The cooling system in your Kansas City home represents a big investment and has an important job: keeping you, your family and guests comfortable as you enjoy time together. So it’s natural to wonder if professional HVAC maintenance plans offer you value or could be a waste of money. To help you decide, let’s look at the benefits offered by quality cooling system plans.
Proper HVAC maintenance:
- Delays the need for AC replacement: Regular annual maintenance of your residential cooling system helps it last years longer, delaying the need for a new central AC in your home. Neglected systems typically have a much shorter useful life. A well-maintained cooling (and heating) system can last for 15 years or longer.
- Keeps energy bills low: Like that other big investment that plays a crucial role in your daily life–your car–home cooling systems won’t perform at peak level without regularly scheduled preventative maintenance. Just as your car’s gas mileage suffers without tune-ups, your home AC performance degrades without maintenance, and monthly energy bills rise.
- Ensures optimal operation: If your cooling system no longer works as it once did, lack of maintenance is often to blame. Proper, professional AC tune-ups keep you cool.
- Prevents inconvenient breakdowns and expensive major repairs: With regular maintenance, your service technician typically catches any worn parts or small problems so that your system remains completely dependable. Scheduled maintenance (with its on-time, economical minor fixes) often avoids any need for costly major repairs.
- Handles essential tasks homeowners cannot: Professional AC service is thorough (provided you choose a reputable, certified HVAC contractor that you trust). Your system components will be completely cleaned, refrigerant pressure checked, and much more.
- Protects your warranty: Most manufacturer warrantees for cooling systems require that they be professionally maintained.
