Time for heating system maintenance…!

Don’t let the lingering summer heat fool you: now that Labor Day is upon us, cooler weather will soon be on its way to NY and CT, and before you know it you’ll be switching your thermostat from “cool” to “heat” mode.

Before you flip that switch, it’s a good idea to pick up the phone and schedule your annual heating system maintenance.

Some of our customers wait for that first crisp, sweatshirt-weather night to phone for routine heating service, but if you do that you may find yourself having to wait a while to find an expert technician with an open appointment time. That could lead you to delay, or even skip, your annual heating maintenance – not a very good idea.

Just like your car, your hot air furnace or boiler needs routine maintenance to keep it running at its best. An annual tune-up – included in our WatchGuard Ultra and Gold Plus Plans – will help you to:

• Address minor problems before they turn into expensive repairs – About four out of five heating system repairs are avoidable with simple routine care.
• Keep your heating equipment running at peak efficiency – A well-maintained heating system is more efficient, so it delivers more heating bang for your buck.
• Keep your warranty in force – Much like a car, the warrantees on most heating equipment require annual service to keep their coverage in force. If you don’t get regular maintenance, you might have to shell out money for repairs – even if your equipment is still covered!
• Keep your equipment running reliably – Routine maintenance for your heating system will not only keep your furnace or boiler running better, it will keep it running longer and harder – an especially comforting thought during the winter when you need it most.
