thousands of dollars — most of which are completely avoidable. Below are a few ways that regular maintenance on your HVAC system can save you money, but if you have any questions, contact your local professionals to inquire about possible HVAC services.

Warranty Compliance

Not every HVAC system requires you to have regular HVAC maintenance performed on your system, but some do, so it's worth investigating your unit to see if it's required for your system. It may be a part of your homeowner's insurance agreement, or it may be a part of the paperwork when you had your unit replaced, but either way, maintenance will need to be done by a professional in order for it to count towards your warranty. Failure to do so can mean all those repairs that could come in the first few years will need to be paid out of pocket.

Fewer Repairs

There is no doubt that regular maintenance on your HVAC system will reduce the wear and tear on it. Regular lubrication, cleaning fan blades and condenser coils, and all the other things that HVAC contractors do will help your system run more efficiently so it doesn't break down as quick. That will translate to fewer repairs that will have to be paid for out of pocket, which will add up significantly as time goes on.

Longer Lifespan

HVAC systems can last anywhere from 12 to 17 years, depending on the type of system that's installed. Given the fact that most HVAC systems can cost over $10,000 to have installed in some cases, it's in your best interest to make sure that you extend the life of your unit as long as possible. The best way to do that is by having regular maintenance performed on your HVAC system. HVAC services like ductwork cleaning will ensure that your system runs efficiently for years to come.
