This careless behaviour may lead to bigger faults when you will be left with no option other than replacing your system or hiring a professional to fix it (paying him a handful amount is another burden isn’t it?).
Although new, good quality and well-fitted HVAC system keep running for years without any fault, time changes their bearing capacity. If your HVAC system was installed a few years back, you should start planning its maintenance right away.
Here are the benefits you will observe after continuous maintenance of your system.
No break-downs
The HVAC system is critically important in providing you with a comfortable environment and coping up with harsh weather conditions. But there are certain cases when HVAC systems break down due to excessive use in harsh conditions.
Such as the thermostat of the heat pump may burst if it is in use for months. Your home will become freezing cold and you will have to put in a lot of effort in managing this sudden situation. And if it is the Christmas holiday season, you will not get any professional help easily.
However, if you check your heat pump before winters, and replace all the faulty parts or get them fixed, you can avoid this huge bothersome.
Effective working
Timely maintenance of HVAC system ensures that it is always in a good state, and is fully effective in all services. Despite sudden break-downs, the system may also start working slower than usual, if it is not serviced in a while.
If your desire is to keep your HVAC system fully functional, you should keep checking its status. It will make certain your home is comfortable and free from any problem i.e. heat, cold, suffocation etc.
Your home’s ventilation system may become slower, taking longer time to move smoke rising from kitchen stove. Or the cooling system may become less effective with time. Maintenance and repairing of HVAC system will avoid these problems.
Low energy consumption
HVAC system holds a major proportion of your electricity bill. And any error in it may cost you many extra bucks. For instance, if the average temperature of your heat pump is above 37C, your electricity bill will rise beyond your budget. Over-heating of the thermostat, increases average temperature and ads extra dollars in your monthly bill.
To save your money (and electricity for better purposes) you should pay proper attention to servicing and repairing of the HVAC system.
These are few indications that your system needs maintenance now!
Improper functioning
If your home is hot in summer even after your precious HVAC system is running, this means there is an error. Even if the system is working, the error will keep growing and at a point, there will be no cooling in your home.
If you observe even a minor change, such as the slow exit of smoke from your kitchen, or high temperature during summers, it means that you should call professional help instantly. If you will get it fixed in time, you will prevent many distasteful events.
High electricity bill
Have you ever observed a sudden upsurge in your bill without the addition of new appliances in your home? Because if you have, then your HVAC system is definitely the culprit here.
You should get your system checked so that you don’t waste money due to a faulty HVAC system.
Weather changes
If the temperature has abruptly dropped or raised, you must observe your system, particularly the outdoor unit. As snowfall damages the outdoor unit and it can stop the moisture flow of your home. Similarly, during hot summer overworking of air conditioner exerts immense pressure on it and in some cases, it can stop working.
To ensure that your HVAC system keeps working fine throughout the year, you should plan its maintenance twice (or at least once) a year.
It depends, if your system keeps working around the year, you should test it twice. Once before the hot summer, and then before winter. As in severe conditions, no one wants to bear the bothersome of repairing or fixing anything, you should do it beforehand.
Clogged outlets
As ventilation system keeps running all the time, its exhaust fans get clogged due to the debris they receive. As you can easily see the vent’s condition from your rooftop, you should keep checking it. And if it is dirty, you should clean it. Or if it has stopped working, you should replace it.
Likewise, the drain of the heat pump also gets blocked because of debris, dust and rust. If your outdoor heat pump unit seems dirty you should do something, to maintain the good working.
Abrupt breakdown of electricity
If the power supply is not stable in your residential area, it can keep damaging your home appliances. Storms, tornados, etc. often affect the electricity supply. If anything similar has happened, you should make sure that your system is working fine. So that you can fix any damaged or burnt part due to the random supply of electricity.
