Is HVAC Service Really Necessary?

HVAC systems are essential components of modern homes and businesses. These systems maintain indoor comfort, air quality, and energy efficiency, however, many people wonder whether HVAC service is really necessary.

At Baehr Heating & Air, we believe that regular HVAC service is an investment in the comfort and health of your family. Our team of experts is fully equipped and trained to perform routine maintenance, repairs, and installations of HVAC systems. With over 35 years of experience, we are dedicated to providing high-quality HVAC services to the residents of the Nevada City area.

Reasons That HVAC Service Is Necessary

There are some significant reasons why regular HVAC service is necessary. Here are a few of them:

Prolong Equipment Life: Regular HVAC service helps extend your equipment’s life by detecting and fixing minor problems before they become significant and expensive repairs. Regular maintenance also reduces the risk of breakdowns during the hottest or coldest months, when you need your HVAC system the most.
Improve Energy Efficiency: A well-maintained HVAC system operates more efficiently, consuming less energy and reducing monthly energy bills. Our technicians can identify and fix leaks, clean filters, and adjust settings to optimize your system’s performance.
Enhance Indoor Air Quality: Over time, HVAC systems can accumulate dust, mold, and other allergens that can circulate in your home, causing health problems for you and your family. Our technicians can clean your system and replace filters to improve air quality and reduce the risk of respiratory issues.
Ensure Safe Operation: An HVAC system not correctly maintained can pose a safety hazard, such as the risk of electrical shock or gas leaks. Our technicians perform safety checks to identify and fix any potential safety hazards.
Save Money: Regular HVAC service can save you money in the long run by reducing energy costs, extending the life of your equipment, and preventing costly breakdowns.
Meet Warranty Requirements: Most HVAC system manufacturers require regular maintenance to keep the warranty in effect. Failing to maintain your system can void your warranty and leave you with a costly repair bill.

      We are so pleased with our new HVAC system and bathroom exhaust fan.  Jay and his entire staff were super. A couple of issues came up and they stuck with the process and fixed everything with care, speed, and great care.
Thank you so much!

      We recently had our heating and a/c system replaced by the team from Baehr.  They were absolutely fantastic to work with.  Alex gave us lots of options to think about and also guided us through the pros and cons of each one. They were very professional and courteous throughout the process.  We highly recommend Alex, John and the whole team from Baehr.

      The owner came out himself to check out my radiant floors which I already thought was cool. When he looked at them he came to the conclusion that the zone control modules were probably shot. He told me that if I am comfortable changing them myself Id save some money, I agreed. He gave me some pointers on how to do it and the website on which I could find the products. That was 1 year ago, I finally got around to changing them and now my radiant floors work like new. Thank you guys for helping and being thoughtful. And most importantly being right.

      Props to Jay and his company! Although they were super busy and had to reschedule my appointment, it was worth the wait. He knew exactly what he was working with and got my heater working properly again. The previous company that came out (South Placer Heating and Air) gave me a wrong diagnosis for the issue and then tried to convince me I needed to replace the heat exchange or the entire HVAC unit! Thank goodness I got a second opinion, and landed someone honest. Jay saved me big time.

      Honest and reliable business. Both Johnny and Jay care about their customers and the community. They have our best interests at heart, and I highly recommend them! If I have an HVAC issue again, I know who to call. Did I mention Jay showed up on his day off when an emergency repair came up and we needed to reschedule? These guys are a stop shop. They have all the next steps available and genuinely care. Awesome front desk as well.
