As Idahoans we know that the weather is as unpredictable as the stock market these days but if there’s one thing, we can count on is that Spring will come at some point. It might happen in June for all we know, but it will happen, and you’ll have to use that air conditioner that has been powered off for six months. Once you power your air conditioner on, everything goes smoothly without a hitch (ideally). However, if your air conditioner isn’t working properly, you may be missing one key component to saving $$$$ and avoiding costly breakdowns. Maintenance programs are vital for your home heating system. It’s like your annual physical or your car’s tune up. It doesn’t work like your vehicle’s extended warranty, but it will save you $$$$ and headaches. Maintenance programs are essential for many reasons, but for time’s sake we will give you just five to consider.

1. ) It increases the lifespan of your home heating equipment. A well-maintained HVAC system can keep you comfortable for as long as 20 years (sometimes even longer depending on the brand).

2. ) It helps to ensure that your home HVAC system works properly by checking the internal components, inspecting your air conditioner and furnace, checking for carbon monoxide, replacing filters, and more.

3. ) Improving your indoor air quality. Most homeowners don’t realize that HVAC filter changes should happen regularly to avoid breathing in trapped debris, dirt, and more.

4. ) Reducing energy costs. With the current price increases in nearly everything we think that this one is important. A well cared for HVAC system will ensure that your system is running at maximum efficiency, and we’re sure you’ll be happy to find that in your wallet.

5. ) We think this one is SUPER important. A maintenance program can help you maintain your HVAC system’s warranty program. Some manufacturers require maintenance service for you to be able to use 10-year warranty.

Typical maintenance programs would include two seasonal checkups per year. We’re sure that you won’t regret scheduling a maintenance program for your home heating system. If you have the right plan, you shouldn’t have to call to schedule these appointments at all, they would be scheduled for your (on your time) through your HVAC company.
