Think of preventive HVAC maintenance in the same way as the preventive maintenance for your car: if you don’t change your engine oil and replace belts and filters, the engine will lock up and the vehicle won’t operate. The same holds true, in a sense for HVAC systems.

There are many ways preventative maintenance can help your HVAC system run better and save money. A clean system will run more efficiently, which will lower your utility bills. A more efficient system also improves the air quality in your home which helps prevent mold and bacteria growth, as these present serious health hazard.

An efficient HVAC system will extend life of your unit. A good HVAC unit that is properly maintained can last you about 10 years. This saves you the cost of having a new unit installed every few years.

A well-maintained system also requires fewer repairs. In Phoenix, air conditioning is used almost constantly. A system that is regularly maintained shouldn’t break down during the busiest time of the year and you won’t have to make any emergency calls when your air conditioning dies in the middle of summer.
