Did you know?...

 

It is common practice to take your car in for regular oil changes, maintenance, and washes...right? Without proper care, you wouldn’t expect a car to last for more that a few years. The very same is true of your home comfort systems.

 

Furnaces, air conditioners, and whole house generators are some of the most expensive appliances in your home, so it is important to make sure they are well taken care of. Regular maintenance & cleanings can extend the life of your equipment and can help you catch potential problems & avoid sudden breakdowns. Having clean and efficient systems can help lower energy bills as well!

 

Many homeowners have their furnaces tuned up every year to insure everything is clean and in working order before turning it on for the season, but it is just as important to have a regular inspection done for your air conditioner and generator as well. Your typical a/c and home generator are located outside of the home, and while they are designed to withstand weather, they are also exposed to small animals, insects, and foliage.
