Even though Virginia’s weather demands that your HVAC system work at peak capacity all year long, people often forget to schedule preventive maintenance. Sometimes homeowners don’t even understand the importance of routine care and only call for help when something breaks. Ignoring this semi-annual chore can have costly consequences.
Preventive maintenance is important for your HVAC system’s function. Uncovering minor damage enables you to address these issues before they become nasty large ones. Your leaky pipes aren’t just a nuisance, they waste vast amounts of water, damage the foundation of your home and even can break your AC unit. Keeping your coils clean is imperative for the compressor to run properly. Letting them become dirty can cause your electric bill to skyrocket. There are several important parts to a routine preventive maintenance visit.
