5 Effective Ways To Prolong The Life Of Your HVAC System

5 Effective Ways To Prolong The Life Of Your HVAC System

Generally, the lifespan of HVAC (Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems is 15 to 20 years depending on the type of system as well as other factors. However, if you pay attention to its repair and maintenance, its lifespan can be further increased by 5 to 7 years. Besides that, regular maintenance also ensures that you are not paying excess utility bills. That being said, scroll down to learn the 5 effective ways to prolong the life of your HVAC system.

Get A HVAC Load Calculation

Let’s start from the beginning. Whenever you install a new system, make sure it is properly sized. It is determined by performing a load calculation. You must be wondering- what’s the need for load calculation? Well, if the system is not correctly sized, it will cause extra wear.

In simple terms, suppose a system is small for your home. In that case, it will not be able to keep the place cool or warm. Thus, you might feel uncomfortable. Similarly, if a system is big, it will reach the desired temperature way too quickly. So, you need to shut the system down. It can also cause the system to wear and might also lead to moisture issues.

Therefore, to save time, energy and keep the place at an optimum temperature, you must determine its size with the help of professionals.

Perform Regular AC And Furnace Maintenance

As mentioned above, regular maintenance helps prolong the life of your HVAC system. It helps identify any hidden issues, which might be causing high energy consumption while the performance is low. This way, you’d be able to reduce the risk of breakdown. The professionals at PayLessforOil.com also suggest that annual furnace and boiler tune-up will help in increasing fuel economy. Moreover, it’ll help with energy efficiency.

That’s why you must schedule annual maintenance appointments with professionals to ensure that the system is running smoothly and at its top efficiency.

If your furnace still doesn’t work despite your maintenance efforts, it may be time to replace it with a new one. This can help you save time and money on costly repeated repairs. If you need help with your new furnace installation, visit this website or go online to search for dependable HVAC technicians near you.

Pay Attention To The Heating Up Of The System

At the end of the day, your HVAC system is technology. Therefore, with continuous use, it might overheat, which can reduce its performance. An easy way to ensure that your system gets proper rest is by setting the thermostat accurately.

For instance, suppose the outside temperature is 100 degrees, and you set your thermostat to 65 degrees. In this scenario, the system will run all day, trying to reach the optimum temperature. Still, it might not be able to achieve the same.

Therefore, you should set the correct temperature. Besides that, you can also install a programmable thermostat. It will ensure that your system isn’t working all the time. Also, you’d be able to set the appropriate temperature more conveniently. Nonetheless, it would be better to consult a professional to check if there is any problem with the system.

Replace Air Filters Regularly

Changing the air filters can also be one of the simplest ways to preserve your HVAC system’s lifespan. Over time, the air filters will get dirty and clogged. This makes your air conditioning system work harder to maintain your desired temperature, running down its durability while raising your energy bill.

To avoid this, always check the air filters and replace them if they’re clogged and dirty as soon as possible. This way, you can keep your energy consumption low while extending the life and efficacy of your HVAC system.

Fix The Insulation Of Your Home

You can extend your HVAC system’s lifespan by ensuring it’s not overworked. This can be done by checking the insulation of your home. If it isn’t properly sealed and insulated, the air coming from your HVAC system will seep through the room. Your unit will have to work harder to achieve the same level of climate control. This ends up putting stress on the components, causing damage that costs you a lot in repairs and replacements.

Always have your home checked for air leaks and have technicians replace the insulation when needed.

To Sum It All Up!

All these will ensure that your HVAC system works properly and you prolong the life of your HVAC system. Moreover, it’ll help you save money on utility bills as well as on the expensive maintenance costs. So, before the season changes, you must get your HVAC system checked.
