I’ve been worried lately that we are going to wear out the HVAC system in our house.
I know that we probably use our HVAC system more than most people around here do because we just like being comfortable in our home.
Maybe we are all spoiled or something, but in the summertime, we like to keep the temperature settings on the thermostat around 65 degrees. We’d love to have it cold in the house in the summer when the weather is hot at the side.That means that our central air conditioning unit runs a whole lot more than people who keep their thermostats set at 70 or 72 degrees. I realize this, and I know that our air conditioning bills are much higher than most people’s, but we don’t care because having central air conditioning is that important to us during the summer. And honestly, it’s the same thing for us during the winter. We have really cold winters around here, and so we keep our furnace running nearly all the time during the cold season. I know that when you use your heating and cooling system so much throughout the year, it puts excessive wear and tear on all of the components inside of the HVAC system. All of the parts need to be maintained regularly because without the right HVAC maintenance, the parts will fail and you’ll end up stuck without a working heating and cooling system. I’m afraid that that might be where we are heading since we use our heating and cooling almost constantly!
