HVAC systems can be expensive to replace and maintain. Here are 4 warning signs that may indicate that your HVAC system needs maintenance work:

Strange Unusual Noises

If you hear unusual noises coming from your HVAC system, it may be a sign of problems. If you suspect that there is something wrong with your system, contact a professional to inspect the unit. If it is an emergency and needs to be fixed immediately, call someone in to fix the problem without delay.

Employees Complaining About Discomfort

If you notice that your office staff are uncomfortable with the temperature, humidity, or noise level, it could be a sign that your HVAC system needs maintenance. If they are complaining about air quality problems such as mold or other irritants, this could also mean there is a problem with the equipment. For example, if your AC unit has been having issues for weeks at a time and has just not been able to stay on for more than one day without needing repairs, or if your HVAC system breaks down frequently, it may be time to call in an expert. 

Mildew Or Burning Odor

If you detect a musty or burning odor in your home, there is likely an issue with your system. The first step to diagnosing the cause of this problem is to check the filters and make sure that they are clean and functioning properly. If they aren’t, replace them as needed. Additionally, check for air leaks around doors and windows and seal them if needed.

Increased Power Bills

If you notice a spike in your monthly power bill, it could be an indication that there is a problem with your HVAC system. You might need to call a repair technician or consider replacing the unit altogether. A sudden increase in energy consumption always causes concern, and when it comes to HVAC systems, this can lead to higher costs overall. If you notice that your home’s central air conditioner or furnace seems to be using more electricity than usual while maintaining the same temperature levels, it may be time to schedule maintenance or replace the entire unit altogether.

We know that when your HVAC system is acting up, it can be stressful and even expensive to fix. However, if you pay attention to the warning signs above and do preventive maintenance you’ll be able to save money in the long run.
