Having an HVAC system installed in your home is a great convenience. It provides ambient temperature in the home and clean air for you to breathe. To ensure the system works correctly, you must maintain it properly to prevent breakdowns. That's where preventative HVAC services come in. They provide trained HVAC contractors to service and repair your system before any major breakdown occurs.

What Are the Benefits of Hiring Preventative HVAC Services?

As more homes in America have HVAC systems installed, and most newly constructed buildings also install these reliable and convenient systems that can both heat and cool your home to provide a comfortable temperature, more HVAC contractors are needed to service those systems. According to the Air Conditioning Contractors of America Association, there will be a need to create 13% more HVAC mechanics and installers jobs from now to 2028.

Having your HVAC system maintained regularly is an essential part of having one. It may seem like just another expense, but a regular once-over from HVAC contractors can save you money in the long term. A regular preventative HVAC service will prevent costly breakdowns, extend the system's life, and ensure that the HVAC manufacturer upholds your warranty.

Preventive maintenance also keeps your home safer. An HVAC system that is damaged can emit carbon monoxide gas into the air in your home. Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas that can cause major health issues or even kill you and your family. An HVAC contractor will check the system for any potential carbon monoxide leaks and prevent them from happening.

What Gets Checked During a Preventative HVAC Service?

When you hire HVAC contractors, you can expect them to check on the following:

• Ensure that the refrigerant fluid levels are correct and inspect the system for any leaks.
• Confirm all the gas connections for leaks and signs of wear and tear.
• Check and tighten, if necessary, all the electrical connections in the system.
• Lubricate all moving parts so that they move smoothly and improve the efficient running of the system.
• Check the thermostat. Make sure it's cycling correctly and it switches on and off properly.
• Replace the air filters in the system to ensure your air is clean and free of pollutants.
• Clean the dust out of the air ducts to prevent any musty smells from entering your home.
