It would seem that few people know just how important regular HVAC maintenance is, and fewer still actually choose to go through with the necessary steps of making sure their unit lasts as long as it can.
- Some people don’t even bother changing their air filters on a regular basis, much less calling out for regular HVAC maintenance.
Many instead prefer to wait until something seriously wrong happens with their central heating and air conditioning unit to call out a professional to assist them. Quite often, by then, so much damage has already been done that could have been easily been prevented by adhering to a few basic principles of HVAC maintenance. It’s estimated that one in five people regularly performed maintenance on their HVAC units. That’s a shame, because heating and cooling units factor into an electric bill far more than anything else. Forty-four percent of a household’s energy bill is often entirely devoted to powering the HVAC unit. People may simply be lazy or forgetful in remembering to maintain their HVAC units, but if they were made aware of just how much money they are throwing away yearly on their electricity bill and repairing serious problems that could have been prevented with their HVAC unit, I dare say they would pay far more attention to the matter. Households will often spend more than $2,500 on their electricity bill yearly. That’s a large amount. Regularly changing out your air filters and getting professional HVAC service could significantly lessen this cost. Have preventative maintenance done on your HVAC unit as soon as possible, and you won’t regret it!
