How To Extend the Life of Your HVAC System
Indoor heating and air conditioning may have once been a luxury, but today they’re a necessity. Your HVAC system works year-round to keep you and your home feeling comfortable. It’s important to stay in tune with your system and deal with minor issues as they arise. Dealing with minor problems as they happen will help you avoid major breakdowns and the expensive repair and replacement costs that come with it.
Dominion Service Company is here to share some tips and tricks to help you extend the life span of your HVAC system for as long as possible.
Schedule Preventative HVAC Maintenance
Regular preventative HVAC maintenance is one of the best ways to care for your HVAC unit. Maintenance plays a major role in the overall service life of your HVAC system. Regular maintenance allows HVAC professionals to spot and fix minor issues before they worsen.
Having your system inspected regularly also means replacing worn-out parts that can cause problems. Our service technicians will do everything necessary to ensure your HVAC system is running as it should.
In short, preventative HVAC maintenance is beneficial for the following reasons:
- It helps your unit last longer
- Prevents costly repairs
- Improves your safety
- Lowers utility bills
- Improves the indoor air quality in your home

Change Filters Regularly
Another great way to extend the life of your HVAC system is to replace the filters regularly. Your HVAC filters work to catch any allergens in the air, such as dust, dander, dirt, mold, bacteria, and more. Over time, though, these pollutants can build up and clog the filter.
Your HVAC system filters help boost the unit’s performance while keeping the air in your home clean, reducing the risk of health concerns.
Clean Your Air Ducts
Like changing the filters in your HVAC unit, cleaning your air ducts is a great way to maintain your HVAC system while improving the air quality in your home. Air ducts circulate the air from your HVAC system in and out of each room in your home. Since this is the air you and your family are constantly breathing, you want it to be as clean as possible.
Air duct cleaning is beneficial because it creates a cleaner living environment, reduces allergens/ pollutants in your air, removes unpleasant smells and odors, and improves the efficiency of your airflow. This helps your HVAC system operate more efficiently by not having to work as hard to circulate air throughout your home.

Let Your HVAC System Rest
Your HVAC system works hard to keep you cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Though we typically rely on our HVAC systems to provide comfort all year round, sometimes it’s good to give your unit a rest.
Giving your HVAC system a break from time to time can help extend its service life. Constantly pushing your unit can wear it down over time, so occasional breaks will help it last longer. An easy way to accomplish this would be to turn off your unit when you’re not home or adjust your thermostat when you’re away.
