No one should expect their heating system to just keep working properly winter after winter without some maintenance from time to time. A heating system without proper maintenance is a safety hazard and a broken down unit waiting to happen.
Not to mention the fact that operating costs often skyrocket due to the inefficient use of fuel or leaking duct work allowing hot air to escape through the roof. In the worst case scenario safety is compromised due to high levels of Carbon Monoxide which can result in injury or death.
There is some maintenance that homeowners can undertake themselves, such as the cleaning and replacing of filters. To ensure safe and efficient operation of a heating system, however, homeowners should have their furnace inspected and cleaned annually by a qualified service technician.
For just $74.99 we will come out and perform our Fall Heater Safety Inspection and provide a free home energy efficiency evaluation suggesting simple changes which could be made to improve operating costs and unit efficiency.
The Fall Safety Inspection includes –
- Safety test for carbon monoxide (CO)
- Check Air Filters
- Check operation of thermostat and safety controls
- Check gas pilot safety system and clean as required
- Check electrical connections for electric units
- Visual Inspection of Duct Work to insure proper insulation and identify leaks
- Clean motor and fan
- Check blower operation
- Check condition, tension and alignment of fan belt, and perform required adjustments
- Clean burners and set for proper combustion & ignition

FREE INSTALLATION ON A NEW DIGITAL THERMOSTAT
While we are out there if you want us to install a new digital electronic backlit thermostat we’ll waive the $75 install fee and put it in for just $87.50 which is the cost of the thermostat. We carry these on our truck so you don’t have to make a decision until we get there. We strongly recommend switching to a digital thermostat is you don’t have one because this will save you on your electricity usage. Older thermostats can only get within a 4 degree window of the actual temperature where the new digital technology allows you to be dead on accurate. This keeps your unit from running when it doesn’t need to and it shuts off when its supposed to saving you expensive energy fuel charges.
