You remember to take your car in for maintenance every 3000-5000 miles. You visit your doctor for a physical every year. So why wouldn’t you remember to get your routine heating and cooling maintenance in Fort Worth each season?
You may feel that if the AC kept you cool all through the previous summer, or you didn’t have any mishaps with your furnace last winter, that it’s not necessary to have someone come out and do an inspection. But that’s where you could encounter issues.
Routinely taking your car in helps confirm everything is functioning properly so you aren’t halfway into a 200 mile trip when your car unexpectedly breaks down. Visiting the doctor annually helps keep yourself healthy and finds issues early, like heart problems or cancer.
It’s just the same with heating and air conditioning maintenance. Travis Smith, owner of Sky Heating & Air Conditioning in Portland, Oregon, explained it very plainly.
“Imagine if only 20 percent of people who owned vehicles received maintenance on them. There would be a good amount of broken-down vehicles. A heating and cooling system can run nearly 2,000 hours yearly, and if you imagine it’s operating at the equivalent of 30 miles per hour, that would mean you put 60,000 miles annually on your equipment in between maintenance.”
Smith says the process mirrors car maintenance. “Just as a vehicle mechanic would explain to the owner that their vehicle needs regular tune-ups and oil changes. There is no difference. Machines need maintenance or they will break down and have decreased lifespans.”
So just because your heating and cooling equipment was working great last season doesn’t mean it doesn’t need its yearly tune-up. The real matter is it needs maintenance now, and yearly prior to the peak heating and peak cooling season.
