In our area, whether it is cooling your home in the summer or taking the chill out of early winter mornings, the HVAC in your home is essential for comfortable living. With this in mind, it makes sense that regular HVAC maintenance is required as well. Still, when is the best time of year to schedule this service? Keep reading to learn more.
Why HVAC Maintenance Is Needed
Before talking about the “why,” let’s talk about the benefits of regular HVAC maintenance. It increases system longevity, boosts efficiency, and helps prevent expensive malfunctions.
As far as why maintenance is needed, the humid environment in our area causes dust, pollen, and moisture to build up in air conditioners, which can hinder airflow and put stress on the unit. HVAC maintenance helps the system continue working properly despite these challenges and ensures your furnace will be ready to go when colder weather moves in.
Additionally, routine maintenance keeps your system operating at optimal efficiency, which can help you save money on your utility costs and prevent unplanned repairs.
Why Fall Is a Good Time for HVAC Maintenance
While you can certainly schedule HVAC maintenance any time of the year, fall is an ideal time for a few reasons. First, you are likely using your system less during this transitional period, which makes it a good time to assess the system’s condition. Otherwise, you might head into the colder weather unsure if your system is ready to go. Also, you might find that it is easier to get the date and time you are hoping for by scheduling maintenance in the fall.
