When was the last time you had your HVAC system inspected…professionally that is? If the answer is last fall, last year, or perhaps never, then it’s time to consider just how important proper care of your HVAC is in the protection of your home.

As a rule of thumb, it’s a good idea to have a qualified contractor inspect and adjust your HVAC equipment every spring and fall to maximize the system’s lifespan and efficiency performance. From the assessment of unit wiring and electrical disconnect to the calibration of your thermostat, a professional HVAC inspection will check that all aspects of your HVAC system are running properly and safely.

Not only does a well-maintained HVAC system improve product performance, but it greatly benefits energy efficiency. Households and commercial space that implement proper HVAC maintenance will use at least 15 to 20 percent less energy than those systems left to deteriorate.

Preventative maintenance is unquestionably the best defense for your home. This is especially important as we head closer to the warmer months, when our AC units will be working overtime. SMART is offering customers—for a limited time only—a $50 rebate when scheduling a cleaning and maintenance inspection with one of their partnering contractors.
