In our previous blog, we established just how important it could be to have an air conditioning unit in your Alaskan residence or business. With an investment like that, it’s important to get the most bang for your buck. So today, we’re sharing the key benefits of properly maintaining your A/C unit so that it gives you, your family, your guests, and your employees the most comfortable indoor experience throughout the entire summer. Here’s four great benefits you’ll gain by taking proper care of your air conditioning and HVAC system:
The unit will last longer
Like we mentioned, an air conditioning unit in Alaska is an investment intended for long-term use. You’ll want to give it the proper care and maintenance just like you would give to, say, your car. Proper maintenance effectively doubles the life span of the average residential heating and cooling system. As a result, if you do your due diligence, your A/C unit can last well over ten years!
Good A/C = good for your health
The healthier your A/C unit stays, the healthier you and your family will be. Without proper maintenance your air quality will drastically diminish, leading to nasty health problems like respiratory issues. Dirt, mold, and bacteria will quickly take advantage of an unmaintained HVAC system. That’s where a thorough duct cleaning by a local professional comes into play.
You’ll keep your business thriving
Our commercial clients know the value of having consistently reliable air conditioning during an Alaskan summer. Plenty of local buildings have glass windows that offer spectacular views of the great outdoors. However, those glass buildings go a long way towards overheating a building’s interior when they catch even just a little bit of sunlight! The solution? A great A/C system, of course. Proper air conditioning increases employee productivity and improves the overall experience within the building.
Increased Efficiency = Decreased Monthly Costs
Without proper professional maintenance, the unit will lose 5% of its overall efficiency. A large portion of your average monthly power bill is consumed by your A/C unit. You can cut energy costs by up to 25% just by maintaining the best efficiency the A/C unit can put out!
If you keep up with your maintenance schedule and employ a trained professional, your A/C unit will keep up to 96% of its original capacity! That means more efficient and effective control over your home’s humidity and maintaining the balance between your heating and cooling systems.
Remember, your best bet for ensuring that this task is properly taken care of is by hiring a professional. Check out this resource to learn how to find the right local HVAC contractor!
