People here in Southern Indiana react in all sorts of ways when the time comes to turn on their heating systems for the first time after summer has pretty much exited the premises.
But perhaps the most common reaction goes something like this: “Hey, it’s cold in here, I’m turning on the heat!” And nobody complains.
Well, however you and your family react to the passing of summer and the corresponding emergence of fall, your heating system suddenly takes on a huge role of importance after having sat completely idle for roughly the past five or six months.
Which begs the question: if your car sat idle for that long, would you one day just hop inside and expect it to start and run as always? Probably not. Instead, you’d do whatever was necessary – jump start it or get it towed – to get it thoroughly checked out by a qualified mechanic before once again using it confidently as a daily mode of transportation.
blWe think that same kind of thinking should apply when it comes to your home heating system. In fact, here at Messmer Mechanical, we employ a very thorough heating system and cleaning inspection that results in these
Top 5 benefits that directly accrue to you and your family:
- Lower cost of operation. With annual preventative maintenance, we can help ensure all system components are working toward the same goal: providing a steady supply of heat as efficiently as possible. Greater efficiency leads to lower utility costs, and that puts money directly back into your wallet.
- Fewer repair problems. During our inspection we look at everything that could go wrong with your heating system and make adjustments, as necessary, to see to it that they don’t. While no heating system will run forever, it can run longer than expected and with fewer if any repair problems through annual preventative maintenance.
- Protect your warranty. Even newer heating systems should undergo annual maintenance to help keep them in their best possible working order. In addition, many furnace warranties require annual maintenance by a qualified heating service company to keep the warranty in force. If in doubt, check your warranty for details.
- Added safety. Let’s say, for example, you have a gas furnace. Should the heat exchanger develop a crack or leak at any point, dangerous levels of carbon monoxide can escape into your living quarters. And that’s just one of the safety issues we address during our cleaning and inspection process.
Since we have to turn off your heating system for part of the cleaning and inspection process, fall is absolutely the best time to schedule service. Still, whether it’s now or later, don’t let winter pass without contacting Messmer Mechanical for the best in home heating preventative maintenance.
