Regular preventative maintenance of HVAC systems can provide significant benefits such as increased energy efficiency, extended equipment lifespan, improved air quality, and decreased costly repairs. Scheduling bi-annual cleaning and annual tune-ups can lead to energy savings of 10-40% by allowing equipment to run more efficiently. This reduces utility bills and lowers operating costs. Additionally, preventative maintenance can reduce the potential for emergency service calls and costly breakdowns by catching issues before they become serious problems.

1. HVAC Preventive Maintenance
What’s it worth?
Preventive maintenance…is it really worth it in the long run?
The answer... Yes! You get: Peace ofmind, long-term savings,and trouble-free operation. It is important to note that you can prevent problems
and costly emergency service requests by keeping your systemwell maintained.
Benefits:
Increased Energy Efficiency
The use of highly performing, HVAC equipment can result in significant energy, emissions & cost savings of between 10% - 40%*. Give
your equipment the ability to run at peak performance, while benefitting from results of lowered monthly utility bills and a more energy
efficient operation

Extended Equipment Lifespan
Equipment that is clogged with dirt, dust and grime has to work much harder and longer to create the same amount of heating or cooling,
which cost your organization money and often leads to early failure
Improved Air Quality
Indoor air quality is affected by dirty coils and blower parts within your air conditioning unit. You could be breathing air through a buildup
of such things as pollen, fungi & bacteria. This can trigger asthma attacks; eye, nose, and throat irritation; and flu-like illnesses. Bi-annual
cleaning of these components significantly reduces contamination of your airstreamand lowers your energy cost
Boiler & Furnace Efficiency
There is no doubt that Boilers & Furnaces operate more efficiently when they are properly cleaned and maintained. Have you thought about
a “Tune-up?” A Certified Tune-up can result in an annual energy savings of up to 10%.* (Add it up... what was the cost of Gas & Electric
the past 12 months? How much savings does 10% represent? A boiler tune-up cost from $300.00-500.00.The local Utility providersends
you a rebate of up to 2/3 of this cost.)

Decreased Costly Repairs
Regularly scheduled maintenance can greatly reduce the potential for a costly emergency service calls by as much as 95%. It is impossible
to avoid all HVAC repair situations,but pro-active, preventive care can catch issues before they become heating and cooling emergencies. A
wise person said, “An ounce of Prevention is worth a Pound of Cure.”
