Why an HVAC Tune-Up is Vital for Optimal Performance

The efficiency ratings and the intended lifespan of HVAC devices is dependent upon scheduled maintenance. If this maintenance is performed by reputable HVAC personnel, the system will live up to its proposed life expectancy and efficiency.

If the system is not maintained with periodic maintenance from professionals, the system will incur more frequent repair, higher utility costs and premature replacement. This significantly increases the total costs of acquisition, installation and operation of HVAC systems. The cost of this increase is far greater than acquiring reputable HVAC companies to maintain the system properly.

The systems have to also be cleaned to maintain them. The proliferation of dust causes the HVAC system to work harder to perform the same duties. The heat generated by the dust combined with increased workload causes parts to wear more. This also greatly shortens the life of the HVAC system and effects its performance.

There are two main seasons in which tune-ups are very necessary. They are the summer and winter months. This means that the systems should be tuned-up prior to the heavy usage that the weather in these seasons require of the HVAC. The spring and fall months is the best time for this scheduled maintenance.

Summer Months

In the summer months, the system must perform its duties to not only rid buildings and homes of accumulated heat, but also to rid them of humidity. There are many mechanical parts that are required to perform this activity and failure to maintain any of these parts before periods of heavy use will cause the system to fail.

These parts as well as many other procedures are performed as a part of the tune-up process of reputable HVAC companies. These maintenance procedures are to prevent failure, but they are also done to make sure the system maintains its efficiency.

Winter Months

This efficiency helps alleviate the utility costs that are caused by these periods of heavy use. The system also has to be tuned-up for winter. Systems incur much usage during the summer months. Although parts may make it through these months, they may not be in the shape to also then make through the high winter usage.

Winter maintenance includes procedures that prevent issues that could include fires. They also include maintenance to the inside and outside portions of HVAC units. Both tune-up periods should also include duct and HVAC system cleaning.
