Why Maintenance Matters
Plenty of homeowners try to save a little now by skipping the routine maintenance for plumbing and HVAC systems and hoping that nothing major goes wrong. Maintenance is a small investment that helps you save money, breathe clean air, live in a safer environment, and have peace of mind. It is well worth it.
Benefits Of Maintenance
Saving Money
By spending a little on routine maintenance, you’ll save money in a bunch of ways. For example.
- Avoid expensive major repairs
- Lower your energy bills
- Increase the lifespan of your systems
- Added protection when under warranty
This is like getting an oil change for your car. It keeps your vehicle running as it should and greatly lessens the chances of having a major breakdown. It also makes a big difference in how your system performs. The U.S. Department of Energy has estimated that you could save up to 30 percent on your energy bill. In addition, extending the lifespan of your system means you won’t have an expensive HVAC or plumbing replacements as frequently. That can mean a difference of thousands of dollars while you own your home. Another bonus is that having maintenance done can keep you under warranty which will come in handy if something does go wrong.
Air Quality
Air quality impacts the health of you and your family. Airborne pollutants are significantly higher inside your home than outside. This can help everyone live healthier, but is even more vital for people with respiratory issues. This is due to allergens like pollen, dust mites, pet dander, and mold. Cleaning the ducts in your home often helps eliminate these from your home. Inspections of your plumbing helps too. Even a small leak can lead to mold and mildew that ruins the air quality in your home.
Comfort
Comfort is a big deal in your home. You depend on your HVAC system to keep you comfortable no matter what season it is. It is something that people tend to take for granted — until something goes wrong. Nobody wants to arrive home in the middle of winter to find that frigid air is blowing into their home. This goes for your plumbing too. You may not notice it until it quits working. And when that happens, nobody is comfortable! Maintenance ensures that this is very unlikely to happen.
Working Pipes
Regular inspections help to ensure that your pipes drain as they should. Without these checks, there is a high likelihood that eventually the pipes will become clogged and rusty. Then it is just a matter of time until you’ve got a water leak, broken pipe, and a disaster in your home.
Safety
Your home environment is made up of systems that work together to provide comfort and safety. Here’s one example. If your heat isn’t working properly, you may end up with frozen pipes. Frozen pipes can become burst pipes and cause thousands of dollars worth of damage to your home and belongings. Maintenance can help prevent situations like this from happening. Plus, you’ll reduce the risk of other safety hazards like carbon monoxide and mold.
The Environment
An added benefit of keeping your systems running smoothly is that it can be good for the environment too. Well maintained HVAC systems consume a lot less fuel, which is good for everyone. Another way to help is with a programmable thermostat. Give us a call to learn more about how that helps you and your environment.
