Well, folks, summer has officially begun! That means barbecues, weekends spent poolside, and beach vacations! It also means the start of your cooling working overtime. You might not notice it, but your HVAC systems are running consistently, with heat in the winter and cooling in the summer. Even if you’re one of those who have taken your HVAC for granted, you certainly notice when it breaks down! Why? Because your home is either stifling or frigid…neither is acceptable. How can you increase your AC’s longevity?
Here at F.H. Furr, we’ve begun our Did You Know series to help homeowners discover why it is so important to maintain their HVAC system and provide tips for money and energy savings along the way!
Did You Know
The average air conditioning unit lasts up to 15 years. Unfortunately, this number decreases by 5 to 7 years if it doesn’t receive annual maintenance!
Whether you bought your cooling system recently or your unit is standing on its final legs, it needs to be maintained! Want to improve your AC unit longevity? Well, when maintenance is neglected, the system simply can’t function at a normal level. Just like you’d take your car in for an oil change or inspection, your HVAC system needs the same TLC to run properly.
