Why is it important to have
regular maintenance on my home comfort equipment?
We're glad you asked!
You wouldnıt buy a brand new car and never expect to have to air
the tires, change the oil, and check out any unusual noises, would
you? Well, in the same way it is important to have regular inspections
of your comfort equipment by a qualified technician. Just as a
well running car can get the best gas mileage and keep you safe
on the road, properly running home comfort equipment will run
more efficiently and keep you comfortable and safe in your home.
Warranties
As a matter of fact, good warranties can make you complacent about
the need for regular inspections for your home comfort system.
While many extended warranties are sound investments, they can
lead some homeowners to a false sense of safety and reliability.
If not inspected and maintained there are many things which over
the years can compromise your comfort equipmentıs performance
and reliability.

equipment is to prevent them from occurring. The best way to do
that is scheduling regular maintenance. Consider the purchase
of a planned service agreement and head off problems before they
start. Even the best equipment, if not maintained properly could
cause problems. Changes made to your home during remodeling or
careless activity can result in kinks, blockages and even leaks
in your ductwork, which can lead, to poor airflow, discomfort
and even higher utility bills.

Carbon Monoxide in your home is a threat to your safety, but it is a threat that is preventable. Cars and trucks, lawn equipment, water heaters, stoves, clothes dryers, furnaces, space heaters, and other combustion appliances are some of the potential sources of carbon monoxide. Though designed to be safe and not produce carbon monoxide, home heating systems are only one of the many sources. In addition negative pressure in your home, coupled with improper venting of combustion products, can lead to carbon monoxide entering your living space. Negative pressure can be caused by central vacuum systems, high volume kitchen range hoods, counter top range exhaust systems, bathroom exhaust fans and particularly fireplaces which can remove an enormous amount of air from your home when burning.
Prevention is the most important step to reduce carbon monoxide problems. Thatıs why it is important to schedule annual maintenance by a qualified technician to check combustion appliances to insure they are operating properly and that all chimneys and vents are connected properly and free of blockages.
Comfort systems protection
Extended warranties can offer complete parts and labour protection for the next 5 or 10 years. You can rest easy knowing that you wonıt have to sweat the bill. In addition, to extended warranties a planned service agreement offers the additional protection and peace of mind knowing that the equipment is both efficient, safe and that your comfort is maximized.
