Monday, February 18th, 2013

In Utah, it can get very cold in the winter. That’s why you want a heater you can rely on in your home. In this blog post, we’ve put together a few reasons heating maintenance is so important.

Improves Efficiency

Not only does heating maintenance improve the efficiency of your heating system, but it also improves the efficiency of your entire home. During annual maintenance visits, our technicians will test your system to ensure that it is maintaining proper efficiency levels. We also test the airflow, which is another factor in how efficiently your system is running. We can resolve the issue once we know whether it is airflow or another cause.

Prevents Heating Repairs

In addition to lowering energy use and saving money on utility bills, routine maintenance for your heating system also saves money on potential repairs. Don’t wait until your heater breaks down in the middle of a cold snap, call today to schedule your yearly tune-up.

Extends the Life of the Equipment

Even if you have an older system, keeping up with routine maintenance can help extend the life of the equipment. We can ensure that everything is working properly, and clean your system, which helps it last longer. Why not get the most out of your heating system? Make sure you schedule maintenance at least once a year.

Maintenance Really Does Save Money

Wednesday, September 14th, 2011

When it comes to your home heating and cooling systems in your Utah home, you really cannot go wrong with proper annual maintenance. While it may seem like an unnecessary expense, especially if your systems are relatively new, you will save a lot in the long run if you pay that small fee once a year for each system.

During a maintenance visit, a technician can thoroughly clean out your heating or cooling system and check all parts to make sure they are not showing signs of excessive wear and tear. If they do find a problem or a part that needs to be replaced, they will be able to make the necessary repairs quickly and you will not have to worry about calling someone out later for an emergency visit.

Also, catching problems early like this means that repairs will likely involve fewer parts and cost much less than they would if you let the problem go and it became more widespread. The truth is that your heating or cooling system can continue to work when one or another of its parts is not working correctly, but that means that other parts of the system have to work overtime to create the same result.

Your heating or cooling system will also be much more energy efficient if it receives regular tune ups and attention from a professional. Even the best new systems lose a small percentage of their efficiency each year that they are in operation. While this is not much from year to year, the cumulative effect will soon cause your energy bills to climb higher than necessary.

Paying for regular maintenance, then, can actually save you money because it will mean you pay less each month to run your system. And it is never too late to start. Even if your heating or cooling system is not new, it will benefit from a thorough cleaning and tune up. You may be quite surprised how much your energy bills go down after this type of service has been performed.

Annual maintenance can also help you to get more for your money by extending the useful life of the heating or cooling system. Many systems that are properly maintained can last even beyond their expected life span, meaning that you will not have to replace it as soon as you would have otherwise. For all of these reasons, the minimal cost of an annual maintenance visit is well worth paying over the long term.
