More Energy Efficiency
Any HVAC in Minneapolis needs regular cleaning and maintenance to run as efficiently as possible. HVAC systems clogged with dust and dirt take more energy to run, costing you more money all season long. At least once a year, have your ducts cleaned by a professional to get rid of piles of dust and debris. During the season, change your filter regularly as it gets dirty.
Fewer Breakdowns
A dirty HVAC is also much more likely to break down than a clean unit. Dirt causes the unit to become clogged, which can make it stop working altogether. In addition, your technician can spot small problems while cleaning and inspecting your unit that will only get worse as the season progresses. By correcting them early on, you save money on repairs and avoid a potentially disastrous breakdown on those days when you need your HVAC system the most.
Taking good care of your HVAC unit can also help you put off replacing an old unit. Regular maintenance can even extend the life of your unit by several years or more.
Better Air Quality
Not only is your HVAC unit responsible for heating and cooling your home, it also cycles air constantly through your building. Dirty or damaged units aren’t able to efficiently remove dust and other pollutants from the air. This can cause allergies or other respiratory problems.
Safer Home
An unmaintained HVAC system can be dangerous or even deadly to your home and family, under certain circumstances. Exposed wires can cause short circuits or start a home fire. Damaged gas furnaces may leak dangerous carbon monoxide into the air. Yearly maintenance can identify potential hazards and correct them before they put you at risk.
