When the sun and warmer weather arrives in Oregon after a long winter, it’s exciting and refreshing. It lightens moods and even causes us to head outdoors and start sprucing up our yards and preparing for the change of season. Spring is also the best time to get your heating and cooling system tuned up. That way – no matter what type of weather comes our way – springtime rain or springtime sun – you’ll be ready. Here are some other reasons why you should set up your tune-up soon, or sign up for our Preventative Maintenance Agreement to take the hassle out of remembering to schedule it every year. Preventative maintenance is the best way to prolong the life of your system.
It might not seem imperative to tune-up your heating and cooling system, but it really is! Preventative maintenance for your AC system and heater is like an oil change for your vehicle. It keeps things running smoothly! Neglecting preventative maintenance on your machine can unfortunately cause issues, too. Not only do you increase the risk of unexpected system breakdowns, but you could also be contributing to its diminished lifespan. During your tune-up, our experienced technicians at Climate Control will do a thorough look at your system. We’ll check all internal components, run an energy efficiency check, and look for anything that could pose a problem later. If there are any red flags or other issues, we’ll discuss with you and find a speedy solution.
Annual maintenance on your machine also helps conserve energy and reduce utility costs. If your heating and cooling system is working hard to do its job, it will use more energy. This translates into higher bills, and it isn’t good for the environment for the long-term.
Springtime allergies will also start creeping back in soon. During your maintenance appointment, it’s a good time to clean or replace your air filters. This is a simple home maintenance task that is easily forgotten but has huge impacts! If your filter is clogged with trapped dust, dirt, pet dander, pollen, or other debris, allergens and other damaging particles can heighten your allergy or asthma symptoms. Stay as sneeze and wheeze-free as possible this spring and ensure your filters are cleaned or replaced monthly or bi-monthly.
Our goal is to keep your home or business comfortable with a heating and cooling system that operates at its peak. Let us help you get your system ready for spring!
