[Michail Ductpro]

HVAC breakdowns may occur anytime. It could happen in the middle of a hot summer season or on a cold winter day. For this reason, regular cleaning and maintenance are incredibly important for the system to function properly, provide heating and cooling efficiency, and circulate clean air all around the house.

A highly recommended technician from one of our local air duct cleaning providers, Sem’s duct cleaning, here in Mississauga advised me to get a semi-annual HVAC tune-up, once for heating and another for cooling, to keep me at the ease of not worrying about my HVAC unit from breaking down.

If you haven’t had an HVAC tune-up or maintenance for quite a while, you need to keep an eye and on some signs that your HVAC system needs repair and maintenance as soon as possible. Knowing these signs can help you take the necessary steps to ensure that your HVAC system continues to function properly and effectively.

Air Flow Inefficiency

Poor airflow is one indication that there is something wrong with your HVAC system. The air inefficiency might be caused by one of two things:

1, through time, your air ducts accumulate dust, dirt, debris, and other harmful particles, this might be an obstruction to the airflow all around the house, and

2, your HVAC might be damaged and need a part replacement.

Unusual Noise Coming from the HVAC Unit

An HVAC unit that has an unusual noise is definitely one of the signs that you need to dial that telephone for a check-up and maintenance. These noises indicate that the unit is having a hard time functioning due to some reasons like damaged parts or dirt build-up inside. Urgent action must be taken before any further damages occur. Call your local HVAC and Air Duct Cleaning service provider to help you with this.

Increasing Electric Bills

When HVAC is in use consistently like during winter or summer, it isn’t unusual to have a high monthly electric bill. It is fairly normal since your HVAC works continuously to provide cooling and heating.

However, if you notice your monthly bills are higher than the previous season’s amount, it is most probably because of your HVAC system. An ill-maintained HVAC system can cause obstructions or damages making your unit work harder than usual. To provide the right temperature needed around the house, your HVAC unit requires more energy to function properly, thus the high energy consumption reflected on your monthly bills.
