It goes without saying that an HVAC system is one of the biggest investments for homeowners in Aiken and in the world in general.

Most homeowners spend so much money having an HVAC system installed in their houses as they are being built.

However, not the same can be said for those homeowners who keep up with the regular DIY maintenance as well as the professional annual maintenance check.

For these people, as long as the HVAC system is working fine, there’s no need for maintenance. But, should this be the case?

The answer is an absolute ‘NO’. Regular HVAC maintenance is important for your system.

There are a couple of DIY tasks that you can do regularly to ensure that your system is well maintained.

In addition, you need to have a professional HVAC technician have a look at the system every year, preferably during the spring, to ensure that everything is working as it should.

3. Increased Lifespan of the Unit

4. Reduced Repair Costs 

Preventative maintenance helps to catch any possible breakdowns before they actually happen. You need to bring in a technician to have a look at the entire system and ascertain that all the parts are in good working condition. The technician will be able to point out any parts that may need repair or replacement early enough before the entire system breaks down and you have to spend so much more money repairing it.

5. Improved Indoor Air Quality

The air filters in your HVAC system work by removing any contaminants from the air before the warmed or cooled air is redistributed in the house by the ducts. In the case of dirty air filters, contaminants and other pollutants are not removed effectively. As a result, the air isn’t properly cleaned before redistribution, leading to breathing complications, such as allergies and asthma, to the house occupants.
