WHAT IS ANNUAL PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE?
Why is preventative maintenance important?
Annual preventative maintenance is important to keep your HVAC system up and running all season long with no surprise breakdowns, while operating at top efficiency. Customers who keep up with their annual preventive maintenance schedule can benefit from lower energy bills, fewer repairs, lower chance of a major breakdown, safer equipment operation, and longer lasting equipment.
OUR PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE SERVICES
DUCTLESS MAINTENANCE
Just like conventional heating and air conditioning systems, regular maintenance of your ductless system is especially important. Mini-splits need free-flowing circulation on both the indoor and outdoor units. Cleaning your filters regularly is essential to keep your unit operating at high efficiency. Not only will it save you money and keep you healthy, dirty air filters can also damage expensive internal components. During your annual maintenance appointment with Elmar, we will ensure your filters and condenser coils are clean and operating efficiently. Our trained staff will do a full professional inspection of your system to make sure your mini-splits keep running for years to come.
TANKLESS MAINTENANCE
Tankless hot water heaters are very efficient units that can last up to 20 years if they are taken care of with regularly scheduled maintenance. Tankless manufacturers recommend that customers flush their units every 6-months to 2-years to remove any mineral deposits inside the system. If you live in an area with hard water, you may need to flush your system more frequently. Our trusted and trained Elmar preventative maintenance team can help maintain your tankless system.
HVAC SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
Maintaining your AC and Heating systems will save on energy costs, extend its lifespan, and save you money on costly repairs or early replacement. Dirty filters or improperly operating systems can lead to the growth of microorganisms such as mold, which can exacerbate allergies and asthma. The best time to have your HVAC systems serviced is right before each cooling or heating seasons.
AIR QUALITY UNITS MAINTENANCE
Air pollution in your home can be just as bad – or even worse – than it is outdoors. With a little preventive maintenance, you can take immediate steps to improve your indoor air quality. Air pollutants can range from contaminants brought in from the outdoors and dangerous gas leaks. All HVAC systems should have their AC filters, and air ducts checked regularly. Humidity levels and moist conditions breed mold and mildew that can cause respiratory issues over time. Always ensure that your HVAC humidifiers are well maintained and working properly. Schedule an appointment with Elmar today for peace of mind.
BENEFITS OF PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
INCREASE EFFICIENCY
Along with lasting longer, equipment that sees routine preventive maintenance also runs more efficiently.
A small thing like a clogged air filter reduces the airflow, which causes the fan motor to work harder. Unfortunately, this means more energy is used, which will increase your utility bill. Eventually, the fan motor can burn out, resulting in overheating and failure of the entire system. An HVAC unit sees improvement across the board due to proper preventive maintenance.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
It is essential having proper preventative maintenance to control the health and safety of your loved ones. Preventive maintenance is a must tool to keep your family healthy and safe from the world pollutions and particles in the air we breathe every day.
SAVE MONEY
Unplanned repairs typically cost between $900 to $1,500, which is 3 to 9 times more than planned maintenance. The average maintenance plan will cost you around $150 (based on your equipment). And this is the reason why preventative maintenance plays a huge role in saving you money overall.
LASTING LONGER
The essential benefit of preventive maintenance is lengthening the lifespan of your heating and cooling system. Keeping your equipment in good condition allows it to run longer, lowering costs. Also, preventative maintenance increases the time between the failures (TBF). Finally, tracking information like TBF will enable you to plan preventive care at just the right moment, catching the equipment before a breakdown. Therefore, preventative maintenance is always equal to a longer lifespan of your equipment.
LOWER RISK OF BREAKDOWNS
Decreased risk of breakdowns is another critical benefit of preventive maintenance. Only about 10% or less of hvac equipment ever indeed wears out from proper use – this means that 90% of mechanical failures are due to preventable problems. Therefore, an excellent preventative maintenance plan will minimize the risk of breakdowns. In addition, by proactively scheduling maintenance, you can significantly lower the risk of your equipment failing, giving you peace of mind.
MOST POPULAR MAINTENANCE PLANS
TANKLESS PLAN
Flushing a tankless unit once a year will prolong the lifespan of your unit regardless of whether you are using well or city water. It is a well-known fact that the scaling build-up inside the heat exchanger is the number one reason units failer.
DUCTLESS PLAN
Clogged coils on indoor and outdoor units will dramatically reduce the efficiency of your ductless system and increase the breakdowns, which will cause you a lot of spending on repairs.
HVAC PLAN
It is essential to maintain your HVAC system at least twice a year before summer and winter. Clogged filters, coils, and condensate lines can cause colossal spending and breakdowns.

I have a high efficiency HVAC system. The Elmar representative was on time, knowledgeable, professional, and personable. He put on shoe covers at the door and left my home clean! I invited Elmar back to do another service, and I’ll hire them for more work next year. I think their prices are quite reasonable. It’s fair pricing for the excellent and quality work they provide. Highly recommend!
