You remember to take your car in for maintenance every 3000-5000 miles. You pay a visit to your doctor every year. So why wouldn’t you remember to get your routine heating and cooling maintenance in Oklahoma City each season?
You may believe that if the air conditioning system kept you cool all last summer, or you didn’t encounter any issues with your furnace last winter, that you can skip having a technician come out and take a look. But that’s where you may have issues.
Taking your car in regularly helps confirm everything is functioning properly so you aren’t 100 miles into a 400 mile trip when your car suddenly breaks down. Seeing the doctor each year helps keep your body healthy and catches issues early, like heart ailments or cancer.
It’s just the same with heating and air conditioning maintenance. The owner of Sky Heating & Air Conditioning in Portland, Travis Smith, explained it very clearly.
“Assume if only 20% of people who owned vehicles received maintenance on them. There would be a good amount of malfunctioning vehicles. An HVAC system can run nearly 2,000 hours per year, and if you assume it’s working at the equivalent of 30 miles per hour, that would mean you put 60,000 miles per year on your equipment in between maintenance.”
Smith also notes that the process is similar to vehicle maintenance. “Just as an auto mechanic would bring the need for oil changes and routine tune-ups to the owner’s attention. There is no difference. Mechanical products need maintenance or they will stop working and have smaller lifespans.”
So just because your heating and cooling equipment was working great last season doesn’t mean it doesn’t need its annual tune-up. The real matter is it needs maintenance now, and each year prior to the peak heating and peak cooling season.
