Regular system maintenance is the single most important factor to ensuring you years of trouble-free, energy efficient service no matter what type or brand of system you have. Of course, when your system is working, it's the easiest thing to forget about and take for granted. Our 58 Point Tune-up is specifically designed to catch problems before they compromise your comfort or safety and make sure your system continues to operate efficiently and trouble-free. If you're not convinced you need such a tune-up, consider these facts:
- Most major system repairs or replacements occur with systems that are over 5 years old.
- A complete system replacement is 50% more likely to be required in systems that have NOT had routine maintenance.
- Most routine repairs can be attended to for under $100.
- Major system repairs typically cost $250 to $1,000.
- A typical system replacement will cost $2,500 to over $6,000.
- Routine maintenance DOUBLES the life of the average residential heating system.
- Most health risks associated with home air quality can be dramatically reduced or eliminated with proper system maintenance.
- Efficiently operating systems can cut monthly energy costs by up to 25% vs. poorly maintained systems.
In other words, NOT performing this important maintenance on your home comfort system WILL cost you hundreds, if not thousands of dollars in repairs and unnecessary energy costs. It's really just a question of when. What's more, periodic maintenance protects your family's health and safety and shields you from the hassles and headaches of untimely system breakdowns and costly major repairs.
IMPORTANT: Not all system tune-ups are created equal.
The truth is, while our competitors low-priced "clean & checks" may spot the most obvious problems, they are too superficial to reveal many of the flaws that could shorten the lifespan of your system or spell serious trouble down the road.
