As a thrifty and careful homeowner, you may be wondering how you can protect your home’s most significant investment- the HVAC system. With regular maintenance from a professional HVAC technician, you can keep the entire system running smoothly while you maintain valid heating and cooling system warranties in case of an emergency. HVAC systems that are regularly maintained usually have fewer HVAC problems, saving money for people like you in both efficiency and HVAC equipment repair costs.
Williams Comfort Air offers maintenance plans for heating and cooling systems in the Greater Indianapolis Area and is here to help you keep your system in peak condition. Failing to maintain HVAC equipment can decrease efficiency (up to 5% each year) due to dust and dirt from the air bogging down the filtration system and other parts. A dirty unit will not heat or cool your home as efficiently as one in good shape, potentially costing you extra money in energy costs.

With those Hoosier days staying warm while the nights begin to cool down, some homeowners are still using the air conditioner unit, while the actual temperature outside has forced others to rely on the furnace. No matter where you fall on the heating and air conditioning spectrum, your HVAC system unit plays a crucial role in keeping your home comfortable. Your comfort is important to us, which is why we encourage annual service for your HVAC equipment, whether that’s an air conditioner and furnace or a heat pump unit. There are several ways in which regular heating system and air conditioning maintenance can save money over time, including the following:
A complete tune-up to your heating or cooling system keeps it working within manufacturer specifications, which are ideal for your home’s energy usage. Our NATE-certified technicians follow a comprehensive HVAC maintenance checklist and will take the time to evaluate how your system is working, then take the necessary steps to get it up to peak performance. This is accomplished by changing the air filter of your AC unit or furnace to provide more effortless airflow, cleaning condensate drain lines, and blower components, and lubricating moving parts to decrease friction.
A heating and cooling system that works efficiently will save energy while still providing the output your family requires. A dirty or rundown system, on the other hand, will use power from your home to simply function. Inefficient systems may even continue to erode in performance level over time, costing you even more money. Instead of spending money on an HVAC system that does not function well, maintain your system and reduce energy costs. Preventative maintenance will allow your system to perform better throughout each season and will actually pay for itself over time as lower energy bills generate enough savings to cover the HVAC maintenance cost.
Through the course of an entire summer or winter, air conditioners, furnaces, boilers, and heat pumps are really put to the test. You can set your HVAC units and heating elements up for success each season with regular maintenance. Being proactive about HVAC maintenance can eliminate minor problems and the need for repairs.
If there are any issues, your technician will catch them early, and any malfunctioning components will be corrected through repair or replacement. Instead of waiting for your air conditioner to start blowing warm air, developing dirty coils in the indoor or outdoor unit, or for your refrigerant levels to run low due to leaks in the refrigerant lines, you can ensure that it has proper airflow and proper functioning with an HVAC inspection. Your heating system may also struggle with its thermostat settings, heat exchanger, or electrical connections, but a sweep over your entire HVAC system should prevent future problems.
One of the built-in perks your HVAC system has to offer is air filtration. As your furnace or AC units work tirelessly to heat or cool your indoor environment, the system moves air through the HVAC filters, removing fine particulates that can cause a range of cleanliness and health issues.
Regular maintenance and visual inspection of the evaporator coil, condensate drain, and drain lines, and having air filters replaced regularly will prevent harmful allergens from entering your airflow, providing you with cleaner and healthier air. Maintaining the heat exchanger on a gas heating unit prevents dangerous carbon monoxide from entering your air supply. People who suffer from allergies, asthma, or other respiratory problems should be proactive about scheduling their regular HVAC maintenance to improve indoor air quality.
Most HVAC manufacturers require that you hire a licensed technician to provide professional HVAC maintenance each year, or else the warranties covering your indoor machinery or outdoor unit may become void and null. That means that instead of the cost of your significant repair being covered by the manufacturer's warranty, the repair will be left for you to pay on your own. Important repairs are far more expensive than ongoing upkeep, especially considering that lack of maintenance can void the manufacturer’s warranties.
As a homeowner in Indiana, you may have some questions about maintaining your heating and cooling system. Fortunately, the professionals at Williams Comfort Air have the answers to your questions.
Industry professionals recommend that you have both your air conditioner and your heater serviced once a year. If you have a heat pump, you will need to get it serviced twice since it supplies your home’s heating and cooling functions. If you really think about how often you use your air conditioning in the summer or your furnace in the winter, it is easy to understand why it would need to be tuned up each year. Most people have them running almost continuously, which can put a lot of stress on the machinery. If you want to make sure that your HVAC system can be counted on for safe operation and is running at peak efficiency, you should have a NATE-certified technician come out and perform a maintenance checklist each year.
Hiring a technician to come out each year may sound like overkill, though it really is necessary. Your home’s air conditioning, heat pump, or furnace is an intricate mechanical system that can become rundown with all of the strain that it goes through each season. HVAC maintenance costs are far cheaper than a repair you may need otherwise. In the same way that you would not skip a tune-up on an expensive car, you should not skip an annual maintenance visit from your HVAC company – or it could cost you big time.
A maintenance tune-up for an HVAC system follows our HVAC maintenance checklist and includes important steps which have been designed by the Williams Comfort Air crew to improve your system’s performance. They will usually include these steps:
As a careful and conscientious homeowner, there are several things you can do to keep your heating and cooling equipment clean and running as efficiently as possible. While HVAC preventive maintenance from a professional is still required, you can help with the process. For example, you can:
Most every HVAC unit in Indianapolis will last between 10 to 20 years, depending on the type of equipment, usage, and your HVACA maintenance habits – similar to the life of a car. If you think about your system as you would a car, it can help you to understand better why regular maintenance is crucial.
Would you continue to drive a car that has not had its oil changed in several years? Would you risk a long road trip without getting a tune-up from a professional? You shouldn’t!
Just like your car, your HVAC system needs to be well cared for if you expect it to last. Major investments that you rely on regularly, such as your car and your home’s HVAC system, need to be maintained by a professional to ensure that they will retain their value, run properly, and work efficiently.
With regular and seasonal maintenance of your home’s HVAC system, you can:
