Why Preventative Furnace Maintenance Matters

October 12, 2016

You take your car in to be serviced every 3000-5000 miles. You pay a visit to your doctor every year. So why wouldn’t you also get your routine heating and air conditioning maintenance in Daytona Beach each season?

You may believe that if the air conditioning system kept you cool all throughout last summer, or you didn’t run into any issues with your furnace last winter, that you don’t need to have someone come out and maintain the system. But that’s where you can have problems.

Routinely taking your car in helps make sure everything is functioning properly so you aren’t in the middle of a 300 mile trip when your car suddenly breaks down. Visiting the doctor annually helps keep yourself healthy and catches issues early, like heart disease or cancer.

It’s very similar with heating and cooling maintenance. Travis Smith, owner of Sky Heating & Air Conditioning in Portland, Oregon, explained it very plainly.

“Imagine if only 20% of people who owned vehicles had them maintained regularly. There would be a ton of broken vehicles. A heating and air conditioning system can run nearly 2,000 hours annually, and if you imagine it’s working at the equivalent of 30 miles per hour, that would mean you put 60,000 miles per year on your equipment in between maintenance.”

Smith also notes that the process is just like vehicle maintenance. “Just as an auto mechanic would bring to any auto owner’s attention that it needs oil changes and regular tune-ups. There is no difference. Mechanical products need maintenance or they will malfunction and have decreased lifespans.”

So just because your system was working fine last season doesn’t mean it doesn’t need its seasonal tune-up. The bottom line is it needs maintenance now, and each year prior to the peak heating and peak cooling season.
