Benefits of HVAC Preventative Maintenance
Our VIP Comfort Club is a proactive solution to keep your system running efficiently and lessen the likelihood of failure. HVAC systems require routine maintenance, just like all other home appliances and the car you drive. Systems that go unchecked are 5% less efficient on average.
We suggest having your system checked twice a year - once in the fall before the cold spell and once in the spring before temperatures rise. In this blog, we’ll point out the factors that we run through in prolonging the life of your air system and preventing unexpected downtime.
The benefits of routine maintenance are huge: Lower energy costs, reduced repair costs, fewer emergency repairs, sustainability, the higher life span of your system, and, importantly, health and safety reasons.

Budget allocation
So what does it all cost? Preventive Maintenance will ensure that unplanned emergency repairs do not shake your budget. It’s always wise to set aside an emergency fund for unforeseen repairs due to outside factors. Still, with preventative maintenance, you can rest assured that you can have a reliable system with meager chances of breakdown.
