Regular HVAC maintenance is important for maintaining comfortable temperatures in the home year round. It is common for HVAC maintenance to occur in summer to make sure the AC system is ready to handle the heat. It should be noted that it is also a good idea for maintenance to be scheduled in the winter as well for your entire system. Keep in mind these top reasons for a regular semi-annual maintenance plan.

Lower Utility Bills
If an HVAC system is maintained regularly, it can end up costing a lot more in utility bills than one that is. If there are any issues with the heating or cooling systems, that system may have to work harder to perform at expected levels, thus increasing energy usage and utility bills. Maintenance during the winter months is a great way to make sure all HVAC components are functionally optimal and can help save on utility bills in the long run.

Prevent Winter-Related Damages
There are things that can go wrong in the cold of winter with any system, HVAC system included. While you may not need your AC unit during winter, it can still be a good idea to have things checked out to make sure no winter-related damages have occurred that will affect your HVAC system when you need it most.

Increase System Lifespan
As with anything you own, such as vehicles or machinery, regular maintenance is always recommended and is sure to increase the lifespan of the HVAC system. Skipping winter maintenance could compromise the entire system. An HVAC system is an important home investment and one that should be treated as such with regular maintenance to ensure it can operate efficiently for years to come.

Reduce the Need for Repairs
Regular semi-annual maintenance is usually performed in order to keep an HVAC unit in the best possible condition. Not investing in regular maintenance could mean far more breakdowns of the system, resulting in frustration and higher expenses. Skipping a winter maintenance visit could be hazardous for your HVAC unit, including your furnace that is keeping your house at the perfect temperature this winter. The cost of maintenance is far more affordable than the cost of repairs that have gone unnoticed by homeowners. To reduce the need for repairs, make semi-annual maintenance a priority this winter.

Improve Indoor Air Quality
The HVAC system is responsible for the air that flows through the home. Even during the colder winter months, air is still being circulated throughout the home, and you want that air you are breathing to be of good quality. During winter, HVAC professionals performing maintenance will change the air filter so that you can rest assured you are breathing fresh, dust-free air.
