Dangers When Not Taking Care of Your HVAC

The quality of the air that you breathe is important for your health and well-being. The Environmental Protection Agency has found that the air indoors can be two to five times more polluted than the air outside. Unfortunately, most people don’t ever think about the air quality indoors. Just like there is outdoor pollution, indoor air quality is also important. Dust and other particles can accumulate in your home and inside your HVAC system.

Parts and wires can wear out over time. Your HVAC system will be forced to work harder and use up more energy. You may experience symptoms such as sneezing, headaches, asthma, allergies. These conditions can be a direct result of an unmanaged HVAC system.

You wouldn’t let your cargo without routine maintenance, would you? The same principle applies to your HVAC system. Without periodic maintenance or “tune-ups,” it will eventually require costly repairs or replacement. It will emit unhealthy fumes that are hazardous to the environment and it will burn more gasoline.

Save on Your Energy Bill

A healthy HVAC system is easy on your wallet. Dust and other airborne particles will force it to work harder thus use up more energy.

Routine HVAC maintenance will ensure that your system is running at peak efficiency, while at the same time providing energy savings year-round.

Don’t Ignore Accumulated Dust

Dust and other bacteria such as combustible and toxic gases, VOCs (volatile organic compounds), asbestos and more can greatly affect the air quality inside your home.

If you have a lot of dust in your home, the air that you breathe may already be contaminated. Excessive dust and other microscopic particles in the air are related to poor air quality.

They can clog your HVAC system and create a host of problems. A routine maintenance check detects potential issues and eliminates them quickly.

HVAC Maintenance Is Key

The smartest thing you can do to keep your HVAC running smoothly is to schedule yearly maintenance for your system. A trained expert will perform an HVAC inspection by tuning it, clean ducts, lubricate parts, and check overall performance. If an issue is found that could potentially get worse, it will be addressed and corrected.

Regular maintenance ensures that your home is comfortable year-round while keeping your energy bill low. Joining an HVAC maintenance program shows that you care about the health and safety of your home and loved ones.
