Reasons to Invest in End-Of-Season Furnace Care

Apr 16, 2021 | Blog, Furnace, HVAC

Spring weather is on it’s way, and it’s time to start thinking about switching from heating to cooling! While most homeowners simply switch their thermostats from heating settings to cooling settings, it’s a little known fact that the work doesn’t end there. We at Delaware Heating & Air have years of experience when it comes to HVAC systems, and we know that systems typically last longer and are more efficient when homeowners invest in seasonal maintenance. 

Why Invest?

You may be asking the question, “why invest in my heating and cooling system when there is nothing wrong with it?” HVAC maintenance is often a monetary investment, and many homeowners are hesitant to put money into something that doesn’t seem necessary. However, time has proven that maintenance is essential to the lifespan, well-being, and productivity of HVAC systems. 

Lengthens Lifespan 

Most HVAC units are functional for around 10-15 years. However, maintenance can lengthen their lifespan to around 15-30 years. Just like a car or animal, being well maintained greatly affects the functionality of HVAC systems. 

Increases Efficiency 

Not only does maintenance lengthen the lifespans of HVAC systems, it also significantly increases their efficiency. Clean systems use less energy because they don’t have to work against dust, dirt, and dander buildup. You can easily invest some time in your heating and cooling system by vacuuming out the air vents and replacing the filter if need be. Additionally, by hiring a professional to help you are being proactive about checking for old or malfunctioning parts. With a licensed professional, you can easily catch problems before they begin showing symptoms, and save a lot of time, money, and hassle in the future. 

Reduces Expensive Repairs 

While most furnace service check-ups come with a nominal cost, most repairs can cost up to $2,000. Even though investing in a tune up may seem pointless now, it can save you money in the long run. Additionally, like a virus, problems within a part of your HVAC system can put pressure on other parts. Therefore, problems can easily spread and cause other parts to malfunction. It’s common knowledge in the heating and cooling industry that problems left alone for too long can easily become worse and become huge expenses. By scheduling routine check-ups, you can significantly reduce the chances of the need for expensive repairs.
