Why Annual HVAC Maintenance Pays Off

Maintenance visits cost money. When things seem fine, spending feels unnecessary. But the math favors prevention over repair.

What Tune-Ups Include

**Air Conditioning Service:** - Refrigerant level check - Coil cleaning - Electrical inspection - Capacitor testing - Thermostat calibration - Drain line clearing - Safety verification

**Furnace Service:** - Burner cleaning - Heat exchanger inspection - Ignition check - Gas pressure verification - Safety testing - Blower service

The Cost of Skipping

**Reduced Efficiency**: Dirty systems work harder, using 10-25% more energy.

**Shortened Life**: Neglected equipment fails years earlier than maintained systems.

**Bigger Repairs**: Minor issues become expensive failures when ignored.

**Warranty Trouble**: Many manufacturers require documented maintenance for warranty coverage.

Running the Numbers

Simple comparison: - New AC system: $8,000 - Expected life with maintenance: 15 years - Expected life without: 10 years - Annual maintenance cost: $150

**With maintenance**: $8,000 + ($150 × 15) = $10,250 over 15 years **Without**: $8,000 + $8,000 (early replacement) = $16,000 over 15 years

Add lower monthly bills from maintained efficiency and the difference grows.

When to Schedule

**Air Conditioning**: Spring, before you need cooling **Heating**: Fall, before temperatures drop

Many homeowners combine both visits for convenience and savings.
