Save Money and Avoid Hassles
Regular furnace maintenance is the single most important factor to
ensuring years of trouble-free, energy efficient service no matter
what type or brand of system you have. Of course, when your
system is working, it’s the easiest thing to forget about and take for
granted. Our tune-up is specifically designed to catch problems
before they compromise your comfort or safety and make sure your
system continues to operate efficiently and trouble-free. If you’re not
convinced you need such a tune-up, consider these facts:
-
Most major system repairs or replacements occur with systems that
are over 5 years old.
-
Most routine repairs can be attended to for under $100.
-
Major system repairs typically cost $250 to $1,000.
-
Routine maintenance INCREASES the life span of the average
residential heating and cooling system.
-
Most health risks associated with home air quality can be dramatically reduced or eliminated with proper system maintenance.
-
Efficiently operating systems can cut monthly energy costs by up to 25% vs. poorly maintained systems.
In other words, NOT performing this important maintenance on your home comfort system WILL cost you hundreds, if not thousands of dollars in repairs and unnecessary energy costs. It’s really just a question of when. What’s more, periodic maintenance protects your family’s health and safety and shields you from the hassles and headaches of untimely system breakdowns and costly major repairs.
