From too hot to too cold, weather in Palatine, IL can be a whirlwind adventure for any homeowner. Similarly, your HVAC system has to work hard through every season to keep your home comfortable. By investing in routine HVAC maintenance, you can help prevent frequent repairs, avoid breakdowns, and prolong your system’s lifespan.
Prevent Heavier-Than-Normal Wear and Tear
During a routine HVAC maintenance appointment, skilled technicians will inspect and adjust your system. This includes tightening electrical connections, lubricating all moving parts, checking refrigerant levels, changing the filter, and more.
Each of these tasks will help prevent normal wear and tear from becoming an even bigger issue. Failing to maintain your HVAC system can lead to broken parts, which can cost 50 percent of what a new unit costs. If it gets to that point, you might be better off replacing the entire system.
Avoid Complete System Breakdowns
While performing routine HVAC maintenance, skilled technicians might notice big red flags quietly causing strain on your system. For example, if a part is loose within your system, your technician will see and adjust it during your maintenance appointment. But what if that appointment never happens?
That loose part that was once a simple-fix can end up harming other components within your unit and lead to a complete system breakdown. Maintenance helps your HVAC unit perform its job seamlessly and avoid costly repairs throughout the year.
Prolong Your System’s Lifespan
High-quality systems can live a life of 15 to 20 years, but without proper maintenance, this lifespan can easily be cut in half due to heavier wear-and-tear and more frequent repairs.
