Bordelon's Air Conditioning & Heating

The air you breathe should be as clear as your service agreement -Chris Bordelon

How Important is HVAC Preventative Maintenance?

 

Many people tend to wonder whether HVAC preventative maintenance is worth the time and money. Well,  just like a motor vehicle needs regular tune-ups to operate at its best level of performance, so does an Air Conditioning and Heating system. While preventive maintenance benefits the system directly, having this service performed by trained professionals brings with it benefits to you as well.

 

Conserving Energy

 

Vehicle maintenance often results in an improvement in mileage per gallon of gasoline, and HVAC preventative maintenance similarly results in a lower rate of energy use. As the motors operate more smoothly and the system does not have to cycle as many times to achieve and maintain the temperature set point, it does not consume as much fuel. Lower fuel consumption means lower utility bills, which benefits all home and business owners when it comes to paying those monthly upkeep costs. Check out our Comfort Plan below.
