    It’s Never Too Late To Book A Maintenance Check For Your Heating System

    HVAC MaintenanceIt is very difficult for us to extol the virtues of having your HVAC furnace checked, no matter what the time of year, though now that winter is upon us, this is, without doubt the best time.

    Why is it difficult for us to recommend such a checkup? Because we are aware that most of you think that we only recommend checkups as it helps us to generate more money. We come out, tap a few bits of your furnace with a spanner and then send you a bill.

    The truth is, a maintenance checkup is actually quite a technical challenge and something that only a qualified HVAC engineer should carry out. In fact, the only element of the maintenance of an HVAC unit you should carry out is checking/cleaning of the air filters.

    Avoid a costly emergency call-out

    So why should you get your HVAC unit checked now that winter is here? Well, to begin with, a routine maintenance check is a heck of a lot cheaper than an emergency call-out on a Sunday, so while you think you are saving money, you could very well be costing yourself money in the longer term. Approaching 85% of all furnace repairs can be avoided through regular maintenance.

    Increased home safety

    Whether oil or gas fired, HVAC units are powerful beasts and need to be treated with respect. While they are not inherently dangerous, like anything, if an HVAC furnace isn’t properly maintained, its condition can become dangerous, putting your home at risk, as well as lives.

    Optimize efficiency

    It doesn’t take a lot for your furnace to become inefficient, which is why regular servicing is so important. When you think about it, if a boiler is running at only 80% it’s usual efficiency, that adds 20% to the cost of all gas it uses – and a 30% drop in efficiency is far from unheard of. Regular servicing doesn’t cost you money, it saves you money if you look at the bigger picture.

    Increase the life of your HVAC unit

    It is not a marketing gimmick but more a statement of fact that regular servicing of your HVAC unit will greatly extend its life. Furnaces aren’t cheap these days, so if you can get an extra five years’ use out of yours, then that can add up to quite some saving.

    Now, rather than wait for a costly breakdown of your furnace, why not give us a call at A&E Heating and Air Conditioning and let’s book a time to come out and check it over and make sure it is running at its best.
