The Importance of Preventive Maintenance
In the Greater Toledo Area, a heating system runs over 1800 hours per year.
To put this in perspective, a car driven for over 1800 hours at 55 miles per hour would travel over 101,700 miles. Very few drivers put 101,700 miles on their car in a single year. More importantly, no one would consider driving that far without routine oil changes, lubrication, and general maintenance to assure the efficiency, safety, and reliability of the vehicle.
Your heating and cooling system serves you many more hours each year
than your car and, just like your car, your system needs routine maintenance
to operate efficiently, safely, and reliably. Also, a crack or hole in
the heat exchanger of your furnace could allow deadly carbon monoxide
gas to enter your house. Furnaces should be tested every year for signs
of wear or damage and carbon monoxide leaks.
Heating and cooling systems work incredibly hard to perform their
functions for your household. The constant stopping, starting and continual
operation can wear down a machine quickly and unexpectedly without proper
care and maintenance. However, by performing preventive maintenance to service
your system regularly, you can maximize the lifecycle of your heating or
cooling unit and guard against unexpected failures.
Preventive maintenance inspections performed on a regular basis can uncover
and prevent small problems before they turn into bigger, more expensive
ones. It is the most important measure you can take to insure the safety,
reliability and uninterrupted comfort of your home.
