It’s that wonderful time of year again, time for spring cleaning!  Be sure not to forget one of the most important systems in your home, your heating and cooling system.  After your cooling system has been resting all winter long, it’s important to make sure it’s prepared for the upcoming summer.  If your cooling system has not had an inspection in the past year, it is time to have your spring maintenance scheduled!

Why is having your spring maintenance performed important?  Experts say having your system inspected annually will benefit your system in several ways.  For one thing, it can lower your energy bills.  A system that has dirt and debris build up might be the cause of higher electric bills in addition to possible other problems.  By having your system inspected and cleaned, it will run at its peak efficiency.  At the inspection, our service technician will be able to find potential complications.  These problems can be repaired before they become more major, costly repairs.

Another benefit of having a spring maintenance performed on your system is it will help prolong the lifespan of your system.  We know that heating and cooling systems are a major purchase for your home.  In addition to keeping your system running as long as possible, the annual maintenance is required by most manufacturers in order to keep the warranty valid.  This proves how important manufactures think annual maintenance is.  “Asking a professional to check your system will increase the life of the system, improve energy efficiency, reduce pollutants and save more,” according to air conditioner manufacturer Trane.

Here are a few other quotes regarding the importance of annual maintenance:
        
“Just as a tune-up for your car can improve your gas mileage, a yearly tune-up of your heating and cooling system can improve efficiency and comfort.”  –EnergyStar

“Give your AC a tune-up. Running an inefficient AC system can result in high monthly bills.”  –Duke Energy Progress
