Why Do Raleigh Homeowners Need To Have Their HVAC System Checked?
Every Spring and Fall, homeowners find themselves thinking that it is time to have their homes’ heating and cooling system checked for problems which could cause them to have a very uncomfortable Summer or Winter. However, while they are thinking about having their HVAC systems serviced, they are also thinking about the cost of the service and if it is really worth the money. Our HVAC owners here in the Raleigh area are no different, and I have to tell you that it definitely is worth the money.
You are probably asking yourself “Why do I need to have it serviced? It is working fine”. There are two great reasons for having it serviced. The first reason is safety. We are constantly finding unsafe conditions in even relatively new systems. Conditions such as flue pipes becoming loose can cause dangerous carbon Monoxide to be pumped into your home. The second reason is efficiency. We often find that the fuel to air mixture is not calibrated correctly which results in wasted gas and increased monthly energy bills. By following a routine maintenance schedule, you will be able to ensure that potential problems are corrected before they become very expensive, as well as, before they can become a threat to the health and safety of your family.
I can hear you now… you are asking yourself “I don’t have a HVAC system, I have a heat pump. Do I still need to have it checked”? The answer is yes. You still need to have routine service checks performed on your heat pump in order to ensure that it is operating safely and efficiently. For example, if the FREON level is just a half a pound low, it could cost you as much as $100 extra per month. Everyone has heard about the environmental impact that leaking FREON has on it, but it can be a very expensive and time-consuming procedure to correct or replace leaking equipment. However, here at Experts Express, we can permanantly correct leaks and we offer a lifetime warrantee on it as well. Heat pumps also need to be checked for faulty connections and burnt wires which can cause electrical hazards and fires, as well as, reliablilty problems.
