Is Regular HVAC Maintenance Really Worth It?


Tips & Advice

Air conditioner maintenance being performed

Life in North Carolina requires an efficient and effective HVAC system, as the unpredictable weather can compromise homeowners’ comfort. The best way to ensure your heating and cooling systems are ready to provide reliable performance is through regular HVAC maintenance. Scheduling professional tune-ups offers a wide range of benefits that both prioritize efficiency and safeguard your comfort.

In this article, the expert HVAC technicians at Roby Services discuss what’s included in a routine HVAC tune-up, along with the advantages that these services can afford Charlotte residents.

What’s Involved in Professional HVAC Maintenance?

The steps included in an HVAC tune-up will differ based on whether you’re receiving AC maintenance or heating maintenance. Regardless of your system, a professional technician will use these appointments to do the following:

  • Inspect your system to identify any issues or concerns.
  • Replace air filters and do a thorough system cleaning.
  • Perform a safety check for all electrical connections.
  • Check for leaks, blockages, or airflow issues in ductwork.
  • Lubricate all moving parts to reduce friction and wear.
  • Complete a system performance test.

4 Benefits of Annual HVAC Maintenance

During an HVAC maintenance appointment, a technician will ensure that your system is operating at peak performance and handle any minor issues. As a result, homeowners will experience a wide range of benefits.

Lower Energy Costs

From ensuring proper airflow to preventing overworking, HVAC tune-ups help your system perform at maximum efficiency. A technician has the skills and experience to identify things that may be causing stress, such as blocked airflow, duct leaks, low refrigerant levels, and more. By keeping your system working efficiently, you can lower your energy costs and reduce your carbon footprint.

Longer Lasting System 

When a technician inspects and tests your system, they’re looking for ways to reduce unnecessary wear and tear that can result in premature replacements. They’re also looking for any minor issue that, if left unaddressed, could result in a serious breakdown in the future. By preventing these problems proactively, they can help to extend the lifespan of your HVAC system.

Better Comfort

The primary goal of HVAC maintenance is to ensure your home can maintain a consistent temperature. With regular tune-ups, homeowners can avoid issues like hot and cold spots, reduced airflow, excess noise, and more that can impact the overall comfort of their homes.

Improved Indoor Air Quality

If you’ve noticed additional dust in your home, your HVAC could be to blame. Luckily, routine maintenance can solve this problem. Regular filter changes can improve the indoor air quality in your home and eliminate issues like dust, mold, and more. Plus, increased ventilation can balance airflow to keep your home smelling and feeling fresh.

When Should You Get Maintenance Done?

HVAC maintenance should be completed twice a year — once for heating and once for cooling. We recommend scheduling your heating tune-up in the fall and your AC tune-up in the spring to ensure your system is ready for the change of season and consistent use.
