Why Regular Preventative HVAC Maintenance is Important for Your System

When it comes to maintenance a good maintenance schedule is twice a year. Once in the fall to check everything with the heating side and then once in the spring to check everything on the air conditioning side. For a relatively small investment you can save money, breathe healthy and clean air.

Reasons Why HVAC Maintenance is so Important For Homeowners

For most of you out there it will be to save money. Your HVAC system is a well-engineered and complex system that in most homes utilizes around 50% of the consumed energy. If one stays on top of their maintenance they will ensure that their system is operating at its max performance.

Money Saving Examples of Proper HVAC Maintenance

Just about every residential heating and air conditioning system out there has a start and run capacitors in them. This is a very common part that fails on systems and in most cases the system will still run and keep you comfortable. In reality the system may be struggling to start up or not running at proper rated amp draws. This can cause the system to use more power and overheat the motors of the system.

Two other very common problems we want to stay on top of are refrigerant levels and clean indoor/outdoor coils. There again your system may seem to be working and keeping you comfortable but at a much higher cost on your utility bills. Eventually these examples will result in costly breakdowns.

It is said that regular HVAC maintenance will reduce the risk of costly breakdowns by as much as 95%. Also by keeping the system running at peak efficiency you can save up to 30% on your energy bill, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.

Extending The Life of Your HVAC System

Routine maintenance is very important to the life of your system. As mentioned before this well-engineered equipment is made up of many different parts that all have to work together.

System Longevity Example

If your system is operating with a low output run capacitor or low on refrigerant. This could cause a number of problems, one of them being compressor failure.

Keeping Your Family and Home Safe With Maintenance Service

We have all heard the serious health issues that carbon monoxide can cause. Gas Furnaces these days are designed with a lot of safety components in them. Its important for all of them to function properly. Preventive maintenance will check each and everyone of these components to ensure the safe operation of the furnace.

I’m sure you know someone or you have heard of someone coming home from work or back from vacation to a hot or cold home along with water damage due to the heater not working and the water lines frozen and busted. Or water damage due to the evaporator coil being frozen over. Maybe it was just the drain line stopped up. This lack of maintenance can cause you the homeowner thousands of dollars.

Improve your Comfort

We all depend on our heating and air system to keep us comfortable year round. There’s more to a system than blowing hot air in the winter and cold air in the summer. Your HVAC system also includes your duct work and ventilation. Do you have a room that stays too cold in the winter or one that stays too hot in the summer? Maybe it’s one whole side of your house. It could be that maybe during the summer time your house feels sticky and wet due to high humidity. These issues could be caused by improper maintenance. Regular maintenance will also minimize the chance of your HVAC system disturbing your quality of life with noises or unpleasant smells.

Improve The Air Quality In Your Home

The EPA reports that the indoor levels of airborne pollutants may be 2-5 times higher (In extreme cases more than 100 times higher) than outdoor levels. Along with routine maintenance, keeping your filter clean will decrease the airborne pollutants. There are some other practices that your HVAC technician can help you with when it comes to controlling respiratory issues like pet dander, dust mites, pollen and mold. Such as better filtration systems, ERV systems and UV lights.

We were in dire situation last last summer when our AC system went off with no repair really feasible. We took some time to shop around despite of awful heat in the house. Johnatan from Paradise Heating and Air is honest, articulate, skillful professional. He offered the best value and cost, the easiest ways to pay, and great service plan. I would recommend everyone to contact Johnatan and Paradise Heating and Air for the AC service.

Jonathan was fantastic to work with! We had multiple quotes and opinions on some work we needed to get done and his recommendations and quote came in best and he had some recommendations others did not make that make us feel like he really cared about doing the right thing and really inspected our hvac situation.

2025 UPDATE: I needed Jonathan service on Friday, April 3rd. I called his office at 6:40. Jonathan arrived at my home by 2 o’clock that afternoon.

