How ready is your home for the heating season? That’s a challenging question for most homeowners to answer — but that’s what makes early fall HVAC inspections so valuable.
You’ll get your answer and find the solutions to prepare your system for the remainder of the year and beyond. Here’s a closer look at why AC maintenance from a technician is an excellent way to find peace of mind about your climate control system.
What Happens During a Professional HVAC Inspection?
HVAC inspections are thorough assessments of how your system is performing. Fall is one of the best times for this service because it’s between the two times of year when you’re using your system the most: summer and winter. The assessment will uncover any issues or damage done from the summer while making any necessary adjustments or recommendations to prepare the unit for winter.
This is also when the HVAC expert will check other parts that can impact your system’s effectiveness. The most notable are the thermostat and electrical components. Even if there’s nothing technically wrong with the HVAC itself, thermostat or electrical issues can significantly hinder performance and even cause breakdowns in some situations.
The technician will make sure every element of the unit is working as intended by testing them separately. An HVAC tune-up also means the technician will clean and optimize your system, which helps it maintain consistent performance and prolong its lifespan.
Once they’re finished, they’ll let you know what they found, recommend any other services or repairs you might need, and offer advice on how you can further improve system performance and keep it healthy.
How Does an HVAC Tune-Up Save You Money?
A well-optimized HVAC system saves you money in several ways. The first is directly through its improved performance and energy efficiency. If all systems are working optimally, it won’t cost nearly as much as it usually does to run the unit. This is beneficial not just for winter but also for spring, when temperatures fluctuate wildly.
A professional HVAC inspection also helps prevent the high cost of unexpected HVAC repair or replacement. Part of an inspection’s appeal is a better understanding of the health of your system before you run it at maximum for another four to six months. Giving it a breather and checking on it during the fall gives you a chance to find anything that could be wrong — and, more importantly, fix it before things get worse (and more expensive).
But what does “things getting worse” look like? It could mean spending even more to have an emergency repair in the middle of winter. This can happen if you don’t keep up with your HVAC maintenance, so save yourself the money and the scare by handling it in the fall.
