Well… not exactly. But – just like your car, the manufacturers state that all equipment should be inspected by a professional, each season, before the system is started up. The three main reasons for this:
|
| 1. |
Your Safety. There are articles in the paper every year about families dying from CARBON MONOXIDE poisoning. CO poisoning is an even greater threat for the elderly and young children. And – the biggest problem with CO is that it has no odor, taste or color. This is why you often hear it called the ‘silent killer.’ (Did you know that your furnace can go from being in safe operation to a health hazard... in just one season?)

| 2. |
Utility Overpayment and Longevity. With regular maintnenace performed on your system, you can rest assured that your equipment is operating at peak efficiency. What this means for you: Your utilities will cost less and your heating and air system will last longer!
|
| 3. |
Manufacturers’ Requirements. The manufacturers require you to maintain your system in order to get their advertised warranties. In other words, you have to have your unit serviced by a qualified professional in order to insure that if a part fails under warranty (for instance, an expensive circuit board), you can get the replacement part for no charge!
