Keeping Your HVAC System in Peak Condition
Preventive maintenance of your HVAC System benefits your economic bottom line. It can prevent costly breakdowns, reduce energy bills and greatly extend the life of your equipment. It is also a fact that many if not most HVAC manufacturers may require proof of routine maintenance to validate the warranties on your system.
Keeping your system clean and efficient has also been shown to improve Air Quality significantly. It is safer. The possibility of some electrical or other malfunction that could cause damage or destruction in the home, is much less in a well maintained system. And if you are concerned about the environment, it just makes sense that a system working at peak efficiency not only costs less to run, but has a lesser impact on your carbon footprint.Â
What Happens When I Book a Maintenance Check?
When our HVAC Service Technician comes to perform a maintenance check, they will do likely do several things:
