Read on for some suggestions on questions you should ask your technician during a heater maintenance appointment, or chat with one of our friendly team members at any time!

What Is The Ideal Temperature To Set My Thermostat To Save Money?

Did you know that setting your thermostat at one consistent temperature can lower your energy bill significantly? When you schedule a furnace tune-up appointment with your favorite technician, it’s always wise to ask how you could save money on your gas and electric bills.

Many heating and cooling system professionals recommend keeping your home between 75 and 78 degrees in the summer and 65 to 68 in the winter. If you have a smart thermostat, it’s even easier to program it to fit your lifestyle and cut back on energy waste!

How Can I Improve My Home’s Indoor Air Quality?

Asking your technician how to boost your indoor air quality can help reduce annoying allergens in your home, as well as keep you and your family more healthy. When your furnace circulates heat, it also circulates the dust, dirt and other pollutants that are floating around in your air. Some ways that you can improve the quality of your air are:

  • Switching out your air filters regularly
  • Cleaning your ducts every once in a while
  • Investing in a quality air purifier or dehumidifier
  • Checking your ductwork to make sure that there are no leaks or damage

How Many Times Should I Schedule Maintenance Appointments?

Wondering how many times you should set up an appointment with your technician? This question is always smart to ask so that you can plan ahead and mark down some dates for furnace tune-ups! Most heating system professionals claim that homeowners should schedule at least two maintenance appointments annually, one in the springtime and one in the fall. However, if you have an older system, you may want to set up more appointments since furnaces usually only last for 15 to 20 years.

The Service Was Excellent

We called late one evening after our AC went out. They were very responsive and technician David Monk was at our home at 8:00am the next day as promised. He diagnosed the issue, got the part needed, installed and tested it all by 10:00am. The service was excellent and David was so nice and personable. I would highly recommend this company.
