Residential fall tune-ups
A: One of the best ways to keep you heating bills down is to assure that your heating system is running efficiently. According to energystar.gov, As much as half of the energy used in your home goes to heating and cooling. So maintaining your home’s heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) system can have a big effect on your utility bills, and your comfort. According to a recent survey of homeowners across the country by Honeywell, Inc., 45% of American homeowners neglect to have their heating-cooling equipment professionally serviced at least once a year. An annual heating system “clean & check” tune-up is one of the best home maintenance investments you can make. A poorly functioning system can result in: • Higher expenses by as much as 15% • Accelerated equipment wear and increased maintenance costs • Health risks Proper maintenance can extend the life of your system up to 10-years and make it run much more efficiently, lowering your monthly bills. However, one of the most reasons to have you system checked regularly is that it can save lives. Small cracks in a heat exchanger or problems with the flue system could allow deadly carbon monoxide gas to seep into your home. Hundreds of people in the U.S. lose their lives each year in these tragedies. Next month, we will discuss what is involved in a residential fall tune-up.
