It’s common knowledge that smart investments produce good benefits, and investing in your furnace is no different. While it may seem pointless to spend time and money on something when there isn’t a problem with it, giving your HVAC system attention at the end of each season allows you to reap a multitude of benefits. It is especially important to put some thought into switching from heating to cooling with the change of the seasons in order to make the switch as smooth as possible. That’s why we at Springfield Heating & Cooling want to share some ways you should invest in end-of-season furnace care this spring.
6 Ideas to Invest in End-of-Season Maintenance
- Give your HVAC systems (both indoor and outdoor units) a once over. Make sure to check for loose parts, strange noises, or leaking fluids.
- Clean the space around your furnace and AC unit and create a cleared perimeter of at least 2 feet.
- Vacuum out your air vents to rid it of dust, dirt, and dander.
- Invest in professional maintenance so that a certified professional can check for any asymptomatic issues.
- Replace your air filter and set a date for another replacement each month.
- Don’t abruptly switch from heating to cooling. Instead, when you make adjustments to temperatures, do so slowly. This allows the system to not work against itself and up your electric bill.
Why Invest?
Most furnaces last for 10 to 15 years. However, with proper maintenance you can extend the lifespan of your furnace to 15 to 25 years. Additionally, a healthier HVAC system produces and circulates cleaner air, resulting in lower electricity bills. Clean air that is rid of allergens like dirt, dust, and dander is beneficial to the health of both you and any pets that you may have in the family. Lastly, HVAC maintenance significantly decreases the chances of costly repairs. This is because professionals can catch the problem early before it gets out of hand. The benefits are definitely worth the investments!
