If you’re like a lot of people, you take your home’s HVAC system for granted – that is, until it malfunctions or breaks down. But that’s a rarity with most modern residential heating and cooling set-ups. Rather, your system probably deserves a lot of credit for keeping your home comfortable and safe year in and year out, and at a relatively low cost.
Here are some tangible benefits of a modern residential HVAC system:
Keeps You Comfortable
It maintains a comfortable temperature in all seasons, operating efficiently and effectively. All it needs is simple, regular homeowner maintenance (mainly air filter changes) and professional maintenance once a year for the heating side and the cooling side. If you have a programmable thermostat, you can program energy-saving setbacks for when you’re at work or school in the daytime and asleep at night.
Saves You Money
If your home is properly weatherized, with the right type and amount of insulation in the right locations, along with air sealing of the home’s outer envelope, you can expect to enjoy lower energy costs along with more efficiently operating HVAC equipment.
Helps You Breath Easy
You will enjoy cleaner, fresher air if your home has proper ventilation. Along with the usual exhaust fans in bathrooms and the kitchen, you might go an extra step and install a Heat or Energy Recovery Ventilating system. This ensures a steady flow of fresh air, preventing indoor air from becoming dirty and clammy with minimal loss of energy.
Protects Your Health
Along the same lines, a whole-house air-purifying system will remove nearly all airborne contaminants, making the home healthier for occupants who are sensitive to dirty air, either because of allergies or respiratory ailments.
Finally, whole-house humidity control will ensure that indoor air doesn’t become too dry or too moist. This ensures better health and a more comfortable environment.
