Trusted Heroes For Every Task

A heating and cooling system is a significant investment that requires regular care to run optimally and reliably for many years. However, homeowners often wait until something happens before calling a trusted HVAC company, leading to bigger problems and higher service costs. Skipping routine heating repair and maintenance does not just compromise indoor comfort; it significantly shortens the life of your system. At Service Hero, we understand the crucial role regular tune-ups play in keeping your system efficient, safe, and durable. Let’s delve into the reasons why skipping HVAC service may not be a good idea.

Bobby Hett

We had a main line drain clog under the house. Russell was our technician and approached the problem from outside the house, working retrograde from a trap in the front yard. I was skeptical but it worked when my efforts with a cable inside the house had failed. He was very professional and pleasant to deal with.  We asked him to install a cleanout closer to the house for future use and we were very satisfied with the work.

Tyler is the best! He came to our parent's house, knew exactly what the problem was, and explained it to us without the typical guesswork. I'd recommend him any time you need a good plumber.

Excessive Strain from Clogged Filters and Dirty Coils

Over time, dirt and grime can accumulate in the system, clogging filters and coils. If left unchecked, buildup in these components can obstruct airflow, forcing the blower and compressor to work harder. This consistent movement of air and temperature regulation can lead to overheating and ultimately burnout of major, expensive components. The best way to ensure your system runs smoothly and efficiently for years is to invest in proactive maintenance. Routine checks by a licensed technician can ensure clean filters and coils throughout, improving system performance and indoor comfort.

Accumulated Wear and Tear

HVAC systems play a crucial role in keeping indoor spaces comfortable year-round. Without professional inspection and lubrication, moving parts experience friction, and loose or worn-out electrical components can cause system failures. Even if your system is running as expected, neglecting HVAC service allows compromised components to worsen, creating a “domino effect” where one small broken component leads to complete system failure. While it may be possible to fix minor or replace these parts, severe damage is a different issue. A professional can assess the extent of the problem and determine whether heating repair or a full HVAC replacement is needed.

We Provide Professional Plumbing & HVAC Services

Tailored services to meet your specific needs and budget, ensuring optimal performance and comfort.

Short-Cycling Damage

A neglected system often leads to short-cycling, where it turns on and off rapidly due to temperature regulation issues. This is a common problem caused by dirty sensors or restricted airflow, placing immense stress on the compressor and fan motor. If you notice uneven heating indoors or the system turns off before achieving the desired temperature, it may be time to call an expert. Prolonged use can affect system performance and longevity, leading to frequent AC and furnace repairs. In the case of irreversible damage, the technician may recommend a full upgrade to restore comfort and functionality in your living spaces.

Corrosion and Refrigerant Leaks

Unchecked, small issues like salt-air corrosion in coastal areas or refrigerant leaks can go undetected for a long time, causing a steady decline in cooling capacity. If some rooms feel cooler than others, it may be time to call a licensed HVAC company for maintenance. Over time, severe corrosion and refrigerant leaks can permanently damage the compressor, prompting a complete HVAC replacement to avoid recurring repairs. A professional understands the intricacies of different systems, helping you purchase the right one for your indoor comfort needs, and providing ongoing support to keep your new unit in good working order year-round.

Improper Function During Peak Season

Skipping maintenance means failing to prepare your HVAC system for extreme, high-use weather, typically summer and winter. This can weaken the entire unit, increasing the risk of frequent breakdowns when you need it the most. In most cases, when heating and cooling systems are under heavy load without receiving proper maintenance, it results in permanent failure.

When properly maintained, an HVAC system can last over 20 years or more past its expected lifespan, making routine maintenance a worthwhile investment. Contact Service Hero to book an appointment with our experts to enjoy comfortable indoor spaces for years to come.
