Air Conditioning and Furnace Maintenance in South Bend, Indiana

Routine maintenance is a critical part of maintaining healthy air indoors. Ideally, air filters need to be changed at least every 90 days. It is important to remember that debris and dirt can also build up in other parts of the heating system, so make sure to get in touch with our professionals to have it checked thoroughly.

Over time, dirt, dust, and pollutants can clog your air filter and make the spring allergy season last until summer. If you are sensitive to dust or you have allergies, getting routine AC maintenance should rank high in your list. Getting your air duct cleaned regularly is also a great idea.

A well-tuned and well-maintained heater will use less energy and is more efficient. Some studies have shown that annual maintenance can save you as much as 30 percent. If you invest in a programmable thermostat, you will enjoy more savings.

Aside from having your heating system maintained regularly, there are also other ways you can keep energy consumption low. For example, changing your filters regularly can also help you save money.

Clean furnace filters can help guarantee you enjoy your desired temperature without spending a fortune. It is also important that you ensure proper workflow so you won't strain your heater. A strained one will require frequent repairs.

On the other hand, your air conditioner will become less effective and efficient without annual maintenance. Unfortunately, even a slight drop in efficiency can increase your energy bills significantly. Each hour that your AC is running at 5 to 10 percent efficiency, you will be paying more money for less cooling.

Routine maintenance can help ensure your HVAC system remains in top condition. Without one, you might require repairs for issues such as:

• Unusually high energy bills
• Heater blowing cold air
• Heater shuts off frequently
• Heater water leaks
• Carbon monoxide leaks

Also, an estimated 80% of repairs could have been easily avoided with routine AC maintenance. If you notice spotty cooling throughout your home, it can be a telltale sign you are due for AC maintenance.

As a homeowner, one of your main goals should be to enjoy your AC for many years before needing to replace it. Each year your air conditioner goes without a tune-up, it has to work harder than usual to cool your home. This can mean more wear-and-tear, more runtime, and more energy used.

Old heaters can become inefficient over time, but they will continue running to keep your home temperature in check. However, defective ones can keep using more fuel without producing more heat. A sudden spike in your utility bill is a telltale sign that your HVAC equipment needs to be serviced.

Heaters can filter out bacteria, dirt, and foreign materials in your indoor air. A defective one can significantly compromise indoor air quality and cause flu-like symptoms and conditions.

A furnace exhaust that is not controlled accordingly can also cause a build-up of harmful gasses. When you have a cracked heat exchanger, carbon monoxide can also leak and cause adverse health effects.