I was fortunately able to get an appointment for the next day. Jonathan & Austin were prompt and kept me advised of their arrival. They quickly found the problem with my "heat" and were able to fix it without problems. They were very friendly and professional, and I felt that their pricing was fair and reasonable. Thanks again, Guys! UPDATE: I once again had a very good visit from Paradise Heating & Air - they are very prompt and reliable and do an efficient job - thanks once again! I definitely recommend these nice guys!!!

Adam Myers

One of our AC units decided to give up, or so we thought. We had several companies come out and give us a quote to replace our unit, all exceeding $13k. Paradise came out, and instead of just giving a price to replace it, they asked if they could tinker with the equipment. They had it fixed within 10 minutes!!! Paradise gave us a quote so we have an idea of the cost for when this ancient unit ACTUALLY dies, and it was $3k-$8k cheaper than our other quotes!!! They could have easily just given us a price for a new unit like everyone else. I appreciate that Paradise put forth the effort to figure out the problem, and saved us THOUSANDS!!!

Melanie Kettle

They scheduled me in a timely manner. The technician (Jonathan)was very professional, explained the system, and answered all my questions.

Christine Wilcox

They were great. Came out on a Thursday and looked at my system. Went over all of my options of repairs or replacements. Explained both the advantages and disadvantages of both options in detail so I could make an informed decision. Came back out the following Monday to do the work. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Marianne Herman

Exactly what I needed!

Jon Hinds

On time, explained everything very well. Came up with come options to repair my system rather than replace. Thank you.

john norris

Johnathan and Matt very knowledgeable and professional. Addressed my problem and fixed at a very reasonable price. Would highly recommend.

I was in Paradise after the repair lol

Kellie L

I can not say enough great things about Jonathon and Paradise Heating and Air. From the moment they answered the phone I knew I made the right choice. This team is top notch! I called on Monday for attic insulation, Tuesday Jonathon came out and spent time showing me what I needed and Thursday the job is done! Clean, professional and treated me and my home like family. I will be using them for EVERYTHING they specialize in. You CAN NOT GO WRONG with this company! 1000% satisfied and never have been so happy to spend money on insulation 🥰.

Brian Motley

My unit for upstairs had a major leak in the evaporation coils. Jonathan and Matthew came over and spent an hour here investigating and giving me my options. I decided to replace the whole unit and they were here on a Saturday replacing the unit. The knowledge that Jonathan possessed was second to none. The experience was excellent I will be using them again and I highly recommend them.

Wilson Moores

I have been extremely pleased with the work performed and customer service.

Cheryl Kruse

I highly recommend Paradise Heating and Air. I contacted them to give me an estimate on adding more insulation to my attic. They were super responsive. They came out, gave me an estimate that I felt was very reasonable. In a very short time I was on their schedule. They showed up at the time they told me they would and they did a great job!! They even took care of the areas that were leaking heat. They are very personable, great to deal with. I am super pleased.

Steve

Always polite. They were at my house at 8:30 pm making sure we had cool air.

Rachael Cowan

Jonathan has always been very respectful and helpful when he comes to service our HVAC! They are prompt to get you on the schedule, have fair pricing, and he is great about explaining what he did to fix your problems. This is an honest company that makes you feel valued.

Jason Motley

I would highly recommend Jonathan and Paradise Heating and Air. I called multiple places to get quotes on replacing my two older units. What sets Paradise apart is Jonathan took the time to explain my current system, as well as pricing comparable new systems. Not once did he try and sale me the bells and whistles that did not align with what I was replacing like the other businesses. He was not pushy and his prices can't be beat. You can't go wrong with Paradise Heating and Air and they will be my shop for any HVAC needs moving forward. Thank You for being fair and honest.

Monti Pres

Wonderful

Ramona Martin

Trustworthy and honest! I'm so thankful for the service I receive from Paradise Heating and Air. I am a repeat customer because I know Jonathan will not try to sell something I do not need. He explains any issues in detail leaving the decision up to me on whether or not to replace a part. Jonathan takes his time to make sure everything is in good working order before he leaves.He truly cares about his customers. I highly recommend keeping your unit(s) serviced twice a year. I am seeing the benefits on being proactive with this. It's totally worth it. I cannot rave enough about the customer service you receive from Paradise Heating and Air. Call them!!!
