An HVAC service agreement offers you a cost-effective way to improve the energy efficiency of your Northeast Ohio area home’s heating and cooling system, but there are other benefits, too. You’ll enjoy a more comfortable home and lower utility bills, and you’ll extend the life of your equipment. When you need to schedule seasonal maintenance or repairs, you won’t have to wait around, because you’ll receive priority service. Regular preventative maintenance can also keep little issues from escalating into potentially dangerous situations or expensive repairs.
Here are just a few of the possible scenarios that a service agreement can help you avoid:
-
Thermostat malfunctions. If your thermostat isn’t working properly, it can cause fluctuations in your system’s internal temperature. This can damage key components such as the fans and compressor.
-
Air quality and quantity issues. If your system’s air filter isn’t checked and replaced when it’s clogged with dirt, hair and lint, you can experience allergic reactions and breathing problems. Over time, the reduced airflow caused by a plugged-up filter can also harm your HVAC equipment.
-
Condensate line blockages. If you drain pan’s line gets blocked by a buildup of debris and algae, it can overflow and damage the structure of your home. If your household wiring absorbs that moisture, it creates an unnecessary risk to your home and its occupants.
-
Wiring problems. The wiring in your system can become loose over time, which can lead to a short circuit if it’s not detected and corrected. If this happens, you may end up replacing some of the components, or the entire unit.
-
Lost system capacity. If your home isn’t as cool or as warm as it should be, it may be due to lost capacity. Regular maintenance can actually reverse this, so you’ll be more comfortable year round.
