SPRING CLEANING
WHY IT’S THE PERFECT TIME TO SCHEDULE A TUNEUP
Your HVAC system may not be on the forefront of your mind every day, especially as it continues to heat or cool your home without so much as a peep. But as the last few piles of snow melt away and the itch to spring- clean grows stronger, don’t forget that your heating and cooling system is begging for a check-up after a long winter, as well. Your HVAC expert will give your system a detailed cleaning and will check all of its components and processes for faults and issues that could crop up the following season. While they might not be able to predict every issue that could happen, these specialists are trained to look for various complications on even seemingly healthy systems. This is an essential part of maintaining the longevity of your system. The purpose of a spring tuneup is to give you the peace of mind in knowing that you have a safe and functioning air conditioning system as the weather turns warm. This will save you time, money, and energy, as you won’t have to pay for costly repairs and coordinate times for your service provider to come to your home or business. Additionally, repairs can cost upward of $1,000, whereas a tuneup may only cost you a few
hundred dollars. When you pair the cost of repairing your system with the possibility of having to pay for damages should your HVAC system’s failure turn into something more hazardous, the cost of a spring assessment is worth every penny. More importantly, getting a spring tuneup for your HVAC system can be a vital component to your health. Technicians can
check wiring to alert you to a potential fire hazard. Additionally, replacing dirty filters will leave you and your loved ones less susceptible to allergies and illness. Don’t let your HVAC system sit through another season of sniffles, sweaty days, and subpar functioning — possibly without you even knowing it!
