Conway Corporation would like to encourage customers to have a preventative maintenance “tune-up” performed every year on their central air conditioning unit. Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning units (HVAC) lose up to 5% of its original efficiency for every year in operation.  Keeping your home’s cooling system tuned-up and running properly is one of the best things you can do, both from a comfort perspective as well as a financial one.

Over the course of 12 months, a home's heating and cooling system can easily run for 3,200 hours. Comparing that to a vehicle running at 45 miles per hour for that long of a period, your looking at putting the equivalent of over 140,000 miles on your unit during the next year. Performing a system tune-up at the beginning of each heating and cooling cycle is like giving your system an oil-change and making sure it's road worthy before going on a long trip.

Small problems can be detected long before they turn into big, expensive problems when temperatures are likely at their worst and when it's most inconvenient for you.

Customer who have tune-ups performed regularly can see these annual benefits:

• Lower utility costs – According to the US Dept. of Energy, you can save up to 10% on your heating and cooling bills by performing annual tune-ups on your HVAC systems.

• Increased comfort level of your home – Efficient HVAC systems provide better air quality and less temperature fluctuation.

• Extended life of your HVAC equipment – Regularly tuned units will more efficiently and require fewer service calls.

In addition, reducing energy waste helps protect our environment by reducing the need for generation produced by fossil fuels such as natural gas and coal.  The burning of fossil fuels emit carbon dioxide determined to be the main contributor to green-house gas effect linked to global warming.

Save Some Green, for yourself and for future generations, by contacting one of Conway Corporation’s partnering HVAC contractors to schedule an AC tune-up.
