The Benefits of Equipment Maintenance
Over the course of the next 12 months, your home’s heating and cooling system can easily run for 3,000 hours. Comparing that to a vehicle running at 40 miles per hour for that long a period, you are looking at putting the equivalent of over 120,000 miles on your unit during the next year. Performing a system tune-up at the beginning of each heating and cooling cycle is like giving your system an oil-change and making sure it’s road worthy before going on a long trip.
Small problems can be detected long before they turn into big, expensive problems when temperatures are likely at their worst and when it’s most inconvenient for you - a holiday get-together, an important birthday bash or anniversary, or the hottest or coldest day of the year.
Customers Who Have Tune-ups Performed Regularly See These Annual Benefits:
Fewer Service Problems. Tune-ups prevent costly equipment breakdowns, maintain optimal efficiency and can extend the life of your equipment. They also prevent your system from breaking down during peak season when service calls take longer to get to.
Savings on Heating & Cooling Bills. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, you can save up to 10% on your utility bills just by having regular tune-ups performed on your heating and cooling system each year.
Safety. With gas furnaces, regular inspections can detect tiny cracks in your heating system’s heat exchanger, cracks through which carbon monoxide can leak into your home. We follow strict standards when we test for sources of dangerous levels of carbon monoxide in your home. Detector life cycle and batteries are homeowner’s responsibility.
Warranties. Your equipment warranty may not be honored by the manufacturer if it is not properly maintained.
With a Betlem Residential Heating and Air Conditioning service plan, we'll make sure your equipment is operating at peak efficiency and performance — 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
