B&B HVAC - Preventive Maintenance Plan

DID YOU KNOW?

$ Some HVAC problems can DOUBLE your operating costs without reducing your comfort level.

$ Up to 80% of all HVAC compressor failures could be eliminated if the problems that led to the failure were found and eliminated in a timely manner.

$ A “Freon” (refrigerant) undercharge of only 10% can increase your operating costs by up to 20% or more.

$ Freon should never need to be replaced. It has no known shelf life. If it must be added every year, there is an expensive leak which should be found and repaired.

$ A dirty evaporator, condenser and blower wheel could increase electrical usage by 50% or more.

$ Just a 100^th of an inch of dirt or film on an evaporator coil can reduce efficiency by as much as 15%.

$ Undetected and un-repaired small problems often lead to expensive major repairs.

$ PMP inspections can find and repair dangerous problems.

According to studies conducted by the Louisiana Cooperative Extension Service and Gulf States Utility Company, you can save up to $50 a month on your utility bill by making sure your HVAC system is cleaned and serviced regularly.

The study concluded that proper HVAC maintenance can:

INCREASE COMFORT
LOWER OPERATING COSTS
INCREASE SYSTEM CAPACITY
INSURE LONGER EQUIPMENT LIFE

Wikipedia defines “Preventive Maintenance” as:

"The care and servicing by qualified personnel for the purpose of maintaining equipment in satisfactory condition by providing systematic inspection, detection and correction of incipient failures either before they occur or before they develop into major defects”.

Preventive Maintenance Plans (PMP) are agreements between you and B&B HVAC for scheduled inspections and maintenances of your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems.

PMPs are generally scheduled for the spring and fall to maintain peak efficiency, help keep utility costs as low as possible, extend the life of your HVAC system, and avoid unexpected equipment failures.

Benefits:

Energy Consumption:

The HVAC system is most likely the single biggest user of energy in your home. In fact, well over a third of the energy used in the United States is used to heat and cool buildings. According to the Consortium for Energy Efficiency (CEE) up to 50% more energy could be saved with the proper installation, sizing and maintenance of central HVAC systems.

Savings:

PMPs typically more than pay for themselves through higher efficiency, lower utility costs, fewer system breakdowns and discounts on repairs when they do occur.

Peace of Mind:

Proactive maintenance of your equipment will mean fewer breakdowns and longer life for your HVAC equipment. Every PMP customer is ensured “PRIORITY SERVICE” if a system failure were to occur.
