The heat of summer is beginning to wane. There’s plenty more hot weather ahead of us, but the nights will be cooling off substantially in the coming weeks.\u00a0It\u2019s not quite time to schedule maintenance for your ductless system, but it\u2019s not far off either. You may think that you don\u2019t need ductless maintenance again this year, especially if you already had it done earlier in the year. However, it\u2019s important that ductless systems get maintenance twice as often as other systems. Let\u2019s take a look at why bi-annual ductless maintenance is so important.<\/p>\n
A lot of people, far too many, wait to call for repairs until they notice a problem with their systems. This doesn\u2019t work too well, since ductless problems don\u2019t often present any symptoms unless they\u2019re quite advanced. If you want to prevent as much damage as possible, you\u2019re going to need to catch problems before<\/em> they have the chance to give off any symptoms. The only real way to do that is with preventive maintenance. By scheduling maintenance, you give your HVAC technician the opportunity to catch problems early. You can save quite a bit of money on repair costs over the life of your system by doing this.<\/p>\n For the majority of climate control systems, annual preventive maintenance is just fine. This is because they only have one high-stress season during the year. For ductless systems, though, that isn\u2019t true. Ductless systems are used all year-round, as both air conditioners and heaters. This doubles the amount of wear and tear on the system, which means that it needs twice as much maintenance in order to stay in good operating condition. Be sure to schedule maintenance for your ductless system during the spring and fall.<\/p>\nTwice a Year<\/h2>\n
