Why Regular HVAC Repair and Maintenance Is Essential for Calgary Homes

Calgary is known for its hot, dry summers and cold, frigid winters. A working heating and cooling system for your home is not just a luxury, but a necessity. Given our distinct climate, regular HVAC maintenance is essential to ensure your system runs efficiently without any issues or unexpected breakdowns. Annual maintenance can include inspecting, cleaning, testing, and repairing any of the components of your HVAC system. Keep reading to find out why regular HVAC repair and maintenance is essential for homeowners in Calgary.

Lower Energy Bills

A well-maintained air conditioner or heating system will function more efficiently. This means that your HVAC system won’t need to work as hard to keep your home at the right temperature. When your system isn’t working as hard, it uses less energy, resulting in lower monthly utility bills. 

More Comfort

Whether you’re heating your home during the winter, or cooling your home during a hot, dry summer, your HVAC system’s main purpose is to keep you comfortable. A well-maintained system that is not in need of any repairs will perform optimally and efficiently. Regular maintenance and repairs to your HVAC system can help improve airflow, reduce hot and cold spots, and reduce humidity, all while your system runs silently and smoothly. This means you and your family will be comfortable in your Calgary home, all year around.  

Improve Air Quality

Indoor air pollutants can cause respiratory or other health issues. Scheduling regular maintenance for your HVAC system improves the air quality in your home. Clean, well-filtered air makes for a healthier indoor living environment.  

Avoid Costly Repairs

Scheduling annual maintenance for your heating and cooling system can prevent costly breakdowns. Don’t assume your HVAC system doesn’t need regular upkeep just because it’s currently functioning. Regular maintenance check-ups can detect minor problems so you can promptly make the necessary repairs or replacements. By catching these small issues early, you can avoid more serious damage to your unit and avoid more costly repairs.  

Prolong the Lifespan

By keeping on top of regular maintenance and making repairs when needed, you can help prolong the life of your HVAC system. Keeping your system in good working order will help it run smoother for longer, maximizing its lifespan, and saving you money on replacements.

More Environmentally Friendly

An efficient heating and cooling system is much better for the environment. Preventive HVAC maintenance will improve its performance and help the system run more efficiently. By burning less energy, your HVAC system will have less of an environmental impact.

Safety

HVAC systems that are not properly maintained can pose some safety hazards such as carbon monoxide poisoning, fire hazards, electrical hazards, or mould growth. Neglecting your system can put you and your family at risk. Regular maintenance, especially from a professional, will make sure your HVAC system is operating safely.

HVAC units should be serviced at least once a year. If you need to schedule your annual maintenance check-up, or your system is in need of repairs, call us at Mr. Mike’s in Calgary today!
