WHY MAINTENANCE?

FACTS
  • Did you know that heating and cooling accounts for more than half of the energy use in a typical U.S. home, making it the largest energy expense for most homes. Energy.gov
  • According to Energy Star, up to 80% of all Air Conditioning and Heat Pump failures could be eliminated if the problems that led to the failure were corrected in a timely manner.
  • In most situations, a programmable thermostat can save you money without sacrificing comfort. Energy.gov
  • Only 1/8th of an inch of dirt and dust build up on the blower wheel can reduce airflow by up to 30%” Texas A&M Study
  • Dirty HVAC coils disallow proper air flow and heat exchange causing a 30-40% reduction in efficiency.
  • Dirty HVAC filters cause your system to work harder thereby reducing efficiency and causing premature system failure.
  • Ducts that move air to-and-from a forced air furnace, central air conditioner, or heat pump are often big energy wasters. Sealing and insulating ducts can improve the efficiency of your heating and cooling system by as much as 20 percent — and sometimes much more. Energy Star
  • Incorrect Refrigerant levels can reduce efficiency by 5-20% and can cause premature system failure. Energy Star.
  • Annual maintenance and safety checks can identify emerging safety concerns as well as increase operating efficiency and save electricity usage.
