​The Benefits of an AC and Furnace Maintenance Program

​You’ve probably heard of the importance of a furnace or AC tune-up as the seasons change and you fire up your climate control for the heat of summer or cool winter nights. However, you may also feel this service isn’t absolutely necessary. If you’re unsure whether you need a furnace tune-up or other AC service, here are some benefits to choosing a tune-up service, as well as some dangers of avoiding this important maintenance routine.
What Is a Tune-Up?

Before you decide to opt out of a particular maintenance program, it’s important to understand what comes with an AC tune-up. This thorough maintenance program typically looks at the following components to ensure they’re working properly:
  • Air filters
  • Freon levels
  • Electrical connections
  • Drains
  • Condenser coils
 
Whether you just have a central air unit or a complete furnace and AC HVAC system, these areas of maintenance can improve the lifespan of your system, increase your energy efficiency and avoid costly breakdowns.
 
Dangers of Avoiding a Tune-Up

While there’s no guarantee your AC will quit working if you don’t maintain it, it’s much more likely to breakdown than a unit that is regularly serviced. Here are some potential issues you may face if you choose to avoid a furnace or AC tune-up:

  • Loss of warranty: Many HVAC units have a warranty that specifically states the need to have regular maintenance. Failure to do so typically results in a loss of warranty coverage.
  • Costly repairs: A dirty condenser coil is an easy issue to fix during a tune-up service. However, missing this small maintenance step could cost you hundreds of dollars in a replacement coil.
  • Increased energy bills: A dirty, damaged or simply unmaintained HVAC system lacks the efficiency necessary to lower your energy bills. Even the most energy-efficient appliance will cost you more if it isn’t lubricated, has low freon levels or has a clogged filter.
 
In order to avoid these issues, it’s recommended that you put both your AC and your furnace on a routine maintenance schedule. Don’t ask any handyman to take a look at your AC, but choose a licensed and insured professional with years of experience in your area.
 
Benefits of Tuning Up Your HVAC System
 
Invest in your HVAC system in order to avoid all of these dangers. Proper maintenance by a professional HVAC technician can add years of life to your system and dramatically reduce your utility bills and emergency repair costs. Whether you frequently operate your furnace and AC or only turn them on in extreme weather, you’ll still see higher energy bills without the quality care and attention to detail of an experienced technician.

It's interesting that you point out that you can reduce your energy bills by having maintenance performed on your furnace. I've been looking for a way to make my house more energy-efficient, so I'm thinking about having my furnace serviced by a professional this year. I'm going to search for a good business in my area that offers furnace maintenance services.
