Maintain your HVAC System and reduce overall
expenditures through different means:
Install Programmable Thermostat, a one piece of
equipment which can save over $180 a year through maintaining a constant
temperature throughout home or business. Having a thermostat programmed for
time shut offs and zone specific temperatures also provides long term savings.
Clean the Coils on Air Conditioning Unit – a
dirty coil can raise air conditioning bill by upwards of 30% by degrading the
effect your system has its ability to cool the air affecting the unit to run
longer, utilize more power and increase bill. The dirty coil on air
conditioning unit can likewise curtail the life of the unit on a whole by a
year or more.
Replace the Air Filters of Air Conditioning
System – a clean filter lessens the work that an air conditioning unit must
perform in order to condition the air. Replacing or cleaning the filter saves
up to 5% per month.
Annual Tune-Ups and Frequent HVAC Maintenance – regular
air conditioner service, repair and maintenance on HVAC system can keep it at
95% of its original efficiency for up to 15 years. By preserving the unit’s efficiency
over time, the cost of a tune-up is quickly recovered through increased cooling
and heating capacities and minimized energy bills. The average unit loses 5%
efficiency each year without regular upkeep and maintenance, which has a huge
impact over time with 25% efficiency lost after the first 5 years.
MYTH: Routine maintenance is not significant "If it's not broke, don't fix it."
FACT: Unrepaired small problems can lead to very
costly repairs. Up to 80% of all air conditioning and heat pump compressor
failures could be prevented if the problems that lead to the failure are
detected on its early stages.
