Taking care of your furnace and AC system by performing yearly preventative maintenance will only assist you in the long run. It will aid you in having consistent and dependable indoor temperatures along with optimal comfort. Over time, dirt and debris may lower your heating and cooling system’s efficiency and increase the overall risk for any potential problems. Even if your equipment is newer, most warranties still require you to receive annual HVAC maintenance on your system. If this maintenance is not regularly performed, your warranty may be at risk of being annulled. What Does an HVAC Tune-Up Include? During your yearly furnace and AC tune-up, your service technician will check all safety devices. The tech will also examine the electrical connections, evaporator coil, thermostat, and refrigerant levels of your system. They will then check the condenser coil, condensate drain, burners, and will prepare your humidifier for the season. An HVAC technician’s maintenance duties may differ. The specifics of the duties performed depend on the time of year. They may also change depending on what type of brand or equipment they are servicing. Along with our regular HVAC maintenance checklist, Superior's technicians will provide an Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) test at no additional cost. This is a test that discovers harmful air particles, synthetic compounds, and levels of Carbon Dioxide that dwell inside your home. We will then email you the results and offer any potential solutions. Some of these solutions range from just opening a window to getting an Air Scrubber installed. How Often Should I Get My Furnace or AC Maintenance Done in St Louis or St Charles? Furnace or air conditioning maintenance service should be performed once a year on each system attached to your home. You should schedule your AC tune-up around the spring or summertime. Meanwhile, your furnace tune-up should be booked in the fall or wintertime. Currently, our tune-up cost is set at $85 per system. The sooner you book, the better. Many HVAC companies’ appointments fill up quickly, especially here in the Midwest due to season changes. Which will then leave you with limited options to choose from and not many flexible appointment times. What Are Some Benefits of HVAC System Maintenance? Higher Efficiency In the off-season, a furnace or AC unit will be collecting all different types of dirt, dust, and debris. This will eventually take a toll on the unit itself. The system's strain will begin to show with a decrease in overall efficiency. With this decline in efficiency, there will be a noticeable increase in your household’s energy costs. Prevent Costly Heating or AC Repair Having a trained and certified HVAC service technician examine your system annually leads to less overall costly repairs. These checkups give the tech an opportunity to catch any issues your system may be experiencing sooner and will allow them to make sure it is working properly. This may also help them stop any problems from spreading to other areas in your system. Improvement of Air Quality in Your Home A well-maintained air conditioning and heating system lead to having cleaner and better air quality inside a home. This will be of major importance to anyone that experiences any preexisting lung complications, allergies, or asthma-like conditions. Extends the Life of Your HVAC System Just like a car, your home's heating and cooling system require maintenance and upkeep. Would you feel comfortable leaving your car unmaintained for months, or even years? This would most likely not be the case. When a homeowner stays on top of their HVAC preventative maintenance they can potentially extend the life of their system by several years. When is A Good Time to Replace Home Air Filters? Changing the filter is also a part of the maintenance process. Typically, most HVAC companies include a “filter service” in their check-up. However, the price of the check-up does not usually include the filter itself. The cost of an air filter varies due to differences in size and the brand of HVAC equipment in the home. Most heating and cooling contractors will give you the option to add one to the maintenance cost. You will need to replace your air filters more often than you will need annual maintenance. On average, home air filters need to be replaced every 30 to 90 days. Not regularly changing your filter is one of the leading causes of emergency furnace or air conditioning repair. How often you change your filter does vary. If the home has multiple pets inside, or if the homeowners have moderate to severe allergies or lung conditions, the household will need to replace their filter every 30-45 days A household with a single cat or dog may need to replace their filter every 60 days. A household with no pets will more than likely need to change their home air filter every 90 days. A home that is not visited as often will need its filter replaced every 6-12 months. An example of this would be a vacation home. The Importance of Keeping up with Your HVAC Maintenance Service in St Louis and St Charles Areas We understand.
