I do my part in taking care of my HVAC system.
It’s 7 years old, which means it’s not super young but it’s also not super old either. Knowing this, I do everything I can in an attempt to keep it running efficiently all year long. One of the best things I do for my HVAC system is hire an HVAC professional twice per year to service the equipment. An HVAC professional not only cleans and repairs various parts and pieces, but they also look for anything concerning. HVAC professionals are trained to find problems that haven’t even started yet. The HVAC company I use is excellent in doing this whenever they service my HVAC system. On multiple occasions, I’ve had an HVAC professional tell me that although my HVAC system was running perfectly fine at the moment, there were smaller things that needed to be done if I wanted to avoid a much larger problem. For instance, last year, the HVAC professional who serviced my HVAC system in the fall told me that the furnace and air conditioner were in great condition, but my ductwork looked really dirty. It wasn’t causing significant issues at the moment, but it would later on if I didn’t get things under control. All the dust and debri would cause a lot of stress on my HVAC system, causing it to run inefficiently and possibly create tiny holes in the ductwork itself. This was a much larger issue I wanted to avoid, so I hired a professional to clean my ductwork for me.
