If You Neglect Your HVAC Unit, You Can Expect These LossesYour home is an investment and possibly your largest asset. Most homeowners protect their property because they want it to hold or appreciate in value. When considering appliance purchases, you probably look for quality, longevity, and cost-savings. Today we look for energy efficiency; another way to save money.

HVAC Preventative Maintenance

Surprise! Emergency appliance replacement is never a good thing, and it’s even more painful to hear it could have been avoided IF… An even worse surprise is when homeowners discover the most expensive appliance replacement in the house is their HVAC (heating, ventilation, air conditioning) unit. HVAC preventative maintenance in The Woodlands TX can go a long way toward protecting your unit’s lifespan.

Good HVAC Maintenance Can Cut Your Losses

Energy.gov puts it bluntly: “If you allow filters and air conditioning coils to become dirty, the air conditioner will not work properly, and the compressor or fans are likely to fail prematurely.” If you neglect your HVAC unit, your home and family are the losers; your property value is likely lowered and your family’s health and comfort can be compromised.

Lower Energy Costs

You could be paying more on your energy bills than necessary due to the smallest HVAC problem:

  • Poor duct insulation can cause your HVAC unit to work overtime.
  • Dirty air filters negatively impact energy efficiency.
  • A “hot spot” in your house can be caused by something as simple as a clogged register or bad thermostat settings.

These are things your HVAC professional will check during your regularly scheduled maintenance visits. Professional maintenance can prevent expensive repairs and replacements later. For example, your Bradbury Brothers Heating & Air Conditioning specialist will always check your compressor; it’s one of the most expensive parts of your HVAC unit. Blower motors can also be costly to replace and can be kept in good working order with regular HVAC check-ups.
