The extreme swings between bitter cold and heat and humidity in Minnesota can stress heating and cooling equipment. The home HVAC system is among the biggest expenses faced by a homeowner, and it’s critical to protect that investment in equipment through preventive maintenance.
Preventive maintenance on your HVAC system will not only ensure that the equipment is operating at maximum efficiency but it will also extend the life of that equipment.
Government research shows that a regular tune-up of your heating and cooling system will save you money in the long run because of reduced energy costs. The high efficiency air conditioners on the market now can cut electric bills significantly but only if they are properly maintained.
Most manufacturers of heating and cooling equipment require annual preventive maintenance on their equipment to maintain the warranty. Many contractors offer service contracts that will include a visit in the spring to tune up the air conditioning system and a visit in the fall to prepare the heating system for winter.
