How Does HVAC Maintenance Save Energy? According to FacilitiesNet, HVAC maintenance results in 15\u201220 percent savings in energy. Below are some ways regular maintenance helps save energy. Regular maintenance allows the HVAC system to run smoother, so the moving parts need less energy to keep it going. Maintenance for outside air dampers, which let in outside air for cooling, ensures the dampers are not allowing more air in than needed, thereby\u00a0using more energy to condition that extra air. Replacing an old system with an energy-efficient system, such as one with an ENERGY STAR rating, will use less energy over time.
