Purchasing a new air conditioner or heating system for your Hendersonville, North Carolina, home can be a major expense. If you’re on a tight budget, you might consider preventive maintenance to be an unnecessary expenditure, especially if your system doesn’t show any signs of problems. Learn how HVAC tuneups can actually help you save money and protect your investment over time.

Save on HVAC Repairs

Unexpected HVAC repairs are never a pleasant surprise, and they can take a serious bite out of your bank account. Though you can’t always anticipate breakdowns before they happen, an HVAC tuneup offers the ideal opportunity to identify a minor issue that has the potential to become a major problem.

At Nicholson Company, our HVAC technicians excel at finding small problems before they escalate. If an issue arises between tuneups, however, our team still has you covered. Our 100 percent satisfaction guarantee means you’ll always feel confident about the quality and scope of our repairs.

Extend the Life of Your HVAC System

We know you want to rely on your HVAC system to keep you comfortable for as long as possible. Without regular upkeep, your system could require costly repairs long before its expiration date. With preventive maintenance, however, your air conditioner, heat pump, or furnace is much more likely to last for at least a decade.

If you’re budgeting for a new HVAC unit down the road, scheduling regular maintenance is a smart way to stay on track. Our technicians can often estimate approximately how many more years your heating and cooling components have left before you should start planning for a replacement.

Reduce Your Energy Consumption

The United States Department of Energy estimates that in the average household, heating and cooling accounts for almost half of the overall energy use. While you won’t be able to eliminate heating and cooling costs completely, you can definitely make this expense more manageable.

One of the main benefits of an HVAC tune-up is that this service helps your system operate as efficiently as possible. Lubricating the moving parts, checking the refrigerant levels, cleaning the condenser coil, and going through the rest of our checklist all keep your HVAC system running smoothly on as little energy as possible. Without a regular tune-up, your air conditioner or heating system would lose efficiency over time, driving up both your energy consumption and your utility bills.

Our tune-ups also include a brief thermostat inspection, which can be the key to reducing energy consumption throughout the year. Our experienced technicians can recommend energy-efficient settings and best practices to keep your costs low no matter the season.

Keep Your Air Quality High

Poor indoor air quality is nothing to sneeze at, and it can be an expensive problem to deal with. After all, airborne contaminants can cause mold growth, respiratory problems, and other health concerns.

All of our HVAC tuneups include an air filter replacement, which is the first step toward promoting good indoor air quality. After assessing your system, our technicians may recommend installing an air cleaner, a whole-home dehumidifier, or a ventilator to tackle any lingering air quality issues before they worsen.

Benefit From Priority Repair Scheduling

As a homeowner, you’ve probably spent countless hours waiting for various services or repairs for your home. Whether you’re waiting for the cable guy, the HVAC technician, or the insurance adjuster, you might have to set aside an afternoon or even an entire day to wait for a knock at the door. If that means taking time day off work or cashing in a sick day, you might be spending more than you think on a service call.

When you sign up for our HVAC maintenance plan, you won’t have to worry about wasting your valuable time. Instead of being the last person on our list, we offer priority scheduling to our customers, whether you’re calling for system service or an emergency repair.
