Your home heating and air-conditioning system is very similar to your automobile. You would never consider driving your car for thousands and thousands of miles without some sort of tune-up or maintenance on the engine. Well, the equipment for your heating and air-conditioning system, regardless of what type of system you have, needs periodic maintenance too.
Most equipment manufactures require proof of regular maintenance to validate warranty for any parts. All reputable HVAC contractors offer some sort of Maintenance Club, here are the benefits and what you should look for when shopping for a maintenance agreement.
Maintenance helps prevent breakdowns in your Chapel Hill home
Research indicates regular HVAC maintenance can reduce the risk of costly breakdowns by as much as 95%. Many contractors refer to their Maintenance Clubs as “preventative or planned maintenance agreements.” A maintenance visit is designed to “prevent” emergency breakdowns by catching a problem before it presents itself.
A few of the ways a technician checks for potential issues include, meter voltage, amperage, check wiring, and measure sub-cooling temperatures. Most contractors have a “checklist” you can peruse and familiarize yourself with exactly what a technician does during a maintenance visit.
