There are a lot of things to be said about regular HVAC preventive service.
I have friends who continue to provide me grief over spending cash on seasonal HVAC service and repairs.
These are the same people who keep replacing their HVAC units. We have gotten 24 years of fantastic repair out of our heating and also cooling system. I attribute much of that success to the fact that it is tested by certified, licensed HVAC professionals. And it has been worth every penny given the longevity of the people I live with and I have gotten out of that HVAC unit. Yet, there is another fantastic thing to be said for consistent HVAC service. It gave us plenty of lead time prior to having to replace the heating and also cooling unit. This was an inexpensive benefit of our commitment to HVAC service. About a year plus a half ago, the HVAC tech who does the repair on our particular unit let us think that the people I live with and I were going to start to see the HVAC unit fade. The HVAC was going to start a spiral that would include less efficiency plus the unfortunate inability to meet demand. He recommended that the people I live with and I start planning for the replacement. Well, the people I live with and I took him at his word plus did just that. We contacted an HVAC corporation who came out to the house to help us. After doing the requisite locale inspection, he sat down with us. There he listened to our wants plus needs when it comes to heating and also cooling. The HVAC corporation helped us wade through all the HVAC options plus find the model that would fit our needs plus our budget. Now, the people I live with and I are about to have our up-to-date HVAC installed. And this was such a painless process because the people I live with and I had time to prepare, save plus purchase an HVAC replacement unit.
